How to read these notices
Cards lead with the person named in the notice; profile candidates are assessed separately. Birth cutoffs labelled “by c.” are estimates, usually assuming an adult professional was at least 18; open the birth note for the basis. Event groups are broad navigation aids built from each notice’s record type. A relationship filter identifies family wording in the notice, not a proved match to a WikiTree family.

What the notice says
James Glasgow, styled Clerk, is appointed chaplain to the garrison of Edinburgh Castle by a royal commission reported read in the presbytery.
Evidence and identity limits
Full notice retained with Scotland section heading, Edinburgh dateline, preceding sentence, full appointment sentence and following paragraph start. Printed long-s glyph in Glasſgow is f-shaped and can produce OCR Glafgow; normalized surname reading Glasgow. 'Yesterday' refers to the Edinburgh Oct. 21 dateline; identity with the 1738 notice is not asserted. The 1737 and 1738 notices are a probable same-officeholder sequence, not a proved profile identity. Clerk is a clerical style, not evidence of a separate clerk occupation. Neither relative date is calculated from the newspaper issue date. Identity review (6 October 2026): 1737 Edinburgh report that James Glasgow, Clerk, was commissioned chaplain to the Edinburgh Castle garrison. Fasti and the Kilbirnie Fasti entry identify the Castle minister as James, son of Rev. John Glasgow of Kilbirnie and Margaret Scott: Glasgow-1140, strong.

Full Scotland context retained, including dateline and complete Glasgow ordination sentence. The printed long-s glyph in Glasſgow is f-shaped and can produce OCR Glafgow; normalized surname reading Glasgow. Relative 'Last Tuesday' belongs to the Edinburgh Feb. 16 report, not the issue publication date. This notice is not linked to the 1737 appointment or to a profile here. The 1737 and 1738 notices are a probable same-officeholder sequence, not a proved profile identity. Clerk is a clerical style, not evidence of a separate clerk occupation. Neither relative date is calculated from the newspaper issue date. Identity review (6 October 2026): 1738 report that James Glasgow, probationer, was ordained minister of the Castle 'last Tuesday', which is 14 Feb 1738 exactly as in Fasti.

Fasti vol. 1: 'ord. 14th Feb. 1738'. The Edinburgh report dated Thursday 16 Feb 1738 (Old Style) says 'last Tuesday', and 14 Feb 1738 Julian was a Tuesday, so the date and office agree exactly. Fasti vol. 3 (Kilbirnie) names 'James, min. of Edinburgh Castle' as the son of Rev. John Glasgow and Margaret Scott, which is Glasgow-1140's baptism (Kilbirnie, 17 Mar 1700).

Evidence and identity limits
One distress report preserved in three issues, not three masters. Later reprints give St John’s, Antigua, 15 February. The passage describes gale damage, leakage and lightning; Glasgow is also the vessel’s designation/port, not the master’s birthplace.

A postal list does not prove the addressee alive: the elder’s recorded May 1769 death does not absolutely exclude posthumous mail in 1771. No parent, spouse or child is proved by these notices. Identity review (6 October 2026): John Glasgow, Nottingham, Philadelphia letter list January 1758. No John Glasgow is on the Chester County tax lists before 1760 (the Nottingham Glasgows taxed in the 1750s are Samuel and James), so this addressee is either the young John who first appears as a West Nottingham freeman in 1760 (Glasgow-2871) or an untaxed elder; both Nottingham profiles stay possible.
[b. c. 1738; d. 1792-04-03] · letter addressee, NottinghamWhy this candidate?
Chester County tax index: John first appears in West Nottingham in 1760 as a 'Freeman' (single man), then householder 1762-1764, storekeeper 1765 and 1767, landholder to 1791; Hugh Glasgow then holds land in West Nottingham 1793-1799 (80 acres, as John did 1787-1791). That chain fits Glasgow-2871 (John, b. 1738, d. 3 Apr 1792 Chester County, father of Hugh Glasgow-2873). In 1758 that man was about 20, plausibly the addressee. Glasgow-2870 (b. 1722 Libberton, d. 23 May 1769 Nottingham per Find a Grave/family-Bible narrative) never appears as a taxed householder in Nottingham 1747-1764, which weakens the earlier 'probable' grade for him: the only basis was a shared place name and an age fit th

What the notice says
A shipping report states: William Glasgow, from London, at New-York.
Evidence and identity limits
Adjacent entries pair vessel and master names, including The Nancy, Maxwell. Thus William is read as the vessel and Glasgow as its master’s surname; no personal forename is supplied. London and New-York are voyage context, not proved personal residence. The report supplies no exact arrival day, age, family or bridge to later masters. The master’s forename remains unknown: William is the vessel. The 1738/1754 Robert shipmaster candidate and older William namesakes are compatible comparisons, without a voyage or individual bridge. Do not identify this man with the 1792 Belfast captain solely by surname. Identity review (6 October 2026): 1758 shipping line 'William, Glasgow, from London, at New-York'. William is the vessel and Glasgow the master's surname; the master's forename is unknown, so he cannot be identified.

What the notice says
William Glasgow, Cecil County, is listed among letters remaining in the Philadelphia post office.
Evidence and identity limits
Alphabetical postal-letter list, not a roster of residents or an advertisement. The printed long-s glyph in Glasſgow is the f-shaped character that can yield OCR Glafgow; the normalized surname reading is Glasgow. Cecil County immediately follows this entry. This is a distinct issue-page occurrence; no identity link to other Williams is inferred. Postal addressee, not proof of continuous residence, age, occupation, family, or identity across these issues. Identity review (6 October 2026): William Glasgow, Cecil County, Philadelphia letter list 1759. No WikiTree William Glasgow has any documented Maryland or Cecil County presence; the four previously listed Williams are Scottish/Irish baptism or tree profiles, one of which (Glasgow-3326) is documented in Larne in 1772 and 1783. No match above possible.
[b. c. 1735; d. c. 1829] · letter addressee, Cecil CountyWhy this candidate?
Only name + Cecil County. Glasgow-2426 (b. c.1735 'Moneymore', d. c.1829 USA; tree-sourced, no American record) is the only William with any American context, and that context is unproved. Glasgow-4101 (bap. 1733 Dundonald) and Glasgow-4120 (bap. 1723 Irvine) are baptism-only profiles: compatible but nothing points to Maryland. Glasgow-3326 (b. 1730 Kilwaughter) is unlikely: his profile documents him in Larne signing a 1772 petition and in a 1783 Larne will index. MSA's biography of Samuel Glasgow (SC 3520-17195) reports, from Cecil County probate, a William among the children of James Glasgow Sr. (d. 1784) and Ann of Cecil County - but those children were born from c.1749, so that William w

Original inspected; candidates Glasgow-2870 and Glasgow-2871 remain unassigned. No Irish origin or family is stated. Identity review (6 October 2026): John Glasgow signs a 1760 vendue notice for William Graham's creditors (200-acre Susquehanna tract near Shepard's Ferry, Cecil County) and announces a store at Nottingham. The Chester County tax lists show John Glasgow as a West Nottingham freeman in 1760 and as storekeeper there in 1765 and 1767, with the same holding continuing to 1791 and passing to Hugh Glasgow in 1793: this is probably Glasgow-2871 (d. 1792), not the elder Glasgow-2870.
[b. c. 1738; d. 1792-04-03] · signer of creditors' vendue notice; prospective Nottingham storekeeperWhy this candidate?
Independent record chain: Chester County tax index - John Glasgow, West Nottingham, 1760 'Freeman' (the only John in Nottingham that year), 1762-1764 taxed, 1765 'Storekeeper' (50 acres), 1767 'Storekeeper' (50 acres), landholder 50 acres 1768-1786 and 80 acres 1787-1791; then Hugh Glasgow, West Nottingham, 1793-1799, 80 acres. The notice's intention to open a Nottingham store by end of September 1760 is fulfilled by the storekeeper entries; the holding series ends in 1791 and Glasgow-2871 died 3 Apr 1792 in Chester County; WikiTree and Gibson's History of York County make Hugh (b. 1769 Nottingham) his son, and Hugh takes up an 80-acre West Nottingham holding from 1793.

What the notice says
Samuel Glascow is one of two prisoners reported capitally convicted at the Old Bailey; his charge is stealing a bay gelding belonging to Mr Serjeant Haywood.
Evidence and identity limits
Two issues reprint the report that Samuel was capitally convicted for stealing Mr Serjeant Haywood’s bay gelding. The paragraph says Yesterday, but its own news dateline is outside these excerpts; do not derive a trial date from the issue day. Other defendants’ offences and punishments are separate. The existing Old Bailey case association does not identify an Ulster or Pennsylvania ancestor. Identity review (6 October 2026): May 1761 reports that Samuel Glascow was capitally convicted at the Old Bailey for stealing Serjeant Hayward's bay gelding. His own trial testimony describes a Holborn/High Wycombe tradesman. That conflicts with Glasgow-3175 (an Ulster-born Pennsylvania settler), so the London man has no compatible profile.

Evidence and identity limits
The same junior designation, trade and Dublin lane make Glasgow-3932 a probable match to the younger Philip who married Teresa Plunkett in 1768. If the identification is correct, this records an earlier unnamed wife; do not identify her as Teresa or infer parents. The issue supplies a latest date for her death, not an exact day. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal death column (issue of 28 Sep 1765) for Mrs. Glasco, wife of Mr. Philip Glasco junior, watchmaker, Christ-church-lane, Dublin. Philip junior is the younger Dublin watchmaker, who already exists twice on WikiTree: Glasco-147 (the better-connected profile, with wives Braccan-2 and Plunkett-2805) and the project-created duplicate Glasgow-3932, whose live biography has been overwritten with an unrelated 1827 Kilrea Robert Glasgow text. The deceased wife is already modelled as Braccan-2. No new relationship is needed; the action is a merge and data clean-up.
[b. c. 1740; d. ?] · husband of the deceasedWhy this candidate?
The notice's exact designation 'Philip Glasco, jun.', the watchmaking trade and Christ-church-lane agree with the 1768 marriage of 'Phil. Glasco the younger', watchmaker of Christ-church-lane, and with the 1772 Prerogative intestacy index entry 'Philip Glasco, the younger, Dublin, watchmaker' that Glasco-147 is built on (cited on Mangan-824 and Glasco-147). Only one younger Philip Glasco watchmaker existed in Dublin. Glasco-147 (b. c.1740, son of Glasco-146, spouses Braccan-2 and Plunkett-2805, children Glasco-149/150/169/174) and Glasgow-3932 (Phillip, b. before 1750, Co.

Braccan-2 ('Mary Braccan / Glasco', b. before 1747, d. 1765, spouse of Glasco-147) is the WikiTree profile created for this woman. Her only cited source is the Faulkner's Dublin Journal transcription of this same death. The notice identifies her only as the wife of Philip Glasco junior, so matching her to this profile is secure as a role match. However, the given name and maiden name on the profile are not supported. The RC baptism of Phil Glascoe at SS Michael & John, Dublin, in 1762 (DU-RC-BA-46402, quoted on Braccan-1) names the father Phil Glascoe and the mother only as 'Mary [nr]', and lists Mary Braccan as SPONSOR 2.

What the notice says
John Glasgow near Oxford is listed among people taking in subscriptions for De Jure Regni; advertisement dated 22 May 1766.
Evidence and identity limits
The notice explicitly says subscriptions are taken in by the named people: John is a listed subscription collector/agent, not a proved paying subscriber. Oxford is preserved without assigning a modern jurisdiction; locality comparison is qualified. The earlier Nottingham/Chester County/near-Oxford entries fit Glasgow-2870 as a probable candidate; Glasgow-2871 remains possible.

A postal list does not prove the addressee alive: the elder’s recorded May 1769 death does not absolutely exclude posthumous mail in 1771. No parent, spouse or child is proved by these notices. Identity review (6 October 2026): John Glasgow 'near Oxford' is one of the agents taking subscriptions for De Jure Regni (May 1766). Both the West Nottingham storekeeper (probably Glasgow-2871) and an East Nottingham landholder John (taxed 1768-1775) lived near Oxford, so identity stays possible.
[b. c. 1738; d. 1792-04-03] · local subscription agent for De Jure Regni, near OxfordWhy this candidate?
A subscription agent is typically a storekeeper or other local man of business, which favours the West Nottingham storekeeper John (taxed storekeeper 1765 and 1767; probably Glasgow-2871). But the Chester County tax index also has a John Glascow/Glasgow landholder in East Nottingham 1768-1775, and East Nottingham adjoins Oxford, so 'near Oxford' does not single out the West Nottingham man. Glasgow-2870 remains a possible namesake without distinguishing evidence.

What the notice says
A partnership notice for the Incle Manufactory in Glasgow states that George Glasgow, merchant there, had previously given up management; future business is to be carried on under Archibald Ingram, Thomas Dunmoor and Co.
Evidence and identity limits
Reported prior management withdrawal, not a stated withdrawal day, completed dissolution or family relationship. Same name and Glasgow mercantile context permit a provisional comparison with the land notices, without proving personal continuity. One provisional merchant/property study consolidates the exact named Nethermains subject and compatible Glasgow partnership context, retaining separate sale stages. Compatible profiles remain possible. George-3312’s recorded 1768 death does not exclude later reprints or past-tense property references; no continuity of active life, ownership, completed sale or family is proved. The Manchester inventor and officers remain separate. Identity review (6 October 2026): Dec 1767 partnership notice: George Glasgow, merchant in Glasgow, had given up management of the Incle Manufactory. He is the George Glasgow of Nethermains (Glasgow-3312), probable.

Same designation ('George Glasgow, merchant' in Glasgow) as the June 1768 Nethermains sale six months later. Name + unique estate designation + place + kin context agree. (1) The 1768 sale notice calls the owner of Nether-Mains, Nethermains Dean and Nethermains Niven at Kilwinning 'George Glasgow, merchant in Glasgow'; the 1777 judicial-sale notices call him 'George Glasgow of Nether Mains'. (2) The Glasgow Commissariot register (inspected via archive.org OCR) confirms on 27 June 1768 the testament of 'Margaret [Buchanan], wife of George Glasgow, of Nethermains, daughter of William B., of Drumakill' - the same designation, and Glasgow-3312 is already married on WikiTree to Margaret Buchanan

What the notice says
“The Lady Forbes, of Glasgow, William Glasgow, Master, with Rum for Waterford, was drove on Shore near Sutton, but the Crew were saved.”
Evidence and identity limits
William Glasgow is explicitly the master’s personal name; “of Glasgow” separately describes the vessel. Personal origin, age and family are unstated. No identification with the unnamed Glasgow captain of the brig William in 1796 is justified. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal 23 Jan 1768: the Lady Forbes, of Glasgow, William Glasgow master, carrying rum for Waterford, was driven ashore near Sutton and the crew were saved. The master is a real named William Glasgow. At least a dozen compatible William Glasgow profiles exist and nothing in the notice prefers one, so no identification is made.

What the notice says
The marriage column names Mr. Phil. Glasco the younger, of Christ-church-lane, watchmaker, and Miss Teresa Plunkett of Church-street.
Evidence and identity limits
The rare name, younger designation, trade, address and bride agree with the existing Philip junior evidence draft and compatible profile Glasgow-3932. This original corroborates the marriage reported in the Public Gazetteer extraction dated 17 September 1768; it does not itself supply that exact wedding date or prove his father. Keep him separate from the elder Philip and the later surname-only watchmaker. OCR Glafco represents printed Glasco. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal 20 Sep 1768 marriage of Mr. Phil. Glasco the younger, watchmaker of Christ-church-lane, to Miss Teresa Plunkett of Church-street. Both people already exist and are already linked as spouses on WikiTree: Glasco-147 and Plunkett-2805. Glasgow-3932 is a duplicate of the groom.
The rare name, 'the younger', the watchmaking trade, Christ-church-lane and the bride all agree. Glasco-147 is already married on WikiTree to Plunkett-2805 (Teresa Plunkett), whose biography cites the 1768 Public Gazetteer extraction of this marriage. Glasco-147 is defined by the 1772 intestacy of 'Philip Glasco, the younger, Dublin, watchmaker'. Glasgow-3932 is the same man (duplicate, no spouse, biography now overwritten with an unrelated Kilrea text). See group 1050029120.
Plunkett-2805 (Teresa Plunkett / Glasco, b. before 1750, Co. Dublin, d. after 1771, spouse Glasco-147, child Glasco-174) was created from this marriage. Her biography quotes the Public Gazetteer: 'Mr. Philip Glasco Jnr of Christchurch-yard, Watchmaker, to the agreeable Miss Teresa Plunkett of Church-street'. The name, the street and the groom all agree, and no other Teresa Plunkett of the period exists on WikiTree (Plunkett-829, b. 1765 Westmeath, is too young and from a different place).

Identity review (6 October 2026): Samuel Glasgow is a boundary landowner in a February 1770 Whitpain Township execution-sale notice (late Isaac Williams's estate). A 1769 Philadelphia County proprietary tax list (transcription) independently places a Samuel Glascow in Whitpain, confirming a resident there; no WikiTree Samuel has any eastern-Pennsylvania record, so the best fit, Glasgow-3175, stays only possible.

