Ninian Glasgow, fisher and burgess of Glasgow

Look at the strokes

1. The capital J descends below the line before curving back.
2. Jonet ends in a tall crossed t.
3. hutchesoun contains a tall h and tightly connected middle strokes, finishing with a compact -oun.

Reading limits: The name is clear; the box includes crossing strokes from the closely spaced line above.

Look at the strokes

1. his is a short possessive separated from the following noun.
2. spous begins with a long s and a deep p descender.
3. The terminal s extends in a descending sweep.

Reading limits: The spouse wording is explicit; it does not state that Jonet was Robert's mother.

Look at the strokes

1. The R opens with a broad loop larger than the body letters.
2. The b has a tall straight ascender.
3. The final t rises and crosses before the line wraps.

Compare in this hand: Robert appears again on image 144 before glasgow his sone.

Reading limits: The forename is secure; the surname and kin term continue on the next line.

Look at the strokes

1. glasgow begins at the left after the line wrap, with a deep looped g descender.
2. his is visibly separate from the surname and from sone.
3. sone begins with the same long s used elsewhere by this clerk.

Compare in this hand: Image 144 repeats Robert glasgow his sone in one line.

Reading limits: The crop ends immediately below the phrase, limiting breathing margin under descenders; the visible kin wording is complete.

Look at the strokes

1. Only the upper portions of several dark strokes survive above the folded/lost paper edge.
2. A tall central stroke and following humps could belong to more than one name or ordinary word.
3. The lower joins and any following relationship word are physically hidden, so the apparent letters cannot be traced continuously.

Reading limits: This framing is intentionally not a positive William identification and proves no sonship or link to Glasgow-3075.

Look at the strokes

1. Johne begins with a large descending J and a tall h.
2. glasgw has a looped g and compressed final w-like strokes.
3. brother is anchored by a tall b and h, with the opening br joined closely.

Compare in this hand: The next two lines repeat the same name-plus-his-plus-kin-term structure.

Reading limits: Brother is explicit; the handwriting does not identify this John as Glasgow-1030.

Look at the strokes

1. Marioun opens with a broad M whose entry stroke sweeps left.
2. The surname repeats the preceding line's deep g and compressed ending.
3. sister begins with a long s; its tall t helps distinguish it from a daughter reading.

Compare in this hand: The parallel John-brother line above and Robert-son line below confirm where the kin word sits.

Reading limits: Sister is explicit; full versus half sibling is not stated.

Look at the strokes

1. Robert has the same looped R and tall b seen in image 143.
2. glasgw again begins with a descending g.
3. sone starts with a long s and ends in a small open e, visually different from the longer brother/sister terms above.

Compare in this hand: This repeats the son relationship from the executor clause on image 143.

Reading limits: Robert's sonship is explicit; it does not establish Jonet Hutchesoun as his mother.
