Reported events, notices, advertisements and letters. OCR matches need visual checking; place names, vessels and matches to other surnames are excluded from Glasgow surname evidence.
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
3 distinct notices from 5 retained pages, earliest first. Reprints of the same notice are merged; 5 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
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. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Samuel Glascow (new-profile draft pending).

What the notice says
Samuel Glascow, for horse-stealing, and Thomas Andrews, for a separate offence, were reported respited during His Majesty’s pleasure.
Evidence and identity limits
The complete paragraph says “Yesterday” the report of seven Newgate malefactors was made to the King at St James’s. A separate original page-1 masthead reads Friday, 22 May 1761, supporting 21 May as the reported royal-review day. Respite is reported, not proof of pardon conditions, military service or ancestral identity. Thomas Andrews’s offence is not Samuel’s. Identity review (6 October 2026): May 1761 report that Samuel Glascow, horse-stealer, was respited during His Majesty's pleasure on 21 May 1761. This is the same London defendant; no compatible WikiTree profile (draft flagged on group 394296692). No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Samuel Glascow (new-profile draft pending).
His horse-stealing case is listed among contents of an advertisement for printed Old Bailey trial proceedings.