Postal-office and address context retained; an addressee is not proof of residence, letter collection, occupation, household or continued life. Nearby addressees and their localities are separate. The original heading says Charles-Town, Maryland, not Anne Arundel County. Sydney George is a separate next addressee; Cecil County accompanies Sydney, not a newly established address for William. The earlier Nottingham/Chester County/near-Oxford entries fit Glasgow-2870 as a probable candidate; Glasgow-2871 remains possible. This is a qualified regional documentary cluster, potentially more than one John. A postal list does not prove the addressee alive: the elder’s recorded May 1769 death does not absolutely exclude posthumous mail in 1771. No parent, spouse or child is proved by these notices. Identity review (6 October 2026): Charles-Town (Cecil County), Maryland letter list, 1 October 1771: John Glasgow in West Nottingham, Chester County, and a separate William Glasgow. Two Johns were taxed in West Nottingham in 1771 (landholder and inmate), so John is only possibly Glasgow-2871; Glasgow-2870 (d. 1769) is now unlikely.

The notice offers one guinea for discovery within the city/liberties of listed persons previously banished or bound to leave.

Neither existing Wiki Tree profile is identified. The notice explicitly names Robert’s father Andrew. Compatible existing Robert and Andrew profiles remain possible assignments only.

[b. 1735-11-11; d. 1788-05-19] · letter addressee, Charlestown SCWhy this candidate?
Glasgow-804 (b. 11 Nov 1735 Ayr; d. 19 May 1788 Newberry SC) has a 1769 South Carolina passenger-list index entry, so he was in the colony in 1775: compatible, no bridge. Glasgow-1144 (b. 1731 Kilwaughter; d. c.1793 Newberry) has children born in County Antrim in 1772, 1773 and 1775 on his own profile, so he was most likely still in Ireland in August 1775 - unlikely (letters can await an expected immigrant, so not excluded). Glasgow-634 was in North Carolina (weak).

What the notice says
A Lancaster Goal notice dated 13 October says John M’Connel, about 35, imprisoned as a suspected runaway servant, claims to belong to William Glascoe in Maryland, about forty miles from Baltimore.
Evidence and identity limits
William is the attributed master, not the jailed man. John Carson belongs to a separate prisoner’s account. No link to the 1760 defendant, a shipmaster, or a family is proved. Identity review (6 October 2026): Lancaster jail notice, October 1775: John M'Connel, a suspected runaway servant, claims to belong to William Glascoe in Maryland, about forty miles from Baltimore. William is an attributed master only; no WikiTree William Glasgow/Glascoe has any Maryland record. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: William Glascoe.

William Glasgow, tenant and co-possessor with William Wilson of Cleugh-head and Clovenfordsyke, is named in a planned land-sale notice at John’s coffee-house, Edinburgh, for 28 August 1776, by adjournment.

William Glasgow is explicitly tenant and co-possessor with William Wilson, not a buyer, landlord or proved relative. West Calder and the named farms are land context. Planned roup dates are not completed sales. Nine original issues preserve an initial notice and its adjournment. No existing profile is identified. Glasgow-1463 is a weak name/region comparison with a broad uncertain before-1816 birth bound; no West Calder tenancy bridge.

What the notice says
John Glascow is appointed to provide for distressed families of Associators in actual service by the Chester County Committee of Inspection and Observation, in a resolution dated 13 August 1776.
Evidence and identity limits
Full heading and roster inspected. William Evans is chairman. This establishes an appointment, not that John was a soldier, Associator, recipient or relative of anyone listed. Same-name/county context with the 1773 land notice is compatible, but personal identity across the two events is unproved. Identity review (6 October 2026): John Glascow is appointed (13 Aug 1776) by the Chester County Committee of Inspection to provide for distressed families of Associators. Several Johns were taxed in Chester County in 1775-76 (West Nottingham landholder, East Nottingham landholder, East Bradford freeman), so the appointee is only possibly the West Nottingham man, Glasgow-2871.
[b. c. 1738; d. 1792-04-03] · committee appointee for relief of Associators' families, Chester CountyWhy this candidate?
Chester County tax index, 1775-76: John Glascow, West Nottingham, 50 acres, landholder (1775, 1776) - probably Glasgow-2871; John Glasgow, East Nottingham, 50 acres, landholder (1775); John Glascow, East Bradford, freeman (1776). Such appointments went to established local householders, which favours a landholder, but two landholding Johns existed and the notice gives no township. Glasgow-4027 (Moneymore John) was probably the West Nottingham inmate and later of Peters Twp, Cumberland Co. (will 1779): weak.

A notice dated Baltimore, 19 October 1777, signed Joseph Ford, orders absent soldiers of the First Maryland Regiment, including Samuel Glasgow, to return by 10 November. It threatens apprehension and punishment as deserters and offers influence toward pardons.
Evidence and identity limits
Samuel appears in the final unassigned group. Capt. Murray’s company belongs to William Wood, Thomas Kenady and William Langley immediately before the dash. The notice is dated 19 October 1777, sets 10 November as rendezvous, threatens punishment for failure and offers influence toward pardons. No adjudicated desertion, return, punishment, actual pardon or 1761 military commutation is proved. Three archive page URLs preserve one reprinted notice, including two scans labelled 23 October. Glasgow-1134 is the strongest contextual candidate through his estimated Cecil County birth; service identity remains possible, not proved. The other American candidates remain compatible. Identity review (6 October 2026): Baltimore notice of 19 Oct 1777 (Joseph Ford) ordering absent First Maryland Regiment soldiers, including Samuel Glasgow, to return by 10 November. The Maryland State Archives' biography of Samuel Glasgow (SC 3520-17195) documents exactly this soldier: born Cecil County c.1753-54, enlisted 4th Company, First Maryland, 20 May 1776, captured at Brooklyn, re-enlisted as corporal, sergeant 1777, deserted at Morristown 12 July 1777. MSA tentatively places him in the Cecil County family that WikiTree has under Glasgow-2868, whose son Samuel is Glasgow-1134; that WikiTree match remains possible.

Soldier identity (not a WikiTree profile) is strong: the MSA Biographical Series entry for Samuel Glasgow, First Maryland Regiment (private 1776, corporal 1776, sergeant 1777), records his desertion from camp at Morristown on 12 July 1777 and a deserter advertisement (Maryland Journal, December 1777) giving his birth in Cecil County 1753/54 - the same man as this notice's absent Samuel of the First Maryland. The MSA biography says he 'may have been' the Samuel son of Ann and James Glasgow Sr. (d. 1784) of Cecil County, with siblings Ezekiel (d. 1780), Adam (d. 1782-83), James, Elizabeth Mary, William and Hannah - which is the WikiTree family of Glasgow-2868 and Hartshorne-320 (children 1134

What the notice says
James Glasgow and Andrew Doyle, styled chairmen, are named among persons examined in the Hackman/Miss Ray affair; Glasgow reportedly removed the pistol and gave it to Halliburton.
Evidence and identity limits
Further issue reprinting the Hackman/Miss Ray witness account. James and Andrew Doyle are styled chairmen; James reportedly removed the pistol and handed it to Halliburton. Newspaper testimony report, not a separate trial verdict or family identity. Chairmen is not expanded into a meeting role. Identity review (6 October 2026): April 1779 reports of the Hackman/Martha Ray shooting name James Glasgow, chairman (sedan-chair carrier), who took the pistol and handed it to Halliburton. A London chairman with no identifying detail; no WikiTree profile can be assigned.

Evidence and identity limits
Original inspected. Same address-change advertisement, not an independent family statement. Thomas candidates remain compatible but unassigned. Identity review (6 October 2026): A repeated 1779–80 Freeman's Journal advertisement: Glasco, watch and clock maker, moves from Christ-Church-lane to 20 Ormond Quay. Two other records point to Thomas Glasco as the advertiser: a July 1779 marriage of '[Thomas] Glasco of Christchurch-lane, watchmaker' to Miss Hynes of Ormond-quay (Saunders's News-Letter extraction; forename supplied by the extractor), and Watson's 1783 directory entry 'Glasco, Thomas, Watch maker, 20 Ormond quay'. Which WikiTree Thomas he is remains unproved.
[b. c. 1753; d. ?] · advertiserWhy this candidate?
Documentary identity, graded probable: the same trade, the move to exactly 20 Ormond Quay in Oct 1779, and Watson's 1783 listing of Thomas Glasco, watch maker, at 20 Ormond quay (same house number, four years later) identify the advertiser as Thomas Glasco. The July 1779 marriage of a Christchurch-lane watchmaker Glasco to Miss Hynes of Ormond-quay explains the move to Ormond Quay.

What the notice says
Michael Rogers, for assaulting the Rev. Manasses Glasco, ordered to pay ten guineas, to be distributed in public charities by the prosecutor.
Evidence and identity limits
The original directly supports the clerical title Rev. for Manasses Glasco in 1780. Glasco-170 is a probable match to the Monkstown family account; his recorded birth BEFORE 1766 is a boundary, not a 1766 birth. The notice names no relatives or parish appointment. No relationship is upgraded. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal 12 Dec 1780 court report: Michael Rogers was fined ten guineas for assaulting the Rev. Manasses Glasco. The only Manasses Glasco or Glasgow on WikiTree is Glasco-170 (Rev. Manasses, said to be assistant curate of Monkstown, died before his widow Susanna remarried in June 1784), and the identity is now graded strong. The notice names no kin.
[b. before 1766; d. before 1784] · assault victim (clergyman)Why this candidate?
The full name is unique in the surname study and the clerical title fits: duplicate searches for Manasses Glasco, Manasses Glasgow and Manasseh Glasgow return only Glasco-170. The YouWho Dowling family account calls Manasses Glasco assistant curate of Monkstown and says his widow Susanna married Dionysius Dowling at Monkstown in June 1784. The profile also cites M. Wade Mahon's note of a 'Rev. Mr Glasco' who was first assistant at a Blackrock school and advertised for boarders in 1782. A Rev. Manasses Glasco in Dublin in Dec 1780 fits all of this, and no rival Manasses exists. The match is strong for the person; it does not validate the profile's other claims. Two caveats.

What the notice says
James Glasgow, at Christiana Bridge in Newcastle county, advertises for private sale the former Charles Whitlock tanyard in the borough of Wilmington; notice dated 5 August 1782.
Evidence and identity limits
Sixteen issues repeat one private-sale advertisement dated 5 August 1782. James is the signed advertiser/contact; ownership, tanning occupation, completed sale, age and kinship are not proved. Printed places are borough of Wilmington and Christiana Bridge, Newcastle county; Delaware identification is a geographical interpretation, not the Philadelphia paper’s locality. The signed Wilmington/Christiana Bridge advertiser remains unidentified. Two Cecil County chronological/regional James profiles are compatible, without a property or individual bridge. The North Carolina secretary is another adult namesake but has a different documentary region; do not merge him solely because Wilmington is also a North Carolina place. Identity review (6 October 2026): James Glasgow 'at Christiana Bridge in Newcastle county' advertises (5 Aug 1782, sixteen insertions) the former Charles Whitlock tanyard in Wilmington. No profile is documented in New Castle County; the Cecil County James (Glasgow-2868) and his son (Glasgow-3290) are possible regional namesakes; the North Carolina Secretary of State (Glasgow-634) is unlikely because he was holding office and living in North Carolina at the time.
[b. 1720-02-14; d. c. 1784] · advertiser/contact for sale of a Wilmington tanyard, living at Christiana BridgeWhy this candidate?
The notice places the advertiser at Christiana Bridge, New Castle County (Delaware), about 10 miles from the Cecil County, Maryland, home of Glasgow-2868 (James, d. c.1784 guess; wife Ann Hartshorne) and his son Glasgow-3290 (James, b. c.1758 Cecil, d. 1789). Both are regional fits without any property, tanning or Christiana bridge; a 1785 notice by the same-named Christiana Bridge advertiser (lane us-1785-1799) sits awkwardly with 2868's guessed 1784 death and slightly favours the younger James (3290) if they are one advertiser. Glasgow-634 is unlikely: he was serving continuously as North Carolina's Secretary of State (1777-1798) and was a Dobbs County landholder - a simultaneous different

What the notice says
James Glasgow, living at Christiana Bridge, signs a notice dated 12 March 1785 offering a complete tanyard in the borough of Wilmington, State of Delaware, then in the tenure of Thomas Glenn.
Evidence and identity limits
Three issues reprint this separate 1785 notice. The printed Delaware designation and Thomas Glenn occupancy are explicit. Advertiser is not necessarily owner or tanner; no completed sale or identity of this plot with the former Whitlock property in 1782 is proved. Glasgow-2868’s estimated c.1784 death is a chronology tension requiring source verification, not an exact exclusion. Identity review (6 October 2026): James Glasgow, living at Christiana Bridge (New Castle County, Delaware), advertised a Wilmington tanyard then occupied by Thomas Glenn in March 1785. He is very likely the same man as the 1782 Christiana Bridge advertiser of the former Whitlock tanyard, but no WikiTree profile can be identified: Glasgow-3290 is a possible candidate only, and Glasgow-2868 and Glasgow-634 conflict on chronology or residence.
[b. c. 1758; d. c. 1789] · advertiser of tanyard, resident at Christiana BridgeWhy this candidate?
The notice gives only the name, the residence 'living at Christiana Bridge' and a property in the borough of Wilmington, Delaware, held by Thomas Glenn. The same name and residence appear in the 1782 notice for the former Charles Whitlock tanyard in Wilmington (local findings for Glasgow-2868 and Glasgow-3290), so the two advertisements very probably refer to one Christiana Bridge man. Glasgow-3290 (James, b. 1758 Cecil County, d. 1789, son of Glasgow-2868 and Hartshorne-320) was alive in 1785 and belongs to a family recorded in neighbouring Cecil County, Maryland, about 10 miles from Christiana Bridge.

What the notice says
Robert Glasgow, formerly a hospital mate in the West Indies, is announced for appointment as surgeon to the forces on St Vincent.
Evidence and identity limits
Appointment notice. It proves a named Robert Glasgow formerly served as hospital mate in the West Indies and was appointed surgeon to forces on St Vincent; it gives no age, relatives, or birth origin. Glasgow-1076 is a probable candidate for the exact Montgreenan designation, consistent with a prior independently reviewed 1802 record. The 1785 surgeon and 1793 Loudoun doctor are compatible earlier contexts; their identity with him is inferred, not explicitly linked. No family relationship is proved. Identity review (6 October 2026): 1785 Times notice: Robert Glasgow, formerly hospital mate in the West Indies, appointed surgeon to the forces on St Vincent. He is the army surgeon of Johnston's Roll, and probably the 'Dr Robert Glasgow' who made a St Vincent fortune and bought Montgreenan (Glasgow-1076).
[b. before 1747-10-15; d. 1827-04-19] · surgeon to the forces, St Vincent (formerly hospital mate, West Indies)Why this candidate?
Several independent agreements. (1) The St Andrews Biographical Register, from Johnston's Roll of Commissioned Officers in the Medical Service no. 1067, gives Robert Glasgow M.A. and M.D. 6 Dec 1779, possibly an Edinburgh medical student 1767-70, Hospital Mate in the West Indies before 1785, Surgeon Staff St Vincent 1785, half-pay apothecary 1791, alive to at least 1825.

What the notice says
A notice dated North Susquehanna hundred, Cecil county, Maryland, 10 February 1786 offers a 260-acre plantation for public vendue on 10 March, with immediate possession given by Robert Glasgow and Joshua Hartshorn.
Evidence and identity limits
Two issues repeat one proposed sale. Robert’s precise role is unstated: owner, agent or another participant is not resolved. No completed sale or relationship to Hartshorn is proved. Glasgow-395 is the strongest bounded regional/chronological lead, with no plantation, Hartshorn or personal identity bridge. Glasgow-2425 remains a weak possible namesake. Glasgow-1143’s estimated c. 1772 death is a material chronology tension, not a certain exclusion without its underlying source. No joining to the Scottish Roberts is warranted. Identity review (6 October 2026): Robert Glasgow and Joshua Hartshorn were to give possession of a 260-acre plantation in North Susquehanna Hundred, Cecil County, Maryland, offered at vendue in March 1786. Neither man can be identified on WikiTree. The joint Glasgow–Hartshorn role is a research lead pointing to the Cecil County family of James Glasgow (Glasgow-2868) and Ann Hartshorne (Hartshorne-320), but it is not a relationship. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Joshua Hartshorn.
[b. c. 1750; d. c. 1800] · co-party giving possession of a Cecil County plantation offered for public vendueWhy this candidate?
The notice gives only the name, Cecil County (North Susquehanna Hundred) and a joint role with Joshua Hartshorn. It does not say whether he was owner, executor or agent. Glasgow-395 (Robert, c.1750–c.1800, wife Apphia Moores, named in an 1837 Baltimore court notice) has the right age and a Maryland family context, but his profile records no Cecil County residence, land or Hartshorn link, so he stays possible. The USGenWeb transcription of the 1790 Maryland census index lists no Robert Glasgow head of household in Cecil or Harford County (Cecil has only Jonathan Glasgow). That absence is not an exclusion, but it gives no support. Glasgow-2425 (c.1724 Ireland, death 'USA') is a name-only possi

The 1793 Omagh contact is probably the same man. Glasgow-3944 is the leading compatible profile, with surviving alternatives; no profile identity, parent or new spouse attachment is proved. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal 5 Sep 1786 marriage: Mr. James Glasco of Omagh, publican, aged 61, to Miss Jane Murray of the same place, aged 16.

