Coverage, survival & limitations

Availability depends on the particular repository, locality, date range and record series. We have not established complete coverage for this collection. Follow each provider link for its holdings and access terms; a missing result is not proof of absence.

Reading the evidence: an index, transcript, provider search page and original image are different sources. A recorded image link does not mean its reading or identity match is confirmed. Inspect the assessment and source page before changing a family relationship. Repository guides checked 4 October 2026.

Reviewed newspaper notices

29 distinct notices from 46 retained pages, earliest first. Reprints of the same notice are merged; 46 pages have saved inline excerpts. Open a notice for its clipping, reading and profile assessment.

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.

What the notice says

James Glasgow, probationer, is reported ordained minister of the Castle in an Edinburgh-datelined notice.

Evidence and identity limits

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. He is the same man as the 1737 appointee: Glasgow-1140, strong.

Who this may be

[b. c. 1700-03-17; d. ?] · ordinand, minister of Edinburgh Castle
Why this candidate?

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). The full argument and competitor eliminations are in group 1142270617.

Identity review (6 October 2026): July 1751 report that Robert Glasgow was among nine Old Bailey convicts sentenced to death for robbing Joseph Weedon. The Ordinary's Account shows he was a butcher aged 28, born at Chipping Ongar, Essex. All three Scottish candidates conflict, so he has no WikiTree profile and needs a new one. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Robert Glasgow (new-profile draft pending).

Same named case as the 16 July sentence report, but a different reported action. John Young is the prisoner reprieved for life. This execution order does not establish that Robert was executed.

What the notice says

Robert Glasgow, master of the snow John and Archibald, of Glasgow, is reported arriving in distress during a Virginia-to-Glasgow passage.

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. The preceding Swanton vessel’s provisions and urine story in the Pennsylvania page belongs to a different vessel. No family or link to the 1751 defendant established. Identity review (6 October 2026): One 1754 distress report (three printings) of Robert Glasgow, master of the snow John and Archibald of Glasgow, on a Virginia-to-Glasgow passage. WikiTree already has a documentary profile for exactly this shipmaster, Glasgow-2867, built on the Maryland Gazette printing of the same Antigua report; the notice adds no kin. Glasgow-2474 (Irvine shipmaster 1738) is a possible earlier/later identity of the same man (merge question), not a separate match.

Who this may be

Why this candidate?

Glasgow-2867 is a profile whose biography is specifically 'Robert Glasgow was master of the snow John and Archibald, a vessel described in 1754 as of Glasgow', citing The Maryland Gazette no. 466 (11 Apr 1754) reprint of the St John's, Antigua, 15 Feb 1754 report and the Dublin Gazette reprint - the same report as these Pennsylvania Gazette/Gloucester Journal/Berrow's printings (same vessel, master, voyage Virginia-Glasgow, gale of 24 Jan 1754, lightning, Antigua). Name + unique vessel command + same dated event = record-level identity. Caveat: 2867's parents (William Glasgow-1026 and Ann McCook-217, status code 10, not confident) and 'death 1754 (after)' are not supported by this or any ins

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

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 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.

George Glasgow, of Manchester, is reported granted royal letters patent for fourteen years for the sole manufacture and vending of his cloth imitating women’s stitched stays.

Evidence and identity limits

Three issues report one fourteen-year royal patent. George is styled of Manchester; birth origin, later residence, family and individual identity with the Scottish merchant or officers are unproved.

This subject remains separate from the Glasgow merchant and military subjects. Identity review (6 October 2026): 1762 royal patent to George Glasgow of Manchester. The State Papers petition shows he was a working weaver of Manchester, joint patentee with Robert Elsden, a London weaver, for weaving quilted cloth in the loom.

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).

(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. That is the man in this notice. (2) Paterson, Ayr II, says Robert Glasgow (b.1747, son of Robert of Puddockholm) 'gained a fortune in St Vincent's' and died at Mountgreenan House on 19 April 1827.

