Scotland: Newspapers

James Glasgow appears in the master position in an arrival list under Greenock, August 12. The report supports a shipmaster inference; it supplies no age or relatives. Identity review (6 October 2026): 1740 Greenock arrival of the Prosperity of Irvine, master James Glasgow, from 'Northcopen'. A real Irvine shipmaster, but several Irvine James Glasgows fit and nothing in the notice separates them; no relationship is stated.

Reprinted trial account. The following paragraph adds a Not Guilty verdict and removal of his bolts, then introduces cartel articles. Their full terms are outside the saved excerpt and are not inferred. Identity review (6 October 2026): Nov 1746 trial report: Nicholas Glascoe, Major in Ogilvie's 2nd battalion, proved a lieutenant in Dillon's and native of St Germain-en-Laye, was acquitted and detained as a French prisoner. TNA cabinet minute SP 36/89/2/32 (14 Nov 1746) independently records the acquittal. No WikiTree profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Nicholas Glascoe (new-profile draft pending).

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. The patent report documents a George Glasgow of Manchester. Four compatible Scottish chronological comparisons remain possible; none has an inspected inventor/patent identity bridge. 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. No WikiTree profile fits him, and the earlier link to the Glasgow merchant of Nethermains (Glasgow-3312) is now weak. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: George Glasgow, of Manchester.

Original inspected. The notice reports conviction and sentence; it does not establish later removal or identity with any other Robert Glasgow. Two compatible Scottish profiles remain weak possibilities. No identity with the 1772 Robert son of Andrew at Calder, Maryland sale participant or Montgreenan man is established. Identity review (6 October 2026): Dec 1767: Robert Glasgow, with George Garnock, Niel M'Kinnon and Donald M'Donald, sentenced in Edinburgh for theft to be walked through the city and banished. The 1772 banished-persons list repeats Garnoch and Mackinnon beside 'Robert Glasgow, son of Andrew Glasgow miller at Calder', so this is that man; he has no WikiTree profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Robert Glasgow.

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.

The 6 February Caledonian report names William Glasgow master of Lady Forbes, loaded with rum for Waterford, driven ashore near Sutton, crew saved. It describes the same named master/vessel/grounding as the 23 January Freeman’s Journal report in different wording; this is a curated same-event grouping, not an exact-text reprint. Belonging to Glasgow describes the vessel, not personal residence or origin. Identity review (6 October 2026): Jan/Feb 1768: William Glasgow, master of the Lady Forbes (of Glasgow) with rum for Waterford, driven ashore near Sutton, crew saved. No WikiTree William can be singled out.

Thirteen June/July 1768 issues preserve a private-sale notice. Earlier copies say July next and July copies July inst.; retain the issue-specific wording without asserting another sale or completed transfer. Merks/shillings of old/new extent are historical land valuations, not stated acreages. Belonging is the advertisement’s description, not an independently inspected title. 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): June-July 1768 sale of Nether-Mains and other Kilwinning lands 'belonging to George Glasgow, merchant in Glasgow'. Identified as Glasgow-3312 (probable) through the Commissariot entry 'George Glasgow, of Nethermains' and the Martin/Ashinyards descent of Nethermains; also shows Glasgow-3312's 1768 death date is doubtful.

Published 7 September 1771. A reported promotion in the explicitly named regiment; completed service, age and relatives are not established. Exact name and artillery context with progressive reported ranks support a provisional career study; individual continuity across the 22-year interval remains unproved. No checked existing profile is identified. The possible later chronological match George-1529 does not prove the early lieutenant’s identity. The 1774 unassigned Second Lieutenant notice remains a separate subject. Identity review (6 October 2026): Sept 1771: Second Lieutenant George Glasgow, Royal Artillery, to be First Lieutenant vice Francis Downman. This is an earlier RA officer, not the later Lt-Gen George Glasgow (only a cadet in 1771); no WikiTree profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: George Glasgow (2nd Lt to 1st Lt, Royal Artillery).

The notice offers one guinea for discovery within the city/liberties of listed persons previously banished or bound to leave. The printed father–son statement is documentary family evidence; it does not prove a particular robbery conviction, apprehension, reward payment or identity with the 1767 prisoner. 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. Robert-1445’s tree-only father James and sibling Andrew-3052 are unverified leads; no parent replacement follows from identifying only the documentary family. Calder alone does not distinguish East from West Calder. Identity review (6 October 2026): Nov 1772 Edinburgh magistrates' list of banished persons includes 'Robert Glasgow, son of Andrew Glasgow miller at Calder'. Robert is the 1767 theft convict; neither he nor a miller Andrew at Calder can be matched to a WikiTree profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Robert Glasgow.