Evidence and identity limits
Newbern report dated 20 December 1787, printed 7 January 1788. W. is the roster’s Masonic style, not an inferred first-name initial. Membership and office are reported; no family is supplied. Glasgow-634 is a probable candidate for the explicit North Carolina Secretary of State records, matching the existing sourced public study. The Masonic officer, Dobbs candidate, Contentney and Raleigh addressee records form a compatible regional cluster; cross-record identity is inferred and remains qualified. Name, titles and locality do not prove spouse, parents or children. Identity review (6 October 2026): A Newbern report of 20 December 1787 lists James Glasgow, of Kingston Lodge No. 3, as Grand Secretary among the North Carolina Grand Lodge officers elected at Tarborough. Kingston (Kinston) was the Dobbs County seat where the Secretary of State lived 1777–81, so this is a probable match to Glasgow-634. No family is stated.
[b. c. 1735; d. 1819-11-17] · Grand Secretary, North Carolina Grand Lodge; member of Kingston Lodge No. 3 (Dec 1787)Why this candidate?
The notice ties James Glasgow to Kingston Lodge No. 3. Kingston is the eighteenth-century name of Kinston, the Dobbs County seat. Glasgow-634 lived at Harmony Hall in Kinston from 1777 to 1781, and otherwise on Dobbs County plantations. NCpedia records that he joined the Masonic order in 1768 at 'the First Lodge in Pitt County'. The independent agreements are lodge locality, residence, a known Masonic membership and a state-level leadership role fitting a sitting state officer. No officer roster from the Grand Lodge's own proceedings was found to confirm it independently, so the grade is probable rather than strong.

Glasgow-634's home from 1765 until 1790 was the Fairfield plantation on Contentnea Creek, a gift from his father-in-law Col. Abraham Sheppard 'at Contentnea' (NCpedia; WikiTree biography). Newbern was the regional post office. Name, specific home locality and date agree, and no rival NC James exists. The entry is a postal address, not a residence statement, so it is graded probable.

What the notice says
William Glasgow is named as master of the Falmouth, from Baltimore, in an Amsterdam-arrivals entry dated 10 June 1787, printed in a newspaper issue of 6 May 1788.
Evidence and identity limits
Provider labels the collection Poulson’s American Daily Advertiser; the contemporary masthead title has not been independently checked. The heading explicitly covers Amsterdam arrivals in 1787. June 10 is the listed 1787 arrival date; 6 May 1788 is the later newspaper issue date. Falmouth is the vessel, Baltimore its listed origin, and William Glasgow its named master. Another entry names a vessel Glasgow with Thomas Johnson as master; that is not a Glasgow surname person. Printed long-s is normalized to s. The named master is a documented subject. Glasgow-3324, the Larne maritime candidate, is possible by name, age and occupation only. No record here links him to Larne, the Belfast brig William, the Ann or a family. Do not combine those masters solely by name. Identity review (6 October 2026): An Amsterdam-arrivals list dated 10 June 1787, printed in May 1788, names William Glasgow as master of the Falmouth from Baltimore. He cannot be identified on WikiTree. The Larne-born William (Glasgow-3324) is a possible namesake by name, age and the later shipmaster lead only.
[b. c. 1763; d. c. 1816] · master of the Falmouth, from Baltimore, arrived Amsterdam 1787Why this candidate?
The entry gives the forename, the vessel (Falmouth), its origin (Baltimore) and the destination (Amsterdam), with no residence or kin. Glasgow-3324 (William, Larne, c.1763–1816) would have been about 24. A Wm. Glasgow commanded the Belfast brig William on European voyages (Rotterdam, Oporto, Bordeaux) in 1792–1799, according to his local findings, but that captain is not proved to be him, and nothing links either to a Baltimore vessel. The other William profiles of suitable age are Scottish or Irish baptisms with no seafaring record (Glasgow-1430, 1231, 1223, 1124, 1320, 1385, 2915, 3326, 4139).

What the notice says
A Newbern report dated 16 April 1788 lists James Glasgow among Dobbs County candidates supposed to favor the federal constitution for the Hillsborough convention.
Evidence and identity limits
Candidate and supposed political stance are the report’s language. No election victory is proved. Four issues reprint the same report; they are one event, not independent confirmations. Provider collection label retained; contemporary masthead title has not been independently checked. Glasgow-634 is a probable candidate for the explicit North Carolina Secretary of State records, matching the existing sourced public study. The Masonic officer, Dobbs candidate, Contentney and Raleigh addressee records form a compatible regional cluster; cross-record identity is inferred and remains qualified. Name, titles and locality do not prove spouse, parents or children. Identity review (6 October 2026): A Newbern report of 16 April 1788 lists James Glasgow among the Dobbs County candidates supposed to favour the federal Constitution for the Hillsborough convention.

[b. c. 1735; d. 1819-11-17] · Dobbs County candidate, supposed Federalist, for the 1788 Hillsborough conventionWhy this candidate?
Dobbs County was Glasgow-634's county of residence in 1788 (NCpedia), and he was one of its leading officeholders and largest landowners. The CSAC account of the 1788 Dobbs election names Benjamin Sheppard as a Federalist candidate. The Sheppards were the family of Glasgow's wife Pherebe, which is consistent with Glasgow on the same slate, though the article does not name him. County, name, political prominence and period agree. The report gives the candidacy only, not election or attendance.

What the notice says
A Fayetteville Grand Lodge report names James Glasgow, Esq., as elected Grand Senior Warden for the ensuing year.
Evidence and identity limits
The report says the lodge met on the 18th ultimo; its precise meeting date needs the complete dated report header or minutes. The two papers reprint one appointment report, not independent elections. Masonic role is distinct from Secretary of State. Glasgow-634 is a probable candidate for the explicit North Carolina Secretary of State records, matching the existing sourced public study.

[b. c. 1735; d. 1819-11-17] · Grand Senior Warden, North Carolina Grand Lodge (elected Nov 1788, Fayetteville)Why this candidate?
The election belongs to a sequence of North Carolina Grand Lodge offices held by a James Glasgow: Grand Secretary in December 1787, with the Kingston Lodge link to Glasgow-634's Kinston residence; Grand Senior Warden in November 1788; Deputy Grand Master in December 1789. The 1788 Grand Lodge met at Fayetteville while the General Assembly was sitting there, and the Secretary of State attended the Assembly by office. The 'Esq.' style fits his rank. These agreements are independent of each other, but no Grand Lodge minutes were inspected.

What the notice says
James Glasgow, Esq., Edinburgh, appears in the Mid-Lothian game-duty list of certificates issued since 8 September 1789.
Evidence and identity limits
Entry reads Glasgow, James, Esq; Edinburgh. The list concerns issued game certificates, not a dated shooting event or a family relationship. Date scope is the list heading, not an exact certificate date. The clipping has a disclosed contrast adjustment, without reconstruction. Identity review (6 October 2026): Dec 1789 Mid-Lothian game-certificate list: 'Glasgow, James, Esq; Edinburgh'. Best lead is James Glasgow (Glasgow-1142), St Vincent planter and brother of Robert of Montgreenan, who died in Calder parish near Edinburgh, but this is unproved.
[b. 1750-03-18; d. c. 1803] · game-certificate holder (gentleman)Why this candidate?
'Esq.' and a Mid-Lothian game certificate imply a landed or monied gentleman. Paterson says James, brother of Robert Glasgow of Mountgreenan, 'went to St Vincent's. He died in the parish of Calder, near Edinburgh, unmarried' - a returned planter living near Edinburgh fits the description, and Robert's 1803 trust names James's natural sons. That is Glasgow-1142 (bapt. Dalry 1750; d.1803). But nothing places him in Edinburgh in 1789. The earlier candidates have nothing behind them: 4124 (Saltoun mariner/surgeon 1733), 3944 (no data), 2988 and 1024 (Ireland) - weak. Glasgow-2848 (bapt. 1750 West Calder, son of John) is another Calder-area possibility. Williamson's 1790 Edinburgh directory has n

What the notice says
Samuel Glasgow is listed under Washington in the names of Pennsylvania justices of the peace in commission on 1 September 1791.
Evidence and identity limits
The separate saved heading establishes office and date. Glasgow-3175 is the strongest contextual candidate through his uncertain Hanover Township, Washington County death locality. Identity, tenure and family are not proved. Identity review (6 October 2026): Samuel Glasgow is listed under Washington County among Pennsylvania justices of the peace in commission on 1 September 1791. County records identify him as Samuel Glasgow, Esquire, of Hanover Township: commissioned 7 May 1788, previously a Peters Township wheelwright, and still a JP in the 1800 Hanover assessment. Glasgow-3175 (died 1801, Hanover Township) is the better candidate, but Glasgow-1134 (later of Hanover, Beaver County) has not been excluded, so the match stays possible.
[b. c. 1740; d. c. 1801] · justice of the peace in commission, Washington County, Pennsylvania, 1791Why this candidate?
Independent county records fix the office-holder's identity and locality. Crumrine's History of Washington County (1882) lists 'Hon. Samuel Glasgow, commissioned May 7, 1788' among county justices, and puts him first in the Hanover Township justices' list ('Samuel Glasgow, May 7, 1788'). The 1800 Hanover Township assessment, quoted by Crumrine, lists 'Samuel Glasgow, justice of the peace'. The county slave register, as transcribed by Afrolumens, records Samuel Glasgow of Peters Township, wheelwright, in 1782, 'Samule Glasgow Esquire of Hanover township' on 2 June 1792, and Hanover through the 1800 septennial census.

Evidence and identity limits
Candidate Glasgow-2915; no father or wife in notice. Identity review (6 October 2026): Northern Star 23 and 30 Jan 1793: William Glasgow, delegate for Kildress (Co. Tyrone), later chairman, at the meeting of 16 Jan 1793. He is an adult of the Kildress/Cookstown district. Glasgow-2915 (William of Cookstown, wife from Ballynasollus, Kildress) remains the leading but only possible profile. The notice names no relatives.
[b. c. 1760; d. ?] · delegate and chairman of a parish meetingWhy this candidate?
The notice establishes an adult William Glasgow acting for Kildress parish in Jan 1793. Glasgow-2915 (William, reported b. 1760, died Cookstown; spouse Mitchell-48576, Margaret Mitchell 'of Ballynasollus, Kildress'; sons born 1799 Tyrone, 1804, and 1815 at Killycurragh, Derryloran) fits the age and the Kildress/Derryloran district. However, his family links rest on a MyHeritage tree, and the project's findings say no primary record yet proves them. The 1796 Flax Growers' list for Tyrone has only one William of the surname: 'Glasco, William, Derryloran' (the parish next to Kildress). That fits a local William in the 1790s, but it is not in Kildress itself and does not bridge to any profile. O

The original reports an embargo, not capture of the William. The account does not explicitly say whether this vessel was among those detained after departure.

What the notice says
John Glasgow, care of William Brown, Esq., is an addressee in the Carlisle post-office list headed 1 January 1793.
Evidence and identity limits
Care of is a mailing direction, not kinship, residence, occupation or proof the addressee was alive. Glasgow-2871 remains another weak Pennsylvania regional comparison, with recorded 1792 death allowing possible posthumous mail. Identity remains unresolved. Compatible candidates have chronology only, without an individual place, occupation or family bridge. These three John contexts may involve different men; the two Allegheny reprints are one list. Identity review (6 October 2026): A Carlisle post-office list headed 1 January 1793 includes letters for John Glasgow, care of William Brown, Esq. No WikiTree profile can be identified. Cumberland County-born John Glasgow (Glasgow-3726) is a newly noted regional possibility; the earlier namesake comparisons are weak or unlikely.
[b. 1764-03-06; d. 1833-08-29] · addressee, Carlisle post office, care of William Brown, Esq. (Jan 1793)Why this candidate?
The entry gives only the name and a care-of mailing direction ('care of William Brown, Esq.'). It states no residence, occupation or kin. Carlisle is the Cumberland County seat. Glasgow-3726 (John, b. 6 March 1764 Cumberland, Pennsylvania; d. 1833 Madison County, Kentucky, intestate) is the only WikiTree John recorded as born in Cumberland County and would have been 28. The match is name, county and age only, so it is possible. Glasgow-2871 (John, c.1738–3 April 1792, merchant of West Nottingham, buried at Rising Sun, Maryland) died nine months before the list. Mail can outlive its addressee, but his south-eastern Chester/York/Cecil locality offers no Carlisle link, so he is unlikely. Glasgo

What the notice says
Dr Robert Glasgow at Loudoun is listed among subscribers after an Ayrshire heritors’ meeting.
Evidence and identity limits
The issue is dated 9 April 1793; the original does not establish the meeting date or that the listed assessment was paid. Loudoun is printed as the person’s location/designation. Glasgow-1076 is a probable candidate for the exact Montgreenan designation, consistent with a prior independently reviewed 1802 record. The 1785 surgeon and 1793 Loudoun doctor are compatible earlier contexts; their identity with him is inferred, not explicitly linked. No family relationship is proved. Identity review (6 October 2026): April 1793 Ayrshire heritors' subscription list: 'Dr Robert Glasgow at Loudoun'. Probably Dr Robert Glasgow, later of Montgreenan (Glasgow-1076), the year before he bought Montgreenan.
[b. before 1747-10-15; d. 1827-04-19] · Ayrshire heritor / subscriberWhy this candidate?
Name + 'Dr' + Ayrshire landed status + date. The subscribers are Ayrshire heritors paying 'in lieu of their assessments by valuation', so Dr Robert held valued land in Ayrshire in 1793. Robert Glasgow of Montgreenan was a physician (UCL LBS 'Dr Robert Glasgow'; Montgreenan histories 'the doctor') who had made a St Vincent fortune, and Paterson says he bought Mountgreenan from John Bowman in 1794. The other Dr Robert in the family, his father Robert-1075 (surgeon at Kilbirnie), died in 1766. No other Dr Robert Glasgow is known in Ayrshire in 1793.

The 11 and 18 May copies carry the same maintained notice reading; the 25 May copy adds a sailing delay and remains distinct. All profile candidates are possible, with no proved connection.

What the notice says
For Newcastle and Philadelphia: the Hope, master Abner Lowell; freight or passage contact Mr. James Glasco, Omagh. Notice dated Londonderry, 25 April 1793, signed Robert Burnside. The sailing is put off until the 25th instant.
Evidence and identity limits
Named Omagh business contact, probably the 1786 publican. He is not stated to be a passenger or emigrant. The 11 and 18 May copies carry the same maintained notice reading; the 25 May copy adds a sailing delay and remains distinct. All profile candidates are possible, with no proved connection. Identity review (6 October 2026): Northern Star 25 May 1793: a repeat of the Hope advertisement with the sailing put off; contact still Mr. James Glasco, Omagh.

Shipping intelligence names William Glasgow as master of the Jean, from Belfast, arrived safe at Oporto on the 5th instant and expected ready to sail in twenty-one days.
Evidence and identity limits
Jean is a different vessel from the brig William. Same named master, Belfast and Oporto support compatible continuity, not a proved identity or vessel renaming.

What the notice says
James Glasgow, Fayetteville, is an addressee in letters remaining at Fayetteville post office, list dated 5 November 1793.
Evidence and identity limits
Post-office heading and entry saved separately. Fayetteville is the printed address qualifier; neither collection, permanent residence, age, household nor continued life is established. Identity review (6 October 2026): A Fayetteville post-office list dated 5 November 1793 includes James Glasgow, Fayetteville. The only compatible profile is the Secretary of State, Glasgow-634, but a bare postal entry gives only a possible match.
[b. c. 1735; d. 1819-11-17] · addressee, Fayetteville post office (Nov 1793)Why this candidate?
The entry has no title or office. Fayetteville was a regular General Assembly and Grand Lodge meeting place in this period, where Glasgow-634 is placed in 1788–1789, and he is the only adult James Glasgow found in North Carolina. However, 'Fayetteville' here is only a postal address. No feature of the entry is unique to him, and a transient or unrecorded namesake cannot be excluded, so it stays possible. Identity context as in group 604128613: Glasgow-634 is the documented NC Secretary of State 1777–1798, Dobbs/Glasgow County resident and militia colonel; WikiTree has no other adult NC James Glasgow (son Glasgow-2492, b. 1776, is the only other).

What the notice says
James Glasgow is an addressee in letters remaining at Newbern post office, list headed 1 July 1794.
Evidence and identity limits
Two issues reprint one list. The complete heading and surname entry are saved; no identity, residence, collection, occupation, family or continued life is proved. Identity review (6 October 2026): A Newbern post-office list headed 1 July 1794 includes James Glasgow. This is a probable match to Glasgow-634, whose plantation in Glasgow County lay in the New Bern district. The 1799 university notice styles him 'of Newbern'.
[b. c. 1735; d. 1819-11-17] · addressee, Newbern post office (July 1794)Why this candidate?
New Bern was the post town of the district containing Glasgow-634's home county (Dobbs, renamed Glasgow County in 1791). His earlier mail, in 1788, was also listed at Newbern ('Contentney'), and the 1799 University trustee notice calls him 'Mr. James Glasgow, Newbern'. Name, regional post office, repeated association and the lack of any rival NC James make the match probable, although the entry itself has no title. Identity context as in group 604128613: Glasgow-634 is the documented NC Secretary of State 1777–1798, Dobbs/Glasgow County resident and militia colonel; WikiTree has no other adult NC James Glasgow (son Glasgow-2492, b. 1776, is the only other).

