United States: Newspapers

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.

Fogs Manor is preserved as printed. “Phil. Co.” is in the separate left-hand A column and is not assigned to James in the right-hand G column. Postal addressee only; occupation, exact jurisdiction and family are unstated. No identity bridge to the 1777 master or Irish James records. Identity review (6 October 2026): James Glascow, 'Fogs Manor' (Fagg's Manor, Londonderry Township, Chester County), 1757 Philadelphia letter list. The Chester County tax index shows a James Glascow/Glasgo landholding in Londonderry Township 1739-1740 and taxed in East/West Nottingham 1747-1758, so the addressee is very likely that local man; no WikiTree profile is documented in Chester County. Glasgow-2868 (Cecil County, d. c.1784) is the only regionally compatible profile, still 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 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): 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.

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.

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.

Alphabetical postal-letter list. The printed long-s glyph in Glasſgow is f-shaped and can yield OCR Glafgow; normalized surname reading Glasgow. The excerpt preserves nearby punctuation and entries: Pennsylvania follows James Gillispie, not an independently assigned locality for William Glasgow. No identity link to other entries is inferred. Postal addressee, not proof of continuous residence, age, occupation, family, or identity across these issues. Identity review (6 October 2026): William Glasgow, Philadelphia letter list February 1763, no place given. Name only; no WikiTree profile can be singled out.

Alphabetical postal-letter list; page 4 retains the list-purpose heading and G-section context. The printed long-s glyph in Glasſgow is f-shaped and can yield OCR Glafgow; normalized surname reading Glasgow. No locality or identity beyond the immediate printed sequence is assigned to William. Postal addressee, not proof of continuous residence, age, occupation, family, or identity across these issues. Identity review (6 October 2026): William Glasgow, Philadelphia letter list October 1765, no place given. Name only; unidentifiable.

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 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): John Glasgow, Nottingham Township, Chester County, Chester post-office list October 1765. In 1765 the Chester County tax list has two Johns in West Nottingham: the storekeeper-landholder (probably Glasgow-2871) and an inmate; the merchant is the likelier addressee, but 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 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): John Glasgow, Nottingham, Chester post-office list November 1765 (same period as the October list). Same assessment: storekeeper John of West Nottingham, probably Glasgow-2871, is the likelier addressee; only possible.

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. 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): 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.

Original Philadelphia post-office heading and entry saved separately. The place is printed across lines as Kensing- / ton; no individual, residence, life status or link to the Nottingham cluster is established. No existing profile is identified. Nottingham candidates Glasgow-2870 and Glasgow-2871 are compatible namesakes without a place or postal bridge; the elder’s earlier recorded death does not absolutely exclude posthumous mail. Keep this separate from the Nottingham cluster. Identity review (6 October 2026): John Glasgow, 'Kensing-/ton', Philadelphia letter list October 1769. Kensington (Northern Liberties, Philadelphia) has no link to the Nottingham Johns; unidentifiable.

A boundary name, not the deceased estate owner, buyer or executor. February and August notices concern the same described estate; their planned sale dates differ, preserved in each issue assessment. Planned sale: 17 February 1770, at Abraham Wentz’s house. No completed sale is established. 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.

Three issue appearances of one notice. The separate Limerick property’s 7 August sale does not apply here. No completed sale, occupation or kinship is established. Identity review (6 October 2026): Same Whitpain Township estate re-advertised July 1770: Samuel Glasgow is a boundary landowner of the 30-acre part. Same conclusion as group 39398014: a real Whitpain resident (1769 tax list), no profile beyond possible (Glasgow-3175).

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. William has no WikiTree profile; the Cecil County William named among the children of James Glasgow Sr. (d. 1784) in Cecil probate is a plausible but unproved identity. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: William Glasgow.

Planned sale 11 May at one o’clock on the premises; Henry Hayes, sheriff; notice dated 28 April 1773. John is the neighbouring landholder, not the deceased estate owner, buyer or executor. Sale completion is unproved. Identity review (6 October 2026): John Glascow is the neighbouring landholder of Michael Dintz's 22.5-acre West Nottingham tract in an April 1773 sheriff's sale. The only John taxed as a West Nottingham landholder in 1773 is the continuing storekeeper/landholder whose holding passes to Hugh Glasgow in 1793, i.e. probably Glasgow-2871.

Alphabetical letters-remaining list headed Post-Office, Lancaster. The (2) marker is preserved without reading it as an age. Nearby county names belong to other entries; the post office is not proof of James’s residence. Normalized Glasgow is the personal surname reading. The three checked profiles remain possible; none identifies the addressee. No link to the 1757 Philadelphia/Fogs Manor, 1775 Charlestown or 1777 shipmaster James is established. Identity review (6 October 2026): James Glasgow, with a '(2)' marker, in the Lancaster post-office letter list of July 1773. Name only; no profile can be singled out.

Alphabetical entries printed surname first: Glasgow James, followed by a small 2 marker, and Glasgow Ezekiel. The marker is not read as an age. Letter-list appearance alone proves no kinship, occupation, continuous residence or identity with later James records. Identity review (6 October 2026): James Glasgow and Ezekiel Glasgow in the Charlestown, South Carolina, General Post Office letter list of 21 August 1775. James is possibly the Ayr-born James of Newberry District (Glasgow-804, arrived South Carolina 1769); the Kilwaughter James (Glasgow-1144) is unlikely because his children were still being born in County Antrim to 1775. No WikiTree Ezekiel fits.