Published 24 September 1774. Regiment is not stated in the bounded appointment paragraph. No identity bridge joins this Second Lieutenant appointment to the 1771 First Lieutenant or later Royal Artillery reports; completed service and family remain unproved. A separate reported appointment names George Glasgow, gentleman. Existing chronological comparisons remain weak; regiment and personal identity are unproved. Do not join this lower-rank appointment to the 1771 First Lieutenant solely by surname or assume a demotion. Identity review (6 October 2026): Sept 1774: George Glasgow, gentleman, appointed Second Lieutenant vice Barnes. This is the future Lt-Gen George Glasgow RA (DCB: 2nd Lt 8 Sept 1774); he has no WikiTree profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: George Glasgow, gentleman (Second Lieutenant).

Notice published 12 December 1774. The land lies in West Calder; lots II and III name the tenant. William White is the proprietor, a different person. Tack expiry is stated, not independently verified, and the planned sale is not a completed transaction. Identity review (6 October 2026): Dec 1774 sale advertisement: William Glasgow tenant of lots at Cleugh-head and Clovenfordsyke (West Calder), tack to Martinmas 1776. No WikiTree profile can be fixed; the prior candidate Glasgow-1463 (bapt. 1816) is impossible.

Same prospective 31 July 1776 sale stage as saved Edinburgh Advertiser notices. Glasgow is tenant/possessor of the 71 Scots-acre parcel; combined farms held by Wilson and Glasgow total 96 acres and are offered for£1200, or two lots of about 36/60 acres at £600 each. This does not imply completed sale or kinship to Wilson. Identity review (6 October 2026): June-July 1776 sale notice: William Glasgow, tenant and co-possessor with William Wilson of Cleugh-head and Clovenfordsyke. Same tenant; no matchable profile.

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. One tenant subject consolidates the two sale stages without inventing relatives. Identity review (6 October 2026): Aug 1776 adjourned sale: William Glasgow, tenant and co-possessor with William Wilson. Same tenant; no matchable profile.

Issue 23 June 1777. A separate adjournment notice, not the 1768 wording. Right-hand original text is faded; the former advertised day is not confidently transcribed. No completed sale, bankruptcy, death or estate administration is established. 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): June 1777 adjournment of the sale of Nether Mains 'belonging to George Glasgow'. Same owner as 1768: Glasgow-3312, probable.

Issue 26 July 1777. Sale planned 8 August next; Nether Mains and Littleward are visible in the bounded passage. Past-tense belonged is preserved. No completed sale, insolvency or death follows; later properties/terms beyond the saved passage are not inferred. 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): July 1777 judicial sale (Lords of Council and Session) of Nether Mains and Littleward 'which belonged to George Glasgow'. Glasgow-3312, probable.

The notice names current possessors Thomas and William For-rests, printed across a line break, while Glasgow is a former possessor of the haughs. The old meal-market house is excluded. Future entry terms and advertised lot prices£500/£400 do not establish completed sale, tenant death or kinship. Complete original-column repairs now resolve the earlier truncated co-tenant reading. Identity review (6 October 2026): Aug-Sept 1777 adjourned sale: William Glasgow now former possessor of the Cleugh-head haughs. Same tenant; no matchable profile.

Issue 24 November 1777; advertised 28 November current. Three parcels and reduced upset terms are stated. This is a separate judicial-sale stage, not proof the lots were sold, or proof of the former holder’s death or bankruptcy. 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): Nov 1777 adjourned judicial sale of Littleward, Fence and Oxenward, formerly of George Glasgow of Nethermains. Glasgow-3312, probable.

Issue 13 December 1777; planned 19 December current, Oxenward only. Separate judicial-sale stage with an advertised upset price, not a completed transaction or proof of death/bankruptcy. 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 1777 judicial sale of Oxenward near Kilwinning, 'which belonged to George Glasgow of Nether Mains'. Glasgow-3312, probable.

Notice dated Leith, 3 February 1779, printed 9 February. The grouped signatures are annotated Preses to; the brace does not independently assign Andrew a particular trade/society. The notice opposes proposed repeal of penal statutes; no individual religion, birth, household or family is inferred. No existing Andrew is identified. Three local candidates and other compatible chronological namesakes remain unresolved; missing records and uncertain bounds do not establish exclusions. The Leith notice does not prove family links or a particular society role. Identity review (6 October 2026): Feb 1779 Leith resolution against repeal of the penal laws: Andrew Glasgow signs as preses for the Porters (the three new companies of porters in Leith and St Anthony's). No WikiTree Andrew can be fixed.

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.

A contact named in the NOTA of a liquor-impost notice; not a charge against Andrew or proof he held an official tax office. Same notice repeated in two issues. Name and Leith locality permit comparison with the 1779 society signatory, without proving personal continuity or family. Identity review (6 October 2026): Dec 1790 liquor-impost notice: warrants obtainable from Andrew Glasgow, merchant, Kirkgate, Leith. No WikiTree Andrew can be fixed.