What the notice says
Hon. James Glasgow, Raleigh, is an addressee in a post-office letters list dated 1 October 1795.
Evidence and identity limits
Issue date 26 October 1795 differs from the list’s 1 October dateline. Thomas Banks is a separate addressee; this is not Thomas Glasgow. Raleigh is a geographic qualifier; no family or letter collection is proved. Glasgow-634 is a probable candidate for the explicit North Carolina Secretary of State records, matching the existing sourced public study. The Masonic officer, Dobbs candidate, Contentney and Raleigh addressee records form a compatible regional cluster; cross-record identity is inferred and remains qualified. Name, titles and locality do not prove spouse, parents or children. Identity review (6 October 2026): A Raleigh post-office list dated 1 October 1795 includes the Hon. James Glasgow. The honorific and Raleigh (seat of the Secretary of State's office from 1794) make this a probable match to Glasgow-634.
[b. c. 1735; d. 1819-11-17] · addressee, Raleigh post office (Oct 1795)Why this candidate?
'Hon.' marks a high public officer. Glasgow-634 was Secretary of State, whose office and land-grant registry were held in Raleigh once the capital was occupied (UNCA).

What the notice says
Col. James Glasgow, at Raleigh, is an addressee in letters remaining at Raleigh post office, list dated 1 April 1796.
Evidence and identity limits
Original heading and personal entry visually checked; long-s normalized to Glasgow. List date differs from issue date; postal title or address does not establish occupation, family, collection or that the addressee was still alive. Identity review (6 October 2026): A Raleigh post-office list dated 1 April 1796 includes Col. James Glasgow, at Raleigh. The colonelcy matches Glasgow-634's Dobbs militia rank, so this is a probable match.
[b. c. 1735; d. 1819-11-17] · addressee, Raleigh post office (Apr 1796)Why this candidate?
The title 'Col.' matches Glasgow-634's documented rank: colonel of the Dobbs County militia from 1777 (NCpedia; Wikipedia, Dobbs County Regiment). 'At Raleigh' matches the seat of his Secretary of State's office. Rank, place, name and period agree independently, with no rival. Identity context as in group 604128613: Glasgow-634 is the documented NC Secretary of State 1777–1798, Dobbs/Glasgow County resident and militia colonel; WikiTree has no other adult NC James Glasgow (son Glasgow-2492, b. 1776, is the only other).

What the notice says
Robert Glasgow pledges two guineas in a Cookstown reward subscription after a shot was fired at a soldier standing sentinel.
Evidence and identity limits
Issue dated 12 December 1796; reported Cookstown dateline is 2 December. The original notice recounts Tuesday morning, 29 November, and pledges a reward for discovery/conviction after a shot at a soldier standing sentinel. Two guineas is the sum pledged by Robert, not proof of payment or the assailant’s identity. His residence and family are unstated. Glasgow-1189 is a possible local/age candidate, with no Cookstown bridge. Glasgow-1983 is a weaker Irish-born namesake with a South Carolina household context. Neither identity, kinship nor residence is proved. Identity review (6 October 2026): Northern Star 12 Dec 1796: Robert Glasgow pledges two guineas to the Cookstown reward subscription after a shot was fired at a sentinel on 29 Nov 1796. A newly found strongest candidate is Glasgow-3941, the only Robert Glasgow in the 1796 Tyrone Flax Growers' list (Lissan parish, next to Cookstown; later at Coltrim). He is possible, not proved. Glasgow-1983 is now unlikely (South Carolina household by 1785).
[b. before 1776; d. after 1831] · subscriber to a reward fundWhy this candidate?
The 1796 Flax Growers' list for County Tyrone (same year) contains exactly one Robert of the surname: 'Glasgow, Robert, Lissan'. Lissan parish adjoins Cookstown (Derryloran) to the north. Glasgow-3941 is built on that flax entry and later Lissan records (Drapers' Company lease of Coltrim 1820, Lissan tithe 1827, 1831 census at Coltrim, Presbyterian). So the name, year and district agree. It stays possible rather than probable for two reasons. A Cookstown reward subscription was a town and gentry list, and the Registry of Deeds has a 'Robert Glasgow junior, gent.' of Cookstown in 1817 (memorial 488398, cited in research/Glasgow-2915), which implies a Robert senior in Cookstown who has no prof

What the notice says
James Glasgow, Muscadine Mathews and John Gray Blount are named signatories for holders of western land entries in a petition dated Raleigh, 23 December 1796.
Evidence and identity limits
Two newspapers reprint one petition. The excerpt states land claims, a request for justice and conditional proposals concerning land possession; these are petitioners’ claims, not a judicial finding, a proved land grant to James individually or a family link. Provider collection title retained; contemporary masthead title not independently verified. Identity review (6 October 2026): A petition dated Raleigh, 23 December 1796, by holders of western land entries is signed for them by James Glasgow, Muscadine Mathews and John Gray Blount. A US Senate committee report of March 1797 refers to 'the petition of J. Glasgow and others, relative to lands entered in the office of John Armstrong', which identifies the James Glasgow signer as Glasgow-634 (probable). The co-signers are not kin. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Muscadine Mathews.
[b. c. 1735; d. 1819-11-17] · signatory for holders of western land entries (petition, Raleigh, 23 Dec 1796)Why this candidate?
The UNC Asheville Speculation Lands biography of Secretary of State James Glasgow cites a US Senate committee report of 1 March 1797 on 'the petition of J.

That is the same subject as this petition of holders of western (Armstrong office) land entries. The place (Raleigh), date, subject and the Secretary's documented role in the western military land-warrant system all agree.

An Edenton proclamation dated February 1 reports that a chest belonging to James Glasgow, containing Secretary of State’s office papers, was thrown from a State-House window during a burglary attempt; the thieves had no time to carry it away.
Evidence and identity limits
Issue date is 1 February 1798. Wm. Tyrrel’s separate trunk is reported stolen; James’s chest was not carried off. Papers had been deposited for an enquiry into suspected military land-warrant fraud. Property ownership and the proclamation do not establish James’s guilt or by themselves prove his office. Identity review (6 October 2026): An Edenton printing (1 February 1798) of the state proclamation about the State-House burglary reports that a chest belonging to James Glasgow, containing Secretary of State's office papers deposited for the land-warrant enquiry, was thrown from a window but not carried off.

What the notice says
John Glasgow, labourer, Millrig, is named among voluntary subscriptions in the parish of Kirkliston.
Evidence and identity limits
The heading establishes voluntary subscriptions and the Kirkliston section. It does not prove payment, a military enlistment, an individual amount, religion or family. Identity remains unresolved. Compatible candidates have chronology only, without an individual place, occupation or family bridge. These three John contexts may involve different men; the two Allegheny reprints are one list. Identity review (6 October 2026): July 1798 Kirkliston voluntary subscriptions: 'John Glasgow, labourer, Millrig'. He is very probably John Glasgow (Glasgow-159), agricultural labourer, married at Kirkliston in 1785, with children baptised there 1786-1797.
[b. c. 1761; d. ?] · subscriberWhy this candidate?
Name + occupation + parish + date agree independently: Glasgow-159 is John Glasgow, agricultural labourer (occupation from daughter Janet's 1874 death record), married Agnes Gray at Kirkliston 19 Sept 1785, with children Thomas (1786), Mary (1788), Janet (1790) and a child (1797) in the Kirkliston register - so he was a Kirkliston labourer in 1798. Millrig itself is not yet on the profile. The prior candidates are weaker: Glasgow-4090 is recorded in Desertoghill, Co. Londonderry in the 1796 flax list with a family there - unlikely; Glasgow-3927 is an 1831 Inishrush householder - unlikely; Glasgow-2964 (Edinburgh, 1841) has no Kirkliston link.

What the notice says
James Glasgow, son to David Glasgow, is named in the Kelso parish militia ballot list accompanying a Jedburgh notice dated 29 September 1798.
Evidence and identity limits
Roxburgh County Militia notice dated Jedburgh, 29 September 1798, names Kelso parish selections by ballot, instructing attendance at Kelso on 11 October or finding a substitute. Selection is not proof of completed service. David’s weaving descriptor appears stockfweaver; exact lexical expansion remains uncertain. The original does not call him junior. The original explicitly describes James as son of David Glasgow. James-1222 and David-1218 are compatible regional/chronological candidates, but neither identity is proved; their existing Wiki Tree father link does not independently identify this newspaper family. No certainty upgrade or live parent change is justified. Identity review (6 October 2026): Oct 1798 Roxburgh militia ballot, Kelso parish: 'James Glasgow, son to David Glasgow, [stocking-]weaver'. This is James Glasgow (Glasgow-1222, b. 25 Dec 1777 Kelso) and his father David (Glasgow-1218); the existing father-son link can be made confident.

Name + father's name + parish + age agree. Glasgow-1222 was born 25 Dec 1777 at Kelso to David Glasgow and Janet Hood; in Sept 1798 he was 20, inside the 19-23 age band balloted under the 1797 Scottish Militia Act. He is the only James son of a David in the Roxburghshire Glasgow families on WikiTree (James 'Glasgoue-1', b.1746, is David's brother, far too old).

Thomas is a named addressee, and Kentucky the geographic qualifier. The Lexington post-office heading is preserved separately. The notice says uncollected letters would be returned after three months; no collection, occupation, age, household or exact residence is proved. No existing profile is identified. Glasgow-3592 and Glasgow-1620 are weak chronology-only comparisons with no Kentucky or correspondence bridge.

Identity review (6 October 2026): A University of North Carolina notice dated 10 May 1799 names Mr. James Glasgow, Newbern, among the trustees forming the visitation committee for the 4 July examination. The University's own catalogue lists James Glasgow (of Glasgow County) as a trustee from 1790 to 1801, and Battle's history names the Secretary of State James Glasgow among trustees at examinations. This is a strong match to Glasgow-634.
[b. c. 1735; d. 1819-11-17] · UNC trustee; visitation committee for the 4 July 1799 examinationWhy this candidate?
Trusteeship of the University was a unique, enumerated office. The 1889 UNC catalogue of officers lists a single James Glasgow trustee: 'JAMES GLASGOW, Glasgow [county]', appointed 1790, term expired 1801. Battle's History of the University (vol. 1) names 'the Secretary of State, James Glasgow' among trustees attending an examination. 'Newbern' is the district or post town of Glasgow County.

What the notice says
Robert Glasgow, Esq. of Montgreenan, is named in a lodged claim for enrolment on Ayr’s roll of freeholders.
Evidence and identity limits
Issue dated 6 August; notice is dated Ayr, 3 August 1799. It reports a claim before the forthcoming Michaelmas head-court, not acceptance or completed enrolment. Glasgow-1076 is a probable candidate for the exact Montgreenan designation, consistent with a prior independently reviewed 1802 record. The 1785 surgeon and 1793 Loudoun doctor are compatible earlier contexts; their identity with him is inferred, not explicitly linked. No family relationship is proved. Identity review (6 October 2026): Aug 1799: Robert Glasgow, Esq. of Montgreenan, lodges a claim to be enrolled as a freeholder of Ayrshire. Glasgow-1076, strong; shows he was 'of Montgreenan' before 1802.
[b. before 1747-10-15; d. 1827-04-19] · claimant for enrolment as freeholderWhy this candidate?
Unique estate designation 'of Montgreenan' + Ayrshire + date; only one Robert Glasgow held Montgreenan (Paterson: bought from John Bowman in 1794; died at Mountgreenan House 19 Apr 1827). The 1799 claim contradicts UCL's 'estate purchased 1802' and supports Paterson's 1794.

What the notice says
John Glasgow is named under Allegheny Township in a township-grouped list accompanying Huntingdon County election-meeting material.
Evidence and identity limits
Two issues repeat the same township list. Resolution V directs the proceedings to be signed by the chairman, secretary and citizens present; the township names follow Robert Galbraith, chairman. John is apparently a participating citizen, without an individually specified office or signature mark. This is Huntingdon County context, not modern Allegheny County; no family role is stated. Identity remains unresolved. Compatible candidates have chronology only, without an individual place, occupation or family bridge. These three John contexts may involve different men; the two Allegheny reprints are one list. Identity review (6 October 2026): John Glasgow is listed under Allegheny Township in a township-grouped list of Huntingdon County election-meeting participants (September 1799). Allegheny Township passed into Cambria County in 1804, where Glasgow-664 (John Glasgow, 1777–1845) was enumerated in Allegheny Township in 1820 and died at Glasgow, Cambria County. That makes Glasgow-664 a stronger possible match than before. An older John Glasgo, head of a Huntingdon County household in 1790, has no profile and competes.
[b. 1777-11-10; d. 1845-05-21] · participating citizen listed under Allegheny Township, Huntingdon County election meeting (1799)Why this candidate?
There is a township-level place continuity. Cambria County was created in 1804 from Huntingdon and Somerset Counties, and was 'originally divided into three townships, Allegheny, Cambria and Conemaugh' (Cambria County 'Origin of Cambria County'), so Allegheny Township was carried over from Huntingdon. Glasgow-664 (John Glasgow, b. 10 Nov 1777 per profile, d. 21 May 1845 at Glasgow, Cambria County; wife Elizabeth Bell, born Huntingdon) appears in the 1820 census of Allegheny Township, Cambria County (profile citation; confirmed in the USGenWeb 1820 Cambria transcription, which lists John and James Glasgow in Allegheny). He would have been about 21 in 1799. Name, township and region agree acro

John Glasco appears in the continued roster; the previous page has the heading COUNTY OF LONDONDERRY.
Evidence and identity limits
The linked previous-page heading supplies county context. The list category remains unresolved; do not label him a juror, freeholder or militiaman. The separate UNION paragraph concerning Grand Jurors does not classify this later roster. No bridge to the 1798 Dublin attendee is established. Identity review (6 October 2026): Public Register 24 Sep 1799: John Glasco in a continued roster under the heading COUNTY OF LONDONDERRY (list category unresolved). Several Londonderry John Glasgows are compatible. Glasgow-3927, whose 1831 census entry is itself spelled 'John Glasco', is listed first, but all remain possible.
[b. c. 1767; d. ?] · name in a County Londonderry rosterWhy this candidate?
The roster gives only name, spelling and county. Compatible Co. Londonderry adults in 1799: (1) Glasgow-3927, est. b. 1767, Inishrush, Tamlaght O'Crilly; his 1831 census entry spells the name 'John Glasco', matching this roster. (2) Glasgow-4090, in the 1796 Desertoghill flax list (two spinning wheels), b. before 1772. (3) Glasgow-822, b. 10 Apr 1767 Inishrush, children born in Ireland to 1815, later Ohio. (4) Glasgow-4179, father of 4090, b. c.1747. Glasgow-549 (John, Co. Londonderry, d. 1785) is excluded by his death. The shared spelling slightly favours Glasgow-3927, but spelling in a printed list is weak evidence, and 3927 and 822 may even be the same man (both b. 1767, Inishrush). That

What the notice says
A printed response to warrant accusations reproduces a conveyance dated 20 July 1785, purporting to transfer Francis Harrison’s claimed heir-at-law rights in Stephen and James Harrison’s military lands to James Glasgow, witnessed by Samuel Holladay.
Evidence and identity limits
The document is reproduced as part of a response to allegations: this newspaper extract does not authenticate a signature, title or completed transfer. Francis claims Harrison kinship; it is not Glasgow kinship. Publication in December 1799 differs from the printed deed date 1785. The two Register 31 December URLs are archive copies of the same page. The supplementary reply passage attributes unsigned warrants to hurried business and denies fraudulent intention; this is his reported explanation, not a finding that the accusations were disproved. Identity review (6 October 2026): A printed reply to the warrant accusations (Raleigh, late December 1799) reproduces a conveyance dated 20 July 1785 by which Francis Harrison, claiming as heir-at-law, purportedly transferred his rights in the military lands of Stephen and James Harrison to James Glasgow, witnessed by Samuel Holladay. This is a strong match to Glasgow-634. The kinship stated is among the Harrisons, not with Glasgow.

What the notice says
A legislative debate reports a proposed amendment to include James Glasgow’s case if it should be thought proper to bring him to trial.
Evidence and identity limits
Conditional proposed trial provision, not proof that a trial occurred, that an amendment became law or that guilt was adjudicated. Identity review (6 October 2026): A legislative debate report (Weekly Raleigh Register, 31 Dec 1799) mentions a proposed amendment to include James Glasgow's case, should it be thought proper to bring him to trial. This is a strong match to Glasgow-634, whose trial took place in 1800.
[b. c. 1735; d. 1819-11-17] · subject of a proposed trial provision (Dec 1799 legislative debate)Why this candidate?
The proposed amendment for trying James Glasgow in the land-warrant affair matches Glasgow-634's documented trial and conviction, State v. Glasgow, Spring Term 1800 (UNCA; NCpedia). Record-level bridge, no competitor. Identity context as in group 604128613: Glasgow-634 is the documented NC Secretary of State 1777–1798, Dobbs/Glasgow County resident and militia colonel; WikiTree has no other adult NC James Glasgow (son Glasgow-2492, b. 1776, is the only other).

Name, father 'the late John Dunlop of Dunlop', spouse and place (Dunlop House) all agree; Paterson's Dunlop of Dunlop account names her. Born 17 May 1769, Dunlop.

Evidence and identity limits
The county meeting debated trial by jury in civil cases. Montgreenan’s Glasgow was represented by an authorised attendee; this does not place him physically at the meeting. Name, estate and chronology fit Robert-1076. Identity review (6 October 2026): 1808 Ayr county meeting: Robert Morris of Craig acted 'as authorised by Mr. Glasgow of Montgreenan'.