What the notice says

Samuel Glasgow, pen-cutter, formerly of Shaftesbury Place, Aldersgate Street, and afterwards Webber Street, Surrey Road, is item 70 in an Amicable Society notice concerning deaths in 1794 (Old Style).

Evidence and identity limits

Heading dated 10 July 1795, printed 14 and 15 July. Preserve Old Style wording; no exact death day is given. This reported London death conditionally conflicts with the later uncertain or estimated deaths of the American candidates. No supported identity match. Identity review (6 October 2026): July 1795 Amicable Society notice listing Samuel Glasgow, pen-cutter, of Shaftesbury Place, Aldersgate Street, later Webber Street, Surrey Road, among members who died in 1794. He is a London tradesman with no WikiTree profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Samuel Glasgow (new-profile draft pending).

What the notice says

County of Ayr, Ayr, 13 January 1808: Robert Morris of Craig, for himself, and as authorised by Mr. Glasgow of Montgreenan.

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'. This is Robert Glasgow of Montgreenan (Glasgow-1076), strong.

Who this may be

[b. before 1747-10-15; d. 1827-04-19] · Ayrshire heritor represented by proxy at county meeting
Why this candidate?

The unique territorial designation fits only one man. Robert Glasgow bought Montgreenan c.1800-02 and held it until his death on 19 April 1827 (Paterson; Wikipedia 'Montgreenan'; LBS). His successor Robert Robertson took the name Glasgow only after 1827. In Jan 1808 'Mr. Glasgow of Montgreenan' can only be Robert-1076.

What the notice says

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.

Evidence and identity limits

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).

Who this may be

· appellant, heir-at-law of Robert Glasgow of Montgreenan
Why this candidate?

The Shaw & Maclean digest shows Allan v. Glasgow's Trustees (1 Sept 1835) was brought by 'the heir at law' against the trustees. The 1846 report names 'Hugh Allan and John Smith' as claimant heirs-at-law of Robert Glasgow of Mountgreenan. Paterson, Ayr II, lists Robert's sisters 'Ann, married to Hugh Allan, in Kilwinning, 23d December 1757' and 'Margaret ... married to Andrew Smith of Todholes ... 1764', which explains why the heirs-at-law are an Allan and a Smith (sons of sisters, as heirs-portioners). Allan-8034, Hugh b. 15 Jan 1768 Kilwinning, is on WikiTree as a son of Hugh Allan (Allan-80

Why this candidate?

Record-level bridge. The report's late Robert Glasgow died in 1827, made an 1818 entail and supplementary deeds dated 23 June 1821, and held Seafield near Ayr. The 1846 House of Lords report (David Allan and John Smith v. Anne Robertson Glasgow) concerns 'Robert Glasgow, of Mountgreenan, deceased', with the same 1818 entail, the 23 June 1821 deeds, a death in 1827 and 'a villa and lands adjoining, called Seafield', and recites the 1 Sept 1835 reversal. LBS claim 466 names trustees 'under deeds of release dated 22 and 23 June 1821' acting with Robert Glasgow (late Robertson) and Anne his wife.

[b. 1788-03-11; d. 1867-07-29] · natural daughter and first heir of entail of Robert Glasgow
Why this candidate?

The report calls Mrs Robertson Glasgow the late Robert's natural daughter and first heir under the 1818 entail. The 1846 report quotes Robert's 1802 deed: 'Miss Anne Glasgow, my reputed natural daughter by Mrs. Anne Swan', later the wife of Mr Robertson Glasgow, with the estate settled on her and her issue. LBS (claim 466 and person 27300) has Robert Robertson, later Glasgow, marrying Anne Glasgow on 2 Aug 1804, both claiming Mt Greenan. Paterson says the estate was left to a daughter 'married to Mr Robertson of Prenderguest' and that 'Mrs Robertson Glasgow, now proprietor ... resides at Pau'.

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.

Who this may be

Why 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 Montgreenan
Why 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.