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.

Published 5 October 1793. Original Office of Ordnance heading reads 25 September; the parallel Observer notice reads 27 September. Retain both printed dates without asserting two independent promotions or inventing a precise commission day. Exact name and artillery context with progressive reported ranks support a provisional career study; individual continuity across the 22-year interval remains unproved. No checked existing profile is identified. The possible later chronological match George-1529 does not prove the early lieutenant’s identity. The 1774 unassigned Second Lieutenant notice remains a separate subject. Identity review (6 October 2026): Oct 1793: Captain-Lieutenant George Glasgow to be Captain, Royal Artillery, vice Wright (Ordnance 25 Sept). This is Lt-Gen George Glasgow RA (DCB: captain 25 Sept 1793); no WikiTree profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: George Glasgow (Captain-Lieutenant to Captain, Royal Artillery).

Published 21 May 1795; original War Office heading explicitly 15 May 1795. Both the Captains heading and final to be Majors in the army line are preserved. This announces an army-major appointment; technical brevet classification or completed service is not independently established. Exact name and artillery context with progressive reported ranks support a provisional career study; individual continuity across the 22-year interval remains unproved. No checked existing profile is identified. The possible later chronological match George-1529 does not prove the early lieutenant’s identity. The 1774 unassigned Second Lieutenant notice remains a separate subject. Identity review (6 October 2026): May 1795: Captain George Glasgow, artillery, made Major in the army. Probably Lt-Gen George Glasgow RA (DCB); the earlier RA George is a possible alternative. No WikiTree profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Captain George Glasgow, artillery (to be Major in the army).

The notice is under Office of Ordnance, October 9; its preceding all dated 1 October 1795 applies through Dated as above. Both William and Allen are printed personal forenames across the line break. This is an announced commission, not family proof, an age statement or independently checked service history. A separately documented William Allen Glasgow is announced as an engineer officer. Existing exact full-name catalogue entries are later-born men. Compatible William-only candidates remain possible because a missing middle name is not an exclusion; none has a Royal Engineers identity bridge. Identity review (6 October 2026): Oct 1795: Gentleman Cadet William Allen Glasgow commissioned Second Lieutenant, Royal Engineers. The RE roll gives 2nd Lt 1 Oct 1795, Lt 18 Aug 1797, died at Martinique 3 Jan 1798. No WikiTree profile; the earlier candidates lived into the 1840s-50s. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: William Allen Glasgow.

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.

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.

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.

The notice explicitly names Rachel’s father. Dunlop-2144 is a checked compatible John of Dunlop, whose biography lists Rachel’s 1769 baptism. Newspaper date is 22 February; the maintained OPR citation gives 23 February. Preserve both pending original-register comparison. No mother is stated. Identity review (6 October 2026): Marriage at Dunlop House, 22 Feb 1802, of Robert Glasgow of Montgreenan to Rachel Dunlop, daughter of the late John Dunlop of Dunlop. All three people are on WikiTree; the marriage is already linked, and Rachel's link to her father can be made confident.

Contemporary use of the estate designation by 7 September 1802. It supports the 1802 Montgreenan association, without dating the purchase or establishing a family relationship. Identity review (6 October 2026): Ayrshire game-licence list, July-Sept 1802: 'Glasgow, Robert, Esq. of Montgreenan'. Glasgow-1076, strong.

Place-study evidence only. Different mill interests were held under the heirs of the Marquis of Antrim and under the Marquis of Donegall. The passage names no Glasgow surname and does not connect the Glasgow families to these mills or to a seventeenth-century glassworks. Identity review (6 October 2026): 1804 auction of Larne, Kilwaughter and Inver mills held by James Holmes & Co. No Glasgow person is named; place context only.

List covers 17 July–10 September 1806. Supports continued Montgreenan estate association; a deputation is an appointment of a gamekeeper, not kinship. Identity review (6 October 2026): Ayrshire game licences and deputations, July-Sept 1806: Robert Glasgow, Esq. of Montgreenan, licence holder and principal of a gamekeeper deputation. Glasgow-1076, strong.

Reports a daughter born 22 November 1827 at Rome. Exact date, place and family designation support Charlotte Glasgow-3003’s recorded birth, but the notice does not give the child’s forename or the mother’s forename. Anne-2874 is the checked Montgreenan succession wife. Identity review (6 October 2026): Birth at Rome, 22 Nov 1827, of a daughter to Mrs Robertson Glasgow of Montgreenan. The mother is Anne (Glasgow) Robertson Glasgow (Glasgow-2874) and the child is Charlotte Marie Cecilia (Glasgow-3003, b. Rome 22 Nov 1827); the existing mother link can be made confident.