Under ROBBERY AND REWARD, the shop of Messrs Peter and Semple at 108 Grafton Street was entered and stolen watches listed. One is a gold double-cased watch marked “Glasco and Son, Dublin.” The stolen watch bears the number 3203.
Evidence and identity limits
This is a maker/firm mark on a watch listed among stolen property in a robbery notice. The issue dates the printed notice, not manufacture or continuous business activity; “and Son” does not prove named father and son. The watch is not established as made in the existing watchmaker’s shop, and no individual or family identity follows. Identity review (6 October 2026): Robbery notice (Freeman's Journal, March 1811) listing a stolen gold watch marked 'Glasco and Son, Dublin'.

What the notice says
The military list under COLONELS names George Glasgow, of the royal artillery; the name wraps across two lines. The printed section heading reads ‘To be MAJOR-GENERALS in the Army / COLONELS.’
Evidence and identity limits
The surname and Royal Artillery association were checked at increased magnification. The printed heading reads ‘To be MAJOR-GENERALS in the Army / COLONELS’; George Glasgow is named under the COLONELS subheading. The page supplies list-heading context but no individually stated order date. Continuity with the 1819 Royal Artillery George is compatible but inferred. Neither this list nor its Irish publication proves Irish birth, residence or family. Identity review (6 October 2026): June 1811 brevet list naming Colonel George Glasgow of the Royal Artillery among the new major-generals. He is the artillery general George Glasgow who served in Canada and died in London on 28 Oct 1820, documented by the Dictionary of Canadian Biography.

The entry date is 8 February, not a reported date of Hagan’s death. The issue was published on 28 February. Only the initial J. is printed. This documentary sequence may involve one or more men; identity continuity is unresolved. Weak possible comparisons: Glasgow-2058: Weak comparison only: compatible chronology and later Cookstown merchant context, but no service, Liverpool, family, or surname-spelling bridge.

[b. 1795-02-15; d. 1851-01-06] · Royal Artillery officerWhy this candidate?
Askwith's RA index has a single 'Glasgow, G. M.'

A return from half-pay to a post at the same rank, not a promotion from Second Lieutenant. 7 February 1825 is inferred from the contemporary issue. Glasgow-3127 has a matching Royal Artillery captain biography, but its live Sources section is empty; Glasgow-3785 is an exact-name chronology candidate and Glasgow-1536 a weaker linked comparison. No family identity, birth date, nationality or station is proved. Identity review (6 October 2026): February 1825 Ordnance notice: First Lieutenant George Mark Glasgow, from half-pay, to be First Lieutenant RA vice Forster. He is the George Mark Glasgow born at Quebec in 1795, later Captain RA, who died at Kingston, Canada West in 1851. His 1851 obituary calls him 'son of the late General Glasgow, of the same corps'. Glasgow-3785 is the match, Glasgow-3127 appears to be a duplicate of him, and a father link to the general (who has no profile yet) is supported.
[b. 1795-02-15; d. 1851-01-06] · First Lieutenant, Royal Regiment of Artillery (from half-pay)Why this candidate?
The unique full name George Mark Glasgow in the Royal Artillery traces one career: London Gazette 18 Jan 1825 (2nd Lt to be 1st Lt, dated 15 Nov 1824); London Gazette 8 Feb 1825 (1st Lt from half-pay to be 1st Lt, dated 26 Dec 1824; this is the notice transcribed in Freeman's Journal); Times 12 Apr 1843 (2nd Capt to be Captain vice Raynes); Monthly Army List Jan 1849 (captain vice George Mark Glasgow, retired, 15 Feb 1849). The Spectator of 1 Mar 1851 and the Gentleman's Magazine of Apr 1851 report his death on 26 Jan 1851: 'At Kingston, Canada West, George Mark Glasgow, late Captain Royal Artillery, son of the late General Glasgow, of the same corps.' Glasgow-3785 is George Mark Glasgow, b.

What the notice says
Benjamin Glasgow is listed under Masters in Surgery in a Glasgow University report stating that gentlemen from Ireland were admitted to degrees during the session.
Evidence and identity limits
The newspaper reports a degree by May 1825; the university index, rechecked 4 October 2026, lists Benjamin Glasgow in 1826. Preserve the discrepancy: different dates, an index or printing error, or a namesake remain possible. Strong compatible candidate Glasgow-3412 and the Cookstown/New Orleans surgeon account; no father, hometown, age or overseas career appears here. Identity review (6 October 2026): May 1825 report of Glasgow University degrees conferred on gentlemen from Ireland lists Benjamin Glasgow as Master in Surgery. Glasgow-3412 is built solely on the university's record of this degree, so the match is probable: he is the only Benjamin Glasgow in the index, though it dates the degree 1826. The profile's 'born 1805 Scotland' is unsupported and contradicts 'from Ireland'.
[b. c. 1805; d. ?] · Master in Surgery, University of Glasgow (session 1824-25 per notice)Why this candidate?
Glasgow-3412's only sourced fact is the University of Glasgow Story entry 'Benjamin Glasgow ... Master of Surgery, 1826'. A fresh query of that index returns exactly one Benjamin Glasgow. The newspaper reports the same uncommon degree at the same university for a Benjamin Glasgow in the 1824-25 session. Name, institution and degree agree. The one-year discrepancy (1825 report, 1826 index) is unresolved, which is why the match is probable rather than strong. The profile's birthplace 'Scotland' and birth year 1805 have no source, and the notice places him among 'gentlemen from Ireland'. A WikiTree search for Benjamin Glasgow or Glasco born 1780-1820 returns only Glasgow-3412.

Separately, the Logic and Belles Lettres section named James Glasgow for general eminence during the session in daily examinations and composition of exercises on class subjects. The notice does not establish whether these two entries refer to one student or two.
Evidence and identity limits
The two 1828 entries are distinct mentions; whether they refer to one student or two remains unresolved. Glasgow-1780 remains a strong compatible candidate for the wider Institution, teaching and ministry sequence, but this award list alone does not establish the 1828 identity. These notices give no age, full middle name, parents or spouse; they establish no sibling relationship. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast Institution College Department awards, May 1828, list 'Jas. Glasgow of Broughshane' (Junior Division class) and, separately, James Glasgow (Logic and Belles Lettres, general eminence). The Broughshane student is probably James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780), whose family burial ground is Racavan, Broughshane. The Logic entry is only a possible match.

The same page also has a separate geographic “near Glasgow” and a separate James M’Clatchey.
Evidence and identity limits
The named Belfast College student is a possible match to Glasgow-1780 by the broader education-to-ministry sequence only; this notice alone does not identify him as the later Castledawson minister. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast College premiums, 1 May 1829: an essay prize 'On the Application of Testimony to Miraculous Events' went to James Glasgow, Belfast College (Logic class of the previous year). This fits James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780), later minister of Castledawson, but the list gives no place or parent, so the match stays possible.
[b. 1805-05-27; d. 1890-06-30] · essay prize winner (Logic class essay)Why this candidate?
Glasgow-1780 (James McClure Glasgow, b. 1805 near Clough) was educated at RBAI, licensed in 1834 and was minister of Castledawson from 1835, so chronology, institution and later ministry fit. Continuity with the 1828 Logic and Belles Lettres James is natural, since the essays were 'proposed to the Logic Class of last year'.

[b. c. 1811; d. 1888-05-16] · applicant to register a freehold at Lisnagaver (10 Geo. IV c. 8)Why this candidate?
The place agrees exactly: Lisnagaver, Rasharkin parish, barony of Kilconway. The 1834 Rasharkin tithe book has 'Alexr Glasgow' with 29 acres at Lisnagaver, a holding consistent with an 1829 £10 freehold, but which Alexander held it is unresolved on both profiles. Glasgow-951 was a farmer of Lisnagaver in 1851. His 1851 census age of 40 implies birth c.1811, which would make him about 18 in 1829, too young to register. His 1888 death at 84 implies birth c.1804, about 25 in 1829, so there is no firm age conflict. He was at Gortereghy in 1837-38. Glasgow-3904 is an older Alexander, born before c.1778 and reconstructed from descendant testimony. He is compatible but has no contemporary record of

What the notice says
The Belfast News-Letter of 12 November 1830 announced that the Belfast Juvenile Society’s sixth annual meeting would be held on Monday, 15 November, at seven o’clock at Rev. Dr Cooke’s meeting-house in May Street. Walter Moffat and James Glasgow were named as the Society’s secretaries.
Evidence and identity limits
The secretary role and scheduled meeting remain valid. This notice does not identify James as the Institution student or minister; the Walter Moffat association remains supporting network context only. Identity review (6 October 2026): 12 November 1830: James Glasgow and Walter Moffat, secretaries of the Belfast Juvenile Society, announced its sixth annual meeting at Dr Cooke's May Street meeting-house. The student James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780) is the most plausible match but nothing in the notice proves it; no relationship is stated.

Only compatibility: a James Glasgow resident in Belfast in 1830-31 acting for a young people's religious society meeting at Dr Cooke's May Street meeting-house and sent as a deputation with Rev. Walter Moffat. James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780) was then a student at the Belfast Institution (prizes 1830-32, licensed 1834, later the first Irish Presbyterian missionary), so he fits age, place and religious activity, but the notice gives no designation, Institution affiliation or relative. Glasgow-3986 (Larne merchant b. c.1773, d. 1831), Glasgow-3444 (Cookstown, b. c.1776) and Glasgow-2981 (Dunaghy day-labourer b. c.1801) are older men documented elsewhere with no Belfast connection; retained

Evidence and identity limits
This is an application published on 24 December 1830, not proof that registration succeeded. Glasgow-3986 is the strongest compatible local candidate, but the notice gives no age, occupation, relatives or bridge to the 1795 merchant or 1797 junior. It does not connect Larne to Lisnagaver. Identity review (6 October 2026): December 1830 list of freehold-registration applicants for the Carrickfergus Quarter Sessions of 13 January 1831: no. 16 James Glasgow of Larne, houses and land in Upper Glenarm / Larne, GBP10 a year. Glasgow-3986 (James of Larne, b. c.1773, reported d. 1831) is compatible but unproved; the 1839 Demerara James (a native of Larne) is an unprofiled alternative. No relationship stated.

No age, occupation, relative or townland bridge; an 1831 death (month unknown) does not conflict with a January 1831 registration.

Evidence and identity limits
The March deputation role remains valid as a separate report from the November 1830 secretary notice. The two notices support one Society-role account, but do not by themselves prove identity with Glasgow-1780. Identity review (6 October 2026): 4 March 1831: Rev.

Adam Dickie Glasgow-1781 and James McClure Glasgow-1780 are strong compatible candidates. James’s checked live biography names the Institution and mathematics, but its underlying education source was not newly read. The newspaper gives no ages or parents and does not call these men brothers. Their already documented sibling relationship is a comparison, not a new relationship upgrade. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast College report of 30 April 1831 names Adam D. Glasgow of Broughshane (mathematics) and James Glasgow of the Institution (voluntary advanced mathematics). They are the brothers Adam Dickey Glasgow (Glasgow-1781) and James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780); the notice does not call them brothers, and their sibling link is already on WikiTree and independently stated in the Fasti.

They are co-signatories; no kinship, occupation, age or individual townland is given. Castledawson and 4 July 1831 refer to the opposing meeting discussed in the declaration, not their homes or their signing date.
Evidence and identity limits
Robert Glasgow-3941, the Coltrim land occupier documented in 1820–1831, is a strong compatible regional candidate; the newspaper lacks a townland or family bridge to prove it. Glasgow-2656 of the Cookstown district remains another adult comparison. Glasgow-12 has an Ohio record sequence and is a weaker comparison despite Moneymore origin; the newspaper does not resolve his travel or retained Irish property. No Robert is identified as John’s father or brother, or as the surgeon’s father, from this signature. Glasgow-1968 is a compatible chronology comparison, but the 1827 Drummeen tithe subject is itself unproved as that profile. Glasgow-2058, Glasgow-3927 (an indexed freeholder with uncertain locality), Glasgow-2990 and Glasgow-4090 remain adult regional comparisons. No same-name co-signature establishes descent, brotherhood or identity with the Cookstown merchant. The declaration concerns a holding in the barony, not necessarily residence there. Identity review (6 October 2026): 16 August 1831 declaration by freeholders of the barony of Loughinsholin, Co. Londonderry, supporting Sir Robert Bateson, signed among others by Robert Glasgow and John Glasgow. Robert is possibly Robert of Coltrim, Lissan (Glasgow-3941); John cannot be assigned among several namesakes. The co-signature states no relationship.
[b. before 1776; d. after 1831] · freeholder of Loughinsholin barony, signatoryWhy this candidate?
Robert of Coltrim (Glasgow-3941) held a Drapers' Company lease at Coltrim from 1820 (a lease for lives would make him a freeholder), paid tithe there in 1827 and was a householder in the 1831 census under 'Londonderry / Loughinshollin / Lissane / Coltrim' - a landholder in this barony in this year. But the declaration gives no townland, and the PRONI freeholders' database has no Robert Glasgow registered in Co. Londonderry (only Robert of Loy, Tyrone). Glasgow-2656 (Cookstown, Tyrone) and Glasgow-12 (in Ohio long before 1831) are weaker/unlikely; the 1827 Dunnabraggy occupier may be another Robert. Possible, not probable.

Evidence and identity limits
1833 is inferred from “last” in the 1834 publication; no age or mother is stated. Both notices concern one death, not independent witnesses. Glasgow-3412 is a strong compatible surgery-graduate candidate, not a proved identity. The father was dead by 20 May 1834, distinct from the mill father who died in 1856. Robert-3941 remains compatible by chronology only. No existing-profile father confidence is upgraded. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 20 May 1834: Benjamin Glasgow, surgeon, formerly of Vera Cruz, died at New Orleans on 26 November 1833, son of the late Robert Glasgow of Cookstown. Benjamin is probably Glasgow-3412 (Glasgow University surgeon, 1825, 'Hibernus'); his father is not securely on WikiTree, so the parent link stays a research note.

Hugh Allan v. Trustees of Robert Glasgow: the report calls Mrs Robertson Glasgow the late Robert’s natural daughter and first heir under his 1818 entail. It reports his death in 1827 and a supplementary entail and trust dated 23 June 1821, involving Seafield near Ayr.

Contemporary account of the 25 August hearing, independently supporting Anne’s daughter/heir description and the 1827 death year. It does not verify 19 April. Hugh Allan-8034, the profile-defined nephew, is a compatible appellant candidate; older Allan-8028 has no death recorded but would be 109. Neither identity is proved. These later deeds are distinct from the uninspected 1803 trust. Identity review (6 October 2026): Aug 1835 report of the Lords appeal Hugh Allan v. Trustees of Robert Glasgow. The late Robert is Glasgow of Montgreenan (1076, strong) and 'Mrs Robertson Glasgow', his natural daughter and heir, is Anne (2874, strong), so Anne's father link can be made confident. Hugh Allan is probably the nephew Allan-8034 (heir-at-law).

What the notice says
House of Lords appeals: the report reproduces clauses of Glasgow’s settlement and says Lord Brougham recommended reversing the judgment below; judgment reversed accordingly. The heading appears to read Henry Allen v. Trustees of R. Glasgow.
Evidence and identity limits
Reports the Wednesday judgment, 2 September 1835. The estate, Seafield dispute and counsel identify the same litigation as the 26 August report, whose appellant is Hugh Allan. Preserve the discrepant heading; compare the original court papers before resolving the name. Reported deed extracts are not an inspection of the original deed. Identity review (6 October 2026): Sept 1835 Morning Chronicle report of the House of Lords reversing the judgment in favour of the appellant against 'R. Glasgow's' trustees. R. Glasgow is Robert of Montgreenan (1076, strong). The heading's 'Henry Allen' is the same appellant as Hugh Allan.
[b. before 1747-10-15; d. 1827-04-19] · the late entailer/truster whose settlement was litigatedWhy this candidate?
Same as group 396909317. The settlement of Robert Glasgow of Montgreenan (d.1827), with its 1818 entail, 23 June 1821 deeds and Seafield, is identified by the 1846 House of Lords report, the Shaw & Maclean digest and LBS claim 466.
· appellant, heir-at-law of Robert Glasgow of MontgreenanWhy this candidate?
Same appellant as group 396909317 (Hugh Allan, heir-at-law). 'Henry Allen' is a heading misprint: the estate, the Seafield dispute, the counsel and the 1 Sept 1835 reversal are identical. Grading and reasoning are as in that group.

What the notice says
The Belfast News-Letter reports that on Tuesday, 6 October 1835, Rev. James Glasgow was ordained to the pastoral charge of the Castledawson congregation in connection with the Synod of Ulster. Rev. Mr Wallace of Rasharkin preached, Rev. Mr Rogers of Kilrea gave the customary defence of Presbyterian ordination, and Rev. Mr Elder of Finvoy offered the ordination prayer. These clergy’s roles do not establish kinship or James’s residence in their locations. After the solemn service, the congregation entertained the Presbytery and Mr. Glasgow’s friends at a dinner at Mr. Oliver’s hotel.

The ordination and date 6 October remain valid. Keep separate from the earlier call report; correct any profile text that labels 6 October as the call date, while leaving the exact call date open.

What the notice says
Under ‘ORDINATION AT BELLAGHY,’ the report says the Magherafelt Presbytery ordained Rev. Gilbert Kirker Wilson to Bellaghy on ‘the 15th ult.’ Rev. James Glasgow, of Castledawson, commenced the service with a sermon. After the report of the service, the same account describes the toasts: the chairman gave ‘The Gentlemen who officiated this day,’ and Rev. James Glasgow returned thanks. With the 5 April issue date, ‘15th ult.’ means 15 March 1836.

Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal, 21 January 1837, reprints the Ordnance list of 16 January: First Lieutenant George Mark Glasgow to be Second Captain, vice Freer. He is the Royal Artillery officer of Glasgow-3127 (probable), who is very probably also Glasgow-3785 (b. Quebec 1795, d. Kingston 1851) - a likely duplicate pair. No relationship stated.
[b. c. 1805; d. before 1846] · promoted Second Captain, vice Freer (Office of Ordnance, 16 Jan 1837)Why this candidate?
Full name 'George Mark Glasgow' is unique in WikiTree and the record set, and the office agrees: Glasgow-3127's biography quotes a printed county-families entry 'Madeline, dau. of the late George Mark Glasgow, Esq., Capt. R.A.' (m. George Nevile of Stubton 1846), i.e. he reached captain's rank in the Royal Artillery, which this 1837 promotion supplies; Askwith's RA officer list indexes a 'Glasgow, G. M.'. Glasgow-3785 (George Mark Glasgow, b. 15 Feb 1795 Quebec, d. 6 Jan 1851 Kingston, Canada West; death-duty index 1851) is almost certainly the same man: same rare full name, and a Quebec birth fits a son of Lt-Gen George Glasgow RA, eight of whose nine children were born in Canada (DCB). 312

Under the Office of Ordnance heading dated 16 January: ‘TO BE SECOND CAPTAINS—1st Lieut. George Mark Glasgow, vice Freer’; then ‘TO BE FIRST LIEUTENANTS—2d Lieut. George Carter Evelegh, vice Glasgow.’
Evidence and identity limits
The notice reports George Mark Glasgow appointed Second Captain from First Lieutenant, vice Freer; the following appointment of George Carter Evelegh as First Lieutenant, vice Glasgow, is consistent with the vacancy. The order is dated 16 January 1837 and was published 24 January. Glasgow-3127 is compatible with a previously reviewed profile biography reporting captain rank; Glasgow-3785 remains an exact-name chronological alternative and Glasgow-1536 a weaker linked comparison. Continuity with the 1825 notice and identity with any WikiTree profile remain unproved. The newspaper does not identify a birthplace, Irish residence/origin, or family relationship. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 24 January 1837: Office of Ordnance, 16 January - 1st Lieut. George Mark Glasgow to be Second Captain, vice Freer; 2nd Lieut. George Carter Evelegh to be First Lieutenant, vice Glasgow. Same promotion as the Freeman's Journal reprint; the officer is probably Glasgow-3127, itself probably a duplicate of Glasgow-3785.

What the notice says
The report describes the ordination of Rev. Samuel Smith to the Draperstown congregation by the Presbytery of Magherafelt on Tuesday 28 March 1837. After the service, the congregation entertained the Presbytery and friends at dinner. In its account of the gathering, it names Rev. J. Glasgow of Castledawson among the other speakers.
Evidence and identity limits
The printed name is Rev. J. Glasgow, not an expanded full name. Castledawson and the ministerial context make James McClure Glasgow-1780 a probable compatible candidate for this record within the already supported career sequence; the newspaper alone does not establish that full identity. The report does not change the pending call-date or ordination-date review, and no family relationship is inferred. Identity review (6 October 2026): At the dinner after Rev. Samuel Smith's ordination to Draperstown on 28 March 1837, 'Rev. J. Glasgow of Castledawson' was among the speakers. He is James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780); no relationship is stated.

Under Antrim Assizes, Jane Glasgow is named as the mother of the deceased Anne Armstrong. Euphemia Armstrong is named as mother of John Armstrong, who was married to Anne. The report says Anne died on 23 June 1838 at printed Bally-cluck; the manslaughter defendant William M’Gowan was found not guilty.
Evidence and identity limits
The original report directly establishes these named relationships, the printed locality and the acquittal. It does not give ages, Jane’s spouse or residence, or Anne’s birth surname. Retain Bally-cluck as printed. The checked catalogue supports compatible but unproved Jane Glasgow comparisons McClure-6341 and Glasgow-1779; neither is selected or attached. No concrete candidate was located for Anne, John or Euphemia. Identity review (6 October 2026): Antrim Assizes, July 1838: William M'Gowan, a man-midwife, was acquitted of the manslaughter of Anne Armstrong, who died in childbirth on 23 June 1838 at Bally-cluck (Ballyclug, beside Ballymena/Broughshane). Euphemia Armstrong was the mother of Anne's husband John Armstrong, and Jane Glasgow was Anne's mother. Jane Glasgow is probably the widow Jane (McClure) Glasgow (McClure-6341) of the Racavan/Broughshane family, and Anne is possibly her daughter Glasgow-1779 'Jane Armstrong', whose gravestone gives 1837 - so the notice may supply that daughter's husband and true death date.

[b. c. 1799; d. c. 1837] · died 23 June 1838 at Bally-cluck after a difficult childbirth; wife of John Armstrong; daughter of Jane GlasgowWhy this candidate?
Glasgow-1779 is Jane (Glasgow) Armstrong, b. c.1799, daughter of John Glasgow and Jane McClure, 'died 1837 aged 38' per the Racavan stone transcription. Agreements: Glasgow-born daughter of a Jane Glasgow, married to an Armstrong, of childbearing age (38-39), died c.1837-38 in the parish next to Racavan. Conflicts: forename Anne (notice, twice) vs Jane (stone transcript) and year 1838 (notice, confirmed by the July 1838 assize) vs 1837 (transcript). Both could be transcription slips or an 'Anne Jane' double name, but neither is resolved, so only possible. If accepted, 1779's death should become 23 June 1838 at Ballyclug.

Evidence and identity limits
“Saturday last” is inferred as 27 June 1840, a Saturday. James McClure Glasgow-1780 is the strongest profile match: the checked profile records the same bride and date in Belfast, and his documented ministry was at Castledawson. The notice does not state a middle name. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal, 1 Jul 1840: Rev. James Glasgow of Castledawson married Miss Mary Wightman of Belfast on 27 June 1840. Groom is Glasgow-1780 and bride is Wightman-3457. The marriage is already linked, and the Dictionary of Ulster Biography and the Londonderry Sentinel corroborate it.

What the notice says
In the General Assembly report, “The Assembly then proceeded to set apart two Missionaries to India—namely, the Rev. James Glasgow, of Castledawson, and the Rev. Alexander Kerr, of Portadown.” They stated their motives and were set apart for the India mission. No exact meeting date is supplied in this excerpt. Elsewhere on the same page, a separate report says two Synod ministers, Messrs. Adam Glasgow and James Carr, offered for the Synod’s foreign mission to India; this is a distinct passage and establishes no relationship to James. A separate General Synod report says ordained ministers Messrs. Adam Glasgow and James Carr offered themselves for the Synod’s foreign mission in India and were accepted; Kathiawar or Guzerat was selected as their first field, with a planned 4 August departure overland to Bombay. This is separate from the General Assembly passage about Rev. James Glasgow and Alexander Kerr.
Evidence and identity limits
Castledawson and India mission career are probable matches to Glasgow-1780 as a continuing subject; the printed source does not state a middle name. Do not describe this appointment as made by the Synod: the selected paragraph explicitly says the Assembly. Adam Glasgow in a separate earlier clause is a separate person occurrence; no kinship is inferred. The printed line breaks the place across lines as “Porta-/down,” read as Portadown. The place is printed across a line break as “Porta-/down,” read as Portadown. The Adam Glasgow passage is a distinct occurrence; no kinship with James or Robert Glasgow is implied. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 14 Jul 1840: the General Assembly sets apart Rev. James Glasgow of Castledawson and Rev. Alexander Kerr of Portadown as missionaries to India. A separate Synod passage says Adam Glasgow and James Carr offered themselves for India. James is Glasgow-1780 (strong) and Adam is Glasgow-1781 (probable). The notice states no kinship.
[b. 1805-05-27; d. 1890-06-30] · missionary set apart for IndiaWhy this candidate?
Castledawson plus the 1840 India mission with Kerr is a unique designation. The Dictionary of Ulster Biography and PHSI both record that Glasgow and Kerr were the General Assembly's first two missionaries.

Minister/officiant occurrence, not kinship. Keep adjacent London/St George’s wedding separate. Strongly compatible with Glasgow-1781, without unique identification.

Evidence and identity limits
“Of Berry-street” is the printed church association for Rev. Adam Glasgow, not proof of residence. The name, church, and chronology strongly fit the existing qualified Glasgow-1781 Belfast minister candidate; the newspaper does not give Adam’s middle name or a unique profile bridge.

What the notice says
Cookstown Academy seeks a classical/commercial teacher; Mr Robert Glasgow, chairman of the superintending committee, is the Cookstown applicant contact. Dated 28 October 1840. A separate Townsend-street soirée passage says Rev. Adam Glasgow opened the proceedings on Tuesday evening, 27 October 1840; Rev. Josias Wilson closed with prayer. This is distinct from the Cookstown Academy passage about Robert Glasgow.
Evidence and identity limits
The notices name roles, not his age or family. The 1836 contact is not explicitly described as innkeeper or owner. The Academy is not described as a Sunday school. Consolidated as a same-name Cookstown research account; identity between the notices, the mill partner, Robert-2656 and Robert-3941 remains unproved. Neither notice identifies the already-deceased father of the surgeon. The Adam Glasgow passage is a distinct occurrence; no kinship with James or Robert Glasgow is implied. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 30 Oct 1840: Mr Robert Glasgow is chairman of the Cookstown Academy committee, and a separate Townsend Street soiree on 27 Oct was opened by Rev. Adam Glasgow. Adam is Glasgow-1781 (probable). Robert is most plausibly Robert Glasgow Esq. of Tullyreagh (Glasgow-2656), but only possible.
[b. c. 1798; d. 1856-08-20] · chairman, Cookstown Academy superintending committeeWhy this candidate?
A committee chairman would be a man of local standing. Glasgow-2656 is 'Robert Glasgow, Esq.', who died at Tullyreagh, Cookstown, on 20 Aug 1856 (Londonderry Sentinel 29 Aug 1856, transcription); his age (b. c.1798) fits. Slater's 1846 also lists a Robert Glasgow, oatmeal merchant, William Street, Cookstown, who may be the same man. Nothing links the chairman to Tullyreagh. Glasgow-3941 died in 1831 per the catalogue, a concrete conflict, so unlikely. Glasgow-587 (b. c.1830) is too young.

Identity unresolved. The printed name is Rev. A. J. Glasgow, with no expanded forename, age, congregation, kin or birthplace. Glasgow-1781 is possible despite the material printed-J / other-notice D conflict; Glasgow-1780 is unlikely given the documented Bombay chronology.

What the notice says
Margaret Jane, infant daughter of Rev. James Glasgow, missionary to Kattywar for the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, died at Rajkote, East Indies, on 11 June 1841, aged two months and 26 days. This agrees with Margaret Jane Glasgow-2898’s current death date and its 16 March birth chronology.
Evidence and identity limits
Strong matching name, father, place and date support Glasgow-2898 and her already attached father Glasgow-1780. The notice does not name her mother or birthplace. Mary Wightman-3457 remains a mother hypothesis for this child pending a direct record or documented family bridge; the already recorded father is corroborated, not a new uncertain-to-certain relationship upgrade. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 10 Sep 1841: Margaret Jane, infant daughter of Rev. James Glasgow, missionary to Kattywar, died at Rajkote on 11 June 1841 aged 2 months 26 days. The child is Glasgow-2898 and the father Glasgow-1780 (already linked). Read with the 1840 marriage and the Dictionary of Ulster Biography, her mother is Mary Wightman-3457. That link is missing and is proposed as uncertain.

What the notice says
Under “GENERAL ASSEMBLY’S FOREIGN MISSION—SICKNESS AND DEATH OF THE REV. A. KERR,” the newspaper says a communication from Rev. Mr. Glasgow was read about fellow missionary Alexander Kerr. The letter is dated “Rajkote, 14th August, 1841” and is signed “James Glasgow.” In this context “brother missionary” means colleague/fellow worker, not a biological brother. A separate second letter dated 18 August begins below the signature; its author/signature is outside this crop and should not be attributed by adjacency.
Evidence and identity limits
The signed India-mission letter is a probable match to Glasgow-1780 in the established career sequence. The letter’s date (14 August) is separate from the newspaper publication date (19 October). Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 19 Oct 1841: a letter dated Rajkote 14 Aug 1841 and signed James Glasgow on the illness and death of Rev. Alexander Kerr.

What the notice says
Under “MARRIED”: “On the 30th ult. by the Rev. Dr. Cooke, at the house of the lady’s uncle, Thomas Corbett, Esq. May-street, the Rev. Adam Glasgow to Miss Jane Thompson.”
Evidence and identity limits
The notice records Rev. Adam Glasgow as groom and Miss Jane Thompson as bride, married on 30 December 1841 (derived from “30th ult.” in the 4 January 1842 issue). Thomas Corbett is described as the bride’s uncle; no parentage or family branch is stated. May-street identifies the house where the notice says the wedding took place, not Adam’s residence. This is compatible with, but does not prove, identification of the bride as the tree-linked Jane Fulton (Thompson) Glasgow or the groom as Glasgow-1781. Keep the profile/spouse matches qualified. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 4 Jan 1842: Rev. Adam Glasgow married Miss Jane Thompson on 30 Dec 1841 at the house of her uncle Thomas Corbett, May Street, Belfast. The NZ register says Adam Dickie Glasgow of Berry Street married Jane Thompson of Co. Down (b. 1822), so both identities are strong: Glasgow-1781 and Thompson-100184, already linked as spouses.

“Designation of Four Missionaries of the General Assembly”: the Presbytery of Belfast set apart four ministers as fellow-labourers in Hindostan with Rev. James Glasgow: Rev. Adam Glasgow, James M’Kee, Robert Montgomery, and James Henry Spears.
Evidence and identity limits
The source is a missionary account, not the adjacent Repeal report. James McClure Glasgow-1780 is a probable match to Rev. James Glasgow from his documented Presbyterian Church in Ireland missionary career. Adam Dickie Glasgow-1781 is a possible match to Rev. Adam Glasgow based on his checked minister profile, but the article supplies no middle name or other identity bridge. Their co-occurrence establishes no kinship. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal, 14 Jan 1842: the Presbytery of Belfast designated four missionaries (Rev. Adam Glasgow, James M'Kee, Robert Montgomery and James Henry Spears) to join Rev. James Glasgow in Hindostan. Adam is Glasgow-1781 and James is Glasgow-1780, both strong.

What the notice says
Under the designation of four missionaries to India, the report names the Rev. Adam Glasgow and says he was “brother of the Rev. Jas. Glasgow.” The ceremony is reported as a Belfast Presbytery service at Dr. Cooke’s church, May Street.
Evidence and identity limits
The report explicitly describes the named Rev. Adam Glasgow as brother of Rev. Jas. Glasgow. This wording corroborates the already documented Adam/James sibling relationship in James McClure Glasgow’s first-person journal and the Knox Church history; do not treat this as an additional independent relationship or a certainty upgrade. Adam Dickie Glasgow-1781 and James McClure Glasgow-1780 remain compatible profile candidates, but the newspaper does not spell out either middle name or uniquely identify either person. This is a report of the same missionary-designation service also reported by the Freeman’s Journal on 14 January 1842; independence between reports is not assumed. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 14 Jan 1842: at the designation of four missionaries, Rev. Adam Glasgow is called 'brother of the Rev. Jas. Glasgow'. Both identities are strong, and the NZ register independently names Adam's brother as Dr James Glasgow. The brothers are already linked through shared parents.

Marriage notice: On 14 January 1842, Mr John Kyle of Tyanee married Nancy, sixth daughter of Mr Adam Glasgow of Inishrush, county Derry.
Evidence and identity limits
Identifies the already documented Nancy Glasgow-3907 and father Adam Glasgow-3902; direct evidence for father-child relationship and marriage, with no age, mother, or place of marriage stated. Separate preceding notice uses Glasgow as Rev John Rogers’s place, not surname. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 1 Feb 1842: John Kyle of Tyanee married Nancy, sixth daughter of Mr Adam Glasgow of Inishrush, Co. Derry, on 14 Jan 1842. Nancy Glasgow-3907, Adam Glasgow-3902 and John Kyle-3461 are already linked as daughter and father and as spouses. The Londonderry Sentinel of 29 Jan 1842 reports the same marriage.
Nancy Glasgow of Inishrush, daughter of Adam-3902 and spouse of Kyle-3461. Her name, her father's name, Inishrush and the groom together form a record-level bridge, and there is no competing Nancy.
[b. c. 1758; d. 1844-06-30] · bride's fatherWhy this candidate?
'Of Inishrush' is a unique designation in 1842, and Adam-3902 (d. 1844) is already Nancy's linked father. The later Adam of Inishrush (Glasgow-2419, b. 1853) is excluded by chronology. His son Adam-1622 (b. c.1794) is a much weaker alternative. [Independent check 6 October 2026: downgrade — 'Of Inishrush' is not unique. Adam Glasgow-1622 is a separate, record-defined Adam (named as father of James, 38, farmer of Inishrush, in the 1851 marriage). The local findings keep him distinct, and his being 3902's son is 'not proved'. A sixth daughter marrying in 1842 fits Adam-1622 (b. by c.1792) at least as well as 3902 (b. c.1758, wife Rose b. 1767; Nancy's guessed 1822 birth is impossible for Rose)
The profile already records John Kyle as Nancy-3907's husband; name and marriage agree.

What the notice says
The 5 April 1842 Belfast News-Letter passage invokes “Glasgow in India” in a comparison of missionary and clerical conduct in the Indies and Ireland. It names no forename and describes no particular event.
Evidence and identity limits
The surrounding passage treats Glasgow as an individual missionary in India, not a place. James McClure Glasgow-1780 is a probable contextual candidate because his documented missionary career places him in India in this period; this surname-only comparison does not identify him by forename or independently prove the profile assignment, origin, or any family relationship. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 5 Apr 1842: a surname-only reference to 'Glasgow in India'. Probably James McClure Glasgow-1780; Adam-1781 had only been designated in Jan 1842.
[b. 1805-05-27; d. 1890-06-30] · missionary referred toWhy this candidate?
James had been in India since Feb 1841 and was the established Glasgow missionary there. Adam was designated in Jan 1842 and reached Rajkot by 16 May 1842 (BNL 29 Jul 1842), so he is a weaker competitor for an April 1842 reference. [Independent check 6 October 2026: downgrade — A surname-only rhetorical reference with no forename or event. Adam was designated in Jan 1842 and wrote from Rajkote on 16 May 1842, so he may already have been in India. A single contextual agreement does not reach probable.]

A separate editorial passage says: “The Rev. James Glasgow is much to be envied. The first Moderator of the first Indian Presbytery—he who stood alone among millions of heathens—will occupy an honoured page in the history of Christian missions.” Publication date is 29 July 1842. The same issue separately prints a letter by Rev. Adam Glasgow, datelined Rajkote, 16 May 1842; that date belongs to Adam’s letter, not to the James editorial.
Evidence and identity limits
The named James is a probable match to Glasgow-1780 in the documented Castledawson/India missionary sequence. The editorial supplies no full middle name or kinship statement; Adam’s adjacent letter is a distinct source passage. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 29 Jul 1842: an editorial praises Rev. James Glasgow as 'first Moderator of the first Indian Presbytery', and a separate letter by Rev.

Moneymore is where he was examined, not an explicit home townland. The date of his examination, age and relatives are unstated. Cookstown farmers Samuel-2054 and Samuel-1698 are compatible; Lisnagaver Samuel-2908 is a weaker regional comparison, without a locality or occupation bridge. No connection to Lisnagaver is established. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal, 19 Mar 1845 (images 1050103241 and 1380777866): Samuel Glasgow, a farmer examined at Moneymore by the Devon Commission, describes reclamation on Sir Thomas Staples's land in his neighbourhood. Glasgow-2054 is a possible candidate, with Glasgow-1698 equally compatible.
[b. c. 1792; d. 1865-06-22] · farmer examined at MoneymoreWhy this candidate?
The Staples estate centred on Lissan, between Cookstown and Moneymore. Glasgow-2054 (c.1792-1865, Gortin, Derryloran) was a Cookstown farmer whose son John-2537 died at Cluntyganny, Lissan, which slightly favours him. Glasgow-1698 (c.1800-1857, Killycurragh) is equally compatible. Glasgow-2908 (Lisnagaver, Rasharkin, Co. Antrim) lives far from Moneymore, so he is weaker, but no concrete conflict excludes him.

Marriage notice reports that on 25th ult at Paisley George Sherbrooke Airey, Esq., Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, son of the late Lieutenant-General Sir George Airey, married Anne, second daughter of the late Robert Glasgow, Esq.; at the same time Rev George Drake, son of Rev John Drake, rector of Stourton, married Charlotte Maria Cecilia, youngest daughter of the late Robert Glasgow, Esq., of Montgreenan, county Ayr. Original passage visually checked. 25 August 1847 is inferred from ‘25th ult’ and the 2 September issue date.
Evidence and identity limits
The notice directly reports the two marriages and names the two brides as daughters of the same late Robert Glasgow; it explicitly places the latter Robert at Montgreenan, Ayr. Robertson-30564 is a probable candidate for this Robert because his local profile account says he inherited Montgreenan, took the Glasgow surname in 1828, and died in 1845; do not conflate him with Glasgow-1076 (1747–1827). Anne Glasgow-3000 is a possible daughter match; Charlotte Glasgow-3003 is a strong compatible match by her distinctive names and existing Drake profile link; Rev George Drake-13873 is a probable match. No compatible George Sherbrooke Airey profile was found in the bounded approved local lookup. Record-level father and marriage claims are separate from assigning the record people to profiles; profile-level relationship transitions remain pending, with prior local status unknown/tree-only. The notice names no mothers and says nothing about Irish origin. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal, 2 Sep 1847: a double wedding at Paisley on 25 Aug 1847. Lt George Sherbrooke Airey RN married Anne, second daughter, and Rev George Drake married Charlotte Maria Cecilia, youngest daughter, of the late Robert Glasgow Esq. of Montgreenan. The father is Robertson-30564 (strong): he died in 1845, his son lived to 1860, and Dr Robert Glasgow (d. 1827) had no issue. Charlotte-3003 is strong, Anne-3000 and Drake-13873 probable. Airey has no profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: George Sherbrooke Airey, Esq., Lieutenant R.N..
[b. 1775-11-06; d. 1845-01-27] · father of both bridesWhy this candidate?
Unique designation 'of Montgreenan', described as 'the late' in Sept 1847. Of the Montgreenan owners: Dr Robert Glasgow-1076 died in 1827 with no offspring (Wikipedia), so he is excluded. Robert Robertson of Prenderguest, son-in-law, inherited in 1828 and took the name Glasgow; the LBS claim names 'Robert Glasgow Esq. (late Robertson) and Anne his wife'. His son Robert Robertson-Glasgow inherited in 1845 and lived to 1860 (thepeerage), so he cannot be 'the late' in 1847. Only Robertson-30564 survives.

At Surat, East Indies, the wife of Rev. James Glasgow, Presbyterian Church in Ireland missionary, gave birth to a daughter on 22 February, reported on 11 April 1848. The child is unnamed; Annie Coulson Glasgow-2901, whose checked profile gives 1848 in India, is a compatible candidate.
Evidence and identity limits
1848 is inferred from the contemporary notice’s February date. Neither child nor mother is named. The notice cannot alone make Annie’s exact birth date/place certain or establish Mary Wightman’s motherhood of another child. Her existing father/mother connections are not changed. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 11 Apr 1848: the wife of Rev. James Glasgow gave birth to a daughter at Surat on 22 Feb 1848. The child is probably Annie Coulson Glasgow-2901, the only daughter the Dictionary of Ulster Biography lists for 1848. Both parent links already exist.
The Dictionary of Ulster Biography lists the daughters as Margaret Jane (1841), Jane Henrie (c.1844), Mary Elizabeth (1845), Annie Coulson (1848) and Harriet (1851). Annie Coulson is the only one born in 1848, and the profile gives 1848, India.

What the notice says
Cookstown—John Glasgow, merchant, in John Cassell’s coffee agent list on 30 September 1848. The original product text and agents were inspected.
Evidence and identity limits
Glasgow-2058 is compatible by name, Cookstown district and the merchant occupation independently recorded in Benjamin-2059’s 1856 marriage. None of these advertisements names relatives, age or street address. Repeated agent lists are advertisements for one trading role, not independent family proofs. John’s parents remain unknown. Glasgow-1968 remains a weaker comparison: his family histories give migration to Michigan in 1844 or 1848; the Drummeen tithe and 1850/1851 probate leads are not securely assigned to him, and probate year is not a death date. Identity review (6 October 2026): Sligo Champion, 30 Sep 1848: John Glasgow, merchant, Cookstown, in John Cassell's list of coffee agents. Glasgow-2058 is a possible candidate. New lead: the Londonderry Sentinel reports that Mr John Glasgow, merchant, died at Cookstown on 4 May 1851 aged 49, which conflicts with 2058's 1788 birth estimate.
[b. before 1788; d. ?] · coffee and tea agentWhy this candidate?
Glasgow-2058 fits by name, trade and district: he is the father of merchant Benjamin-2059 (married 1856). The Londonderry Sentinel of 9 May 1851 (transcription) reads 'At Cookstown, on the 4th inst., aged 49 years, Mr. John Glasgow, merchant', so this merchant was born c.1802. If he is Glasgow-2058, the 1788 birth estimate is wrong, and Henry-1735 (b. c.1810) could not be his son. Glasgow-1968 is weaker, since his family histories have him emigrating to Michigan in 1844 or 1848. Glasgow-2056 (1812-1898) is not the 1851 decedent. Slater's 1846 lists no John Glasgow in Cookstown trades.

A further original advertisement in the 1848–1850 Cookstown trading sequence, including Cassell tea as well as coffee. Repeated advertisements do not provide independent family proof. John Glasgow-2058 remains compatible by name, locality and merchant occupation; no age, address, parents or uncle link appears.

What the notice says
Master Benjamin Glasgow of Cookstown is listed for one shilling towards support of scholars in the agricultural school in June 1850.
Evidence and identity limits
A donor list, not proof that Benjamin attended the school. “Master” supplies no exact age. Benjamin-2059 (reported born about 1835) and Benjamin-2566 (about 1840) are compatible young catalogue namesakes; assignment to either, or to the Drapersfield Benjamin, is unresolved. The surgeon who died in 1833 is excluded. Identity review (6 October 2026): Subscription list (Belfast News-Letter, 28 Jun 1850): 'Master Benjamin Glasgow of Cookstown' gave one shilling to the agricultural school. Three Cookstown Benjamins are compatible and none is proved; no relationships.
[b. c. 1835; d. 1870-02-08] · subscriber (boy)Why this candidate?
'Master' marks a boy or youth, with no age. Glasgow-2059 (b. c.1835; aged 20 at his April 1856 marriage, son of John, merchant) would be about 15 in 1850, which fits. Glasgow-2566 (b. c.1840, son of George, farmer, Killycurragh) would be about 10, which also fits. The Drapersfield Benjamin, Glasgow-4340, was managing his father's mill from 1850 (1858 testimony), so 'Master' fits him less well, though his birth year is unknown. The 1833 surgeon is excluded because he died before this. Nothing in the list discriminates, so possible only.

What the notice says
John Glasgow is listed at Cookstown among agents selling John Cassell’s coffees.
Evidence and identity limits
The advertisement states the agent’s name, Cookstown and the coffee product. It gives no merchant title, age, street address or kin. The August and October 1850 issues document the same named agency role; repeated advertisements are not independent family proof. Glasgow-2058 remains a possible match by the wider Cookstown and merchant chronology; Glasgow-1968 remains the weaker comparison because reported Michigan migration weakens a later Irish assignment.

(2) Glasgow-3814's 1883 civil death return (Loy, Cookstown; aged 87; bachelor) calls him a retired merchant. (3) A retirement in 1856 fits a man born c.1796.

What the notice says
The named witness Benjamin Glasgow identifies the late Robert Glasgow as his father, says he managed his father’s mill from 1850, and dates Robert’s death to 1856. Benjamin’s evidence describes a companion as “witness’s uncle, Mr. Glasgow, sen.”; identification as William belongs to the separate case context, not this quotation.
Evidence and identity limits
Certain documentary father–son relationship; identification of Robert with Glasgow-2656 or Glasgow-3941 remains qualified. Counsel’s reference to Robert’s sons supports a qualified brother inference for co-plaintiff William. The uncle’s paternal or maternal side and all mothers are unstated. No parents are established for John Glasgow-2058. Identity review (6 October 2026): Court report (Belfast News-Letter, 22 July 1858): the witness Benjamin Glasgow says his late father Robert Glasgow died in 1856 and that he had managed Robert's mill since 1850; he calls a companion 'witness's uncle, Mr. Glasgow, sen.' Benjamin is probably the Drapersfield Benjamin, Glasgow-4340, and Robert probably Glasgow-2656, so a father link 4340 to 2656 can be added as uncertain.
· witness and plaintiff, mill managerWhy this candidate?
Identity chain for the Drapersfield Benjamin: (a) he is co-plaintiff with William against Sloan in 1858, a mill water-course case, and testifies that he managed his late father Robert's mill from 1850; (b) 'Benjamin and William Glasgow, Drapersfield Mills, Cookstown' are the contacts in Jan 1864 for a house formerly occupied by the late Robert Glasgow; (c) 'Benjamin Glasgow of Drapersfield, Cookstown' married Wilhelmina Pike at Dungannon on 16 Feb 1864, the exact date and district of the GRONI index entry (M/1864/T1/1447/2/35) on Glasgow-4340, whose Cookstown children 1865-1876 have mother's maiden name Pike; (d) Slater's 1846 lists 'Glasgow & Wool[s], flax & tow spinners, Draper's field' an
[b. c. 1798; d. 1856-08-20] · father of witness; mill owner, d. 1856Why this candidate?
Robert died in 1856 (son's sworn testimony) and owned the mill Benjamin managed from 1850. Glasgow-2656, 'Robert Glasgow Esq', died 20 Aug 1856 at Tullyveigh, Cookstown (Prerogative probate 1856, PRONI pre-1858 wills index cited on profile), and married on 10 Mar 1829, as 'Mr Robert Glasgow, of Cookstown', Margaret, daughter of John George of Coagh (BNL 13 Mar 1829, quoted on George-14386). That fits a son of mill-managing age by 1850 and agrees with Slater 1846 (Robert Glasgow, oatmeal merchant; Glasgow & Wool[s] spinners, Draper's field). Naming supports it: Benjamin's eldest daughter is 'Margaret George Glasgow' (1891), and John George Glasgow-3889 (c.1831-1870; daughter married at Newry,
[b. c. 1796; d. 1883-07-04] · uncle of witnessWhy this candidate?
'Sen.' and the uncle relationship fit an older Cookstown Glasgow of Robert's generation. Glasgow-3814 (b. c.1796, the William St draper who retired in 1856, a bachelor at his death in 1883) is the only such man in the 1846 directory besides Robert. The forename is not given, and 'Mr. Glasgow' implies a paternal uncle or one by marriage bearing the name. Possible only.

What the notice says
Continuation of Benjamin and William Glasgow v John Sloan; Benjamin approached Sloan about levels in 1856; jury awarded 6d damages and 6d costs.
Evidence and identity limits
Confirms same named partners; no ages or additional parental identification. Identity review (6 October 2026): Continuation of Benjamin and William Glasgow v John Sloan (Belfast News-Letter, 23 July 1858): Benjamin approached Sloan about levels in 1856, and the jury awarded 6d damages and 6d costs. Benjamin is probably Glasgow-4340. Partner William has no secure profile; he is probably Benjamin's brother but is not stated as such here.
Same case as 22 July 1858. The identity chain (partnership naming shared with the 1864 Drapersfield Mills notice; Drapersfield marriage on 4340's exact GRONI date) is given in group 390574459.
[b. c. 1796; d. 1883-07-04] · co-plaintiff (mill partner)Why this candidate?
The partner William of Drapersfield Mills (1858-1866) has no secure profile. Counsel's reference to Robert's sons (22 July report) makes him probably Benjamin's brother. If so, Glasgow-1737 conflicts, because his 1846 marriage names his father David and he was a Killycurragh farmer, so he is unlikely. The other option is the uncle, Glasgow-3814 (bachelor draper, retired 1856), who could have stayed a mill partner. The 1858 evidence names 'Mr. Glasgow, sen.' separately from the co-plaintiff, which favours a younger William. Glasgow-1694 and -2316 are farmers with no mill link. Possible against 3814 only; no draft until the partnership is resolved.

What the notice says
Shocking catastrophe at Rasharkin: Robt. Glasgow, described as a neighbour at Lisnagaver, warned James M’Caughern about a dangerous gable before it fell; Glasgow narrowly escaped while leaving the doorway and raised the alarm.
Evidence and identity limits
Genuine Glasgow surname in a local incident. Robert-938 and Robert-3449 remain compatible candidates; no age, parents, occupation or link to a valuation holding is stated. A later Scottish death does not exclude Robert-938 being in Ireland in 1861. Identity review (6 October 2026): Accident report (Belfast News-Letter, 7 Jan 1861) from Rasharkin: Robert Glasgow, a neighbour at Lisnagaver, warned James M'Caughern about a dangerous gable, escaped its fall and raised the alarm. Robert is probably Glasgow-938, who lived at Lisnagaver in 1851 and 1866. James M'Caughern is unresolved. No kin are stated.
[b. about 1840–1841; d. 1902-11-27] · neighbour at LisnagaverWhy this candidate?
Glasgow-938 (b. c.1840) was in his father Alexander's Lisnagaver household in the 1851 census (age 10), and his 5 Apr 1866 civil marriage calls him a bachelor farmer of Lisnagaver. Lisnagaver residence is documented on both sides of 1861. Competitors: Glasgow-3449 (b. c.1797, married labourer, died in Ballymoney Workhouse 1868) is linked to Lisnagaver only by an unproved 1834 tithe candidacy; Robert Irvine Glasgow-3897 (b. 1827) belongs to Daniel's Kilrea family. Probable, not strong: no age or father is given.
WikiTree has McCaughern-22 (James, farmer, father of John McCaughern of Gortereghy, 1851 Rasharkin marriage; probable 1834 Gortereghy tithe occupier) and Mc_Caughern-19 (James, 1824-1889, Ballydonnelly, Rasharkin; Ancestry-tree source only). Robert-938 later held a house at Gortereghy (1864 revision), which slightly favours McCaughern-22. Possible only. Robert-938's mother Mary McCaughan has a similar surname, but no kinship is stated.

Benjamin is the Drapersfield Benjamin Glasgow-4340, and the late Robert is probably Glasgow-2656. No kinship is stated.
[b. c. 1798; d. 1856-08-20] · former resident of the houseWhy this candidate?
As group 390574459 (1856 death, 'of Cookstown' 1829 marriage to Margaret George, Slater 1846 Robert and the Draper's field spinning firm). Here the late Robert's former house is handled by the Drapersfield mill partners, which ties the mill-owner Robert of 1858 to the Drapersfield firm. Glasgow-3941 (d. 1831) is unlikely.
A Drapersfield Benjamin acting in Jan 1864, four weeks before 'Benjamin Glasgow of Drapersfield' married at Dungannon on the exact date indexed on 4340 (GRONI M/1864/T1/1447/2/35).

What the notice says
Benjamin Glasgow of Drapersfield, Cookstown, married Wilhelmina, eldest daughter of Richard Pike, Esq., of Beechgrove, Dungannon, at Dungannon on 16 February 1864.
Evidence and identity limits
The original notice gives his wife and her father but no groom age or father. It belongs to the consolidated Drapersfield account; do not assign Wilhelmina as mother of every later child without further evidence. Identity review (6 October 2026): Marriage notice (Belfast News-Letter, 18 Feb 1864): Benjamin Glasgow of Drapersfield, Cookstown, married Wilhelmina, eldest daughter of Richard Pike Esq. of Beechgrove, Dungannon, at Dungannon on 16 Feb 1864. The groom is Glasgow-4340. The bride is Wilhelmina Pike-9903 (Quaker birth 1842, eldest child of Richard Pike-9902). The 'Unknown Pike' Pike-17078 now married to 4340 is the same woman and should be merged into Pike-9903.
Glasgow-4340 rests on the GRONI index 'Benjamin Glasgow and Pike, 16 February 1864, Dungannon district' (M/1864/T1/1447/2/35). Date, district and bride's surname are exact. His Cookstown children with mother's maiden name Pike include Richard (b. 10 Apr 1865, named for Richard Pike) and Margaret (b. 7 Nov 1867, the 'eldest daughter' of 1891). No other Benjamin Glasgow/Glascow/Glasco is married to a Pike. 2059 (married Jane Little 1856) and 2566 (bachelor in 1876) are excluded.
Pike-9903 is 'Wilhemina' [sic] Pike, born 11 Nov 1842 at Torren Hill, Co. Tyrone, daughter of Richard and Margaret Pike (Grange Quaker birth register, cited on profile). She is the first child of Richard-9902 (married 1842), so she exactly fits 'eldest daughter'. Pike-17078 ('Unknown' Pike, est. b. 1839, spouse of Glasgow-4340, created from the marriage index without a forename) is the same woman. Propose merging 17078 into 9903 and correcting the spelling to Wilhelmina. Searches for Wilhelmina/Minnie Pike and Wilhelmina Glasgow found no other candidate.
Pike-9902 Richard Pike was born 13 June 1815 at Beechgrove (Quaker birth register) and died 3 Feb 1885 at Dungannon, 'of Beechgrove'. That is a unique designation, and his eldest child is Wilhelmina, b. 1842. His father Jonathan of Beechgrove died in 1860. His son Richard (b. 1856) was too young. No competitor.

Later identity control: current action after Benjamin-2059’s February death strongly distinguishes the two Benjamins. Identity review (6 October 2026): Report (Belfast News-Letter, 15 July 1870): Benjamin Glasgow Esq. of Drapersfield lent a field for the 12 July gathering at Cookstown. This is firmly Glasgow-4340. Benjamin-2059 (died Feb 1870) is excluded, and Glasgow-2566, the earlier possible, is unlikely.
· lent field for 12 July gatheringWhy this candidate?
'Of Drapersfield' is the unique designation of the Benjamin who married Wilhelmina Pike in 1864 (= 4340). His Pike-mothered children were still registered at Cookstown in 1872 and 1876. Glasgow-2059 died 8 Feb 1870, so he is excluded. Glasgow-2566 is unlikely: his 11 Jan 1876 marriage register describes him as the unmarried son of George, farmer of Killycurragh, while the Drapersfield Benjamin was a married mill owner whose Pike wife bore twins at Cookstown in Aug 1876. These are simultaneous different households.

Brooke Broadbent, formerly of Manchester, in New York on 5 Oct 1891. She is Glasgow-4293 (b. 1867, mother Pike), daughter of Benjamin Glasgow-4340, so that father link can be confirmed. Broadbent needs a new profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: W. Brooke Broadbent.
· bride, eldest daughter of Benjamin GlasgowWhy this candidate?
The father's Drapersfield designation identifies Benjamin-4340 (married Wilhelmina Pike 1864). Glasgow-4293 Margaret was born 7 Nov 1867 in Cookstown district, mother's maiden name Pike (GRONI U/1867/98/1009/2/171), and is the earliest-born daughter among 4340's recorded children (Richard 1865 is a son), which fits 'eldest daughter'. Her age (~23) fits. Other Cookstown-area Margaret Glasgows born 1855-1875 (2021, 1798, 4301, 2029, 2252, 1792, 4335) have other parents. 'George' as a middle name is new and matches the surname of her probable grandmother Margaret George.

What the notice says
GRAHAM: Jane Graham, wife of Robert Glasgow, died 28 December at 534 Gallowgate, Glasgow, aged 51; “formerly of Rasharkin.”
Evidence and identity limits
Original enlarged notice strongly matches Jane Graham-21720 and spouse Robert Glasgow-938 on name, spouse, exact address and death date 28 December 1891. Supporting an existing marriage, not a parent confidence upgrade. The Rasharkin phrase follows Robert’s name; do not assign it exclusively to Jane. Identity review (6 October 2026): Death notice (Belfast News-Letter, 6 Jan 1892): Jane Graham, wife of Robert Glasgow, died 28 Dec 1891 at 534 Gallowgate, Glasgow, aged 51, 'formerly of Rasharkin'. She is Graham-21720 and her husband Robert Glasgow-938; the marriage is already on WikiTree.
[b. c. 1839-07-31; d. 1891-12-28] · deceased wifeWhy this candidate?
Exact address 534 Gallowgate, exact date 28 Dec 1891 and age 51 agree with the ScotlandsPeople death entry cited on the profile, and the husband is named Robert Glasgow. No duplicate was found.
[b. about 1840–1841; d. 1902-11-27] · husbandWhy this candidate?
Spouse of Graham-21720 by their 5 Apr 1866 civil marriage (bachelor farmer of Lisnagaver, Rasharkin). He was in Glasgow from 1867 and died at 58 East Rose St, Glasgow, in 1902. 'Formerly of Rasharkin' fits.

What the notice says
W. G. Glasgow, B.A., a student of Tyrone Presbytery, accepted the unanimous First Dromara call at the Cookstown meeting of 28 January.
Evidence and identity limits
Strong match to Rev. William George Glasgow-2135 by initials, qualification, church and the live profile’s December 1896 Dromara marriage. This is acceptance of a call, not proof of ordination or parentage. Identity review (6 October 2026): Church report (Belfast News-Letter, 30 Jan 1896): W. G. Glasgow, B.A., a student of Tyrone Presbytery, accepted the unanimous call from First Dromara at Cookstown on 28 Jan 1896. This is firmly Rev. William George Glasgow-2135; no kin are named.
[b. 1868-06-05; d. 1918-01-25] · licentiate accepting call to First DromaraWhy this candidate?
Initials, B.A., Tyrone Presbytery (Cookstown) origin and Dromara all agree with Glasgow-2135, Rev. William George Glasgow (b. 5 June 1868, Cookstown; 'Rev. Glasgow B.A., Dromara' at his Dec 1896 marriage to Margaret Isabella Bertram; died minister in 1918). A local Dromara history lists 'Rev. W.G. Glasgow' among the ministers. No other W. G.

What the notice says
Henry Little Glasgow married on 16 March 1897 at Ballywillan Presbyterian Church. The contemporary notice names him second son of the late Benjamin of Cookstown, editor of the Mid-Ulster Mail and Dungannon News, and brother of Rev. W. G. Glasgow, B.A., Dromara.
Evidence and identity limits
Strong profile match on name, occupation, wedding date and brother. The live profile’s attributed 1950 obituary calls him third son; preserve the discrepancy. Existing family support, not a newly certain live parent link. Identity review (6 October 2026): Marriage notice (Belfast News-Letter, 19 Mar 1897): Henry Little Glasgow, second son of the late Benjamin Glasgow of Cookstown, editor of the Mid-Ulster Mail and Dungannon News, and brother of Rev. W. G. Glasgow, B.A., Dromara, married at Ballywillan Presbyterian Church on 16 March 1897. The notice firmly identifies Henry (Glasgow-2131), his father Benjamin-2059 and his brother W.G.-2135, and supports marking Henry's father link confident.
[b. c. 1866-03-06; d. 1950-12-24] · groomWhy this candidate?
Full name, editor of the Mid-Ulster Mail (founded 1891 by Henry and John), Cookstown, and marriage date agree. The profile's GRONI index shows Henry Glasgow and Staunton, 16 Mar 1897, Coleraine district (which covers Ballywillan). His named brother is the Dromara minister. 'Second son' differs from the 1950 obituary's 'third son'; the first son, John George, died in 1857. Keep the discrepancy.
[b. c. 1835; d. 1870-02-08] · groom's fatherWhy this candidate?
Henry's middle name Little equals the maiden name of Benjamin-2059's wife Jane Little (married 1856), and 2059 died in 1870. The Drapersfield Benjamin-4340 is excluded: he had a Pike wife and was alive in Hull in 1891.

Original page visually checked. The notice names the bride “Margaret Glasgow” and calls her the eldest daughter of Rev. J. G. M’Gowan, Orritor.

The lower clipping/page content is partially obscured/cropped; the exact relationship between “Glasgow” and “Charon” remains uncertain. No personal surname reading is supported by this passage.

Position 6 (vessel): Steam-packet advertisement headed ‘For Greenock and Glasgow’; it names the Clyde Steam Navigation Company's vessels, including Thetis, Captain William Stewart, sailing from Belfast. A later ‘From Glasgow’ heading gives return sailings. Image loaded and advertisement legible; the passage is sufficiently visible to identify Glasgow as route destination/origin, not a person. Position 7 (vessel): Continuation of the steam-packet advertisement: sailing schedule under ‘From Glasgow,’ followed by cabin/steerage fares and shipping-agent information for the advertised steamers. Image loaded; visible continuation is legible, with no relevant text clipped. Glasgow is a route place. Position 8 (place): In the Lough Neagh drainage bill's townland/parish schedule, ‘Culmore, Gortoreagh, and Tamlaght, in the parish of Kilconway’ is followed by ‘Rasharkin, in the barony of Kilconway’ and a list of townlands. Image loaded and schedule legible; highlighted place is visible with surrounding locality list. No material clipping. Position 9 (place): “First Class Steam Packets for Greenock, Glasgow & Carlisle”; “For Glasgow, calling at Greenock”; “From Glasgow”; Glasgow agents listed below. The highlighted Glasgow references are the Scottish city/port in steam-packet routes and agency context, not a personal surname or vessel name.

What the notice says
Position 4 (place): Drainage notice for Lough Neagh lists “the Barony of Upper Dunluce, in the parishes of Finvoy and Rasharkin, in the barony of Kilconway…” Rasharkin is a parish/locality in the legal description of a proposed drainage district. No Glasgow surname is visible in this position. Position 8 (place): Same Lough Neagh drainage notice: “…Culmore, Gorteregh, and Rasharkin, in the barony of Kilconway…” Rasharkin is a locality in a list of townlands/places within the proposed works. This is a separate visible mention in the same notice, not a person. Position 9 (place): “First Class Steam Packets for Greenock, Glasgow & Carlisle”; “For Glasgow, calling at Greenock”; schedule from Belfast; “From Glasgow”; agents in Glasgow at 9 Buchanan-street.

What the notice says
Position 7 (place): A separate transport/railway advertisement in the right column mentions Glasgow in a route/service and fares context; the visible matching Glasgow is a city/destination. The central Grand Jury road notice separately mentions Rasharkin. The Glasgow text is partly clipped at the top/right; it is separate from the Rasharkin road notice. No Glasgow personal surname is indicated. Position 8 (place): Under “Steam Communication,” the notice says steamers are intended to sail “from Belfast to Fleetwood, London, Glasgow, via Ardrossan, Whitehaven, Liverpool, and Stranraer.” Glasgow is a destination in a steamer route.

What the notice says
Position 9 (place): The shipping advertisement says “For Greenock and Glasgow,” naming the ports served by the Clyde Steam Navigation Company’s vessel The Thetis, Captain William Stewart. This hit is Glasgow as a route endpoint/port. Passage also names a vessel, but Glasgow itself is not a vessel or surname. Position 10 (place): The same page’s timetable has a “FROM GLASGOW” sailing schedule; the surrounding ad is for the Clyde line/steam packet service.

Position 2 (vessel): “The fine screw steamer City of Glasgow, celebrated for the regularity of her trips between Glasgow and New York, has been sold for £40,000 to a Liverpool house, to ply between that port and Philadelphia…” “City of Glasgow” is the steamer name; other Glasgow mentions in the same sentence refer to the route/cities. Position 3 (other): “…The Earls of Antrim, Wicklow, Meath, Glasgow, &c.” Glasgow is in a list of earldom titles, not a personal surname occurrence. The clipped wider paragraph concerns named eminent patrons/associates. Position 4 (place): “September 23, at Rasharkin, the Rev. Wm.

703 pages catalogued · 556 original passages reviewed · 438 surname pages retained · 1 place-study page · 116 place/vessel/other-name pages excluded · 148 readings pending. Searches are selective and incomplete; these totals do not measure all newspaper holdings or all Glasgow mentions.
OCR hits and highlighted search words are leads. Saved excerpts may show only part of a notice; inspect the original page before treating a reading or namesake as proved. Missing issues, uneven digitisation, spelling variants and poor OCR can hide a relevant record. Free promotional access is temporary; original links may later require a subscription.
Search coverage and detailed qualifications
Irish pre-1800 priority search completed for the documented accessible result sets: broad surname queries, catalogue-led quoted names and abbreviations, and bounded spelling checks. Supplemental worldwide quoted-name and Glascow audits are recorded. Every confirmed pre-1800 page has an inline clipping. The 1800–1850 Irish extension remains in progress.
Coverage is a record of the named queries, provider collections, dates, loaded cards and actually screened positions. OCR omissions, name variants, unavailable titles and gaps in surviving holdings prevent a literal claim to every newspaper mention. A highlighted Glasgow can be a city, a vessel, a see, a military unit or another person’s address. Only inspected personal-surname passages are treated as surname evidence; clear preview dismissals are not full-page original exclusions. Original image, provider index/entity label and viewer OCR are different evidence. Viewer No matches can occur despite a printed name, as in the 1798 Secretary chest proclamation. Entity crime labels alone do not prove the name, a perpetrator or a conviction. Issue dates/pages normally follow provider metadata; checked printed masthead ranges and notice datelines are preserved separately. The 1793 Ordnance heading dates 25 and 27 September differ in parallel reports. No invented commission day or silently corrected year is supplied. Repeated advertisements and parallel archive scans are grouped by reading, with every issue/excerpt linked. They are not independent events or corroboration. Private-sale, adjournment and judicial-sale stages retain their distinct terms; offers do not establish completed transfers, bankruptcy or death. Approved inline PNGs are faithful bounded source pixels. Faded text and scan/fold damage remain visible and qualified; fuller parallel excerpts and originals remain linked. No full private viewer capture, reconstructed image or private browser state is published. Profile matches are confirmed, probable, possible or unlikely as individually assessed. Same name/locality, absent fields or a tree-only parent link do not identify a person. Uncertain before dates are upper bounds; estimated dates are not exact exclusions. An explicit documentary father–son statement does not identify either existing WikiTree profile. Postal addressees may be deceased; vessel William does not supply its master’s forename. Military selection or appointment reports do not prove completed service; allegations and proclamations retain their attribution. Core Irish pre-1800 displayed queries and promising original leads are closed. The 1800–1850 quoted-name pass records all 66 catalogue name forms in both Ireland and Northern Ireland (132 name/collection pairs), plus 15 bounded variant pairs. Current available result positions and promising surname passages have been reviewed; all verified retained surname pages have approved inline excerpts. Three provider limitations remain: John’s Ireland query is captured through the complete reported 108-image union of oldest/newest sorts without a physical End control; Ann’s Ireland query shows End after 13 cards against a 16-match header; Ellen’s current two-card run differs from a historic three-card run. A separately saved 1850 Margaret Glasgow marriage notice remains uncounted because Glasgow’s surname or given-name function is unresolved. These are bounded search and reading limits, not proof that every surviving newspaper mention has been found. OCR omissions, variants and unavailable titles remain outside a literal completeness claim; no live WikiTree relationship upgrade is claimed.