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.

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.

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.

Signed official secretary context supports probable correspondence with Glasgow-634’s North Carolina office study; no family or personal life date is established. The 10 Januarycargo-taking accusation is the proclamation’s attributed claim, not a conviction or a charge against Glasgow. The 14 January proclamation begins on the preceding page and continues onpage 3. Identity review (6 October 2026): Proclamation dated New Bern 10 Jan 1778 about the wrecked snow Diamond's cargo, signed 'James Glasgow, Sec'ry' by Governor Caswell's command. The signer is North Carolina's first Secretary of State, who is WikiTree Glasgow-634; the exact office makes this a strong match. No kin stated.

Signed official secretary context supports probable correspondence with Glasgow-634’s North Carolina office study; no family or personal life date is established. The 10 Januarycargo-taking accusation is the proclamation’s attributed claim, not a conviction or a charge against Glasgow. The 14 January proclamation begins on the preceding page and continues onpage 3. Identity review (6 October 2026): Proclamation dated New Bern 14 Jan 1778 announcing the qualification of superior-court clerks, signed 'James Glasgow, Sec'ry' by Governor Caswell's command: North Carolina's Secretary of State, Glasgow-634 (strong). No kin stated.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Original checked under MARINE LIST / INWARD ENTRIES. Row reads “Brig Ann, Glasgow, Larne”; adjacent rows follow vessel, master, origin order. Retain Glasgow as the unnamed brig master, not the city. No forename, kin or personal residence stated. The two February prose notices reprint one report; continuity with the January inward and February clearance entries is possible, not proved. Tuesday is relative report wording, not an exact arrival day inferred from the issue date. Larne is voyage origin, not the captain’s birthplace. Identity review (6 October 2026): A Charleston marine list of January 1788 enters the brig Ann inward from Larne, with a master surnamed Glasgow. The master's forename is not given and he cannot be identified on WikiTree. The Larne-born William Glasgow (Glasgow-3324) remains only a possible comparison.

Original checked. “Tuesday arrived, after a tedious passage, the brig Ann, Capt. Glasgow, from Larne, with near 200 passengers, all in good health …” Passage continues with praise of the captain’s humane behaviour. Personal surname/title, but no forename. No forename, kin or personal residence stated. The two February prose notices reprint one report; continuity with the January inward and February clearance entries is possible, not proved. Tuesday is relative report wording, not an exact arrival day inferred from the issue date. Larne is voyage origin, not the captain’s birthplace. Identity review (6 October 2026): Philadelphia papers of February 1788 reprint a report that the brig Ann, Capt. Glasgow, arrived from Larne with nearly 200 passengers in good health, praising the captain's humanity. This is the same surname-only master as the Charleston marine-list entries. He remains unidentified.

Original checked under MARINE LIST / CLEARED OUT. Row reads “Brig Ann, Glasgow, Georgetown”; surrounding table rows confirm vessel, master, destination order. Glasgow is the unnamed master, not a city. No forename, kin or personal residence stated. The two February prose notices reprint one report; continuity with the January inward and February clearance entries is possible, not proved. Tuesday is relative report wording, not an exact arrival day inferred from the issue date. Larne is voyage origin, not the captain’s birthplace. Identity review (6 October 2026): A Charleston marine list of February 1788 records the brig Ann cleared out for Georgetown, with master Glasgow. This is the same surname-only master as the January arrival from Larne, and he is unidentified.

Original place spelling Contentney retained. The letters would be returned if not collected by 5 April; no proof of collection, family or permanent residence. Contentney is a geographic qualifier, not another person. 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 post-office list dated 19 March 1788 includes letters for 'James Glasgow, Contentney'. Contentnea Creek was the site of the Secretary of State's Fairfield plantation, so this is a probable match to Glasgow-634.

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.

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. This is a probable match to Glasgow-634, a Dobbs County resident. No family is stated.

The preceding councillors’ election is dated Tuesday the 11th ultimo; the separate secretary sentence does not explicitly assign that day to him. Issue date is 4 December 1788. No exact appointment day or household is inferred. 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): The State Gazette of North-Carolina, 4 December 1788, reports James Glasgow, Esq., chosen Secretary of State. This is the documented Secretary of State, Glasgow-634: a strong match.

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. 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 Fayetteville report (December 1788) names James Glasgow, Esq., Grand Senior Warden of the North Carolina Grand Lodge for the ensuing year. This is a probable match to Glasgow-634, continuing his 1787 Grand Secretary and 1789 Deputy Grand Master offices.

Contemporary office report; actual appointment minutes and cross-record identity are not independently checked. The newspaper report date is not an exact appointment day. 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): An Edenton report of 17 December 1789 names James Glasgow Deputy Grand Master of the North Carolina Grand Lodge for the ensuing year. This is a probable match to Glasgow-634.

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.

Two issues dated 25 January 1792 reprint the same report. The reported Thursday last is not converted into an exact appointment date; year context suggests the preceding December. No family is stated. 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 31 December 1791, reprinted in Pennsylvania in January 1792, names the Hon. James Glasgow appointed Secretary of State by the North Carolina legislature. This is a strong match to Glasgow-634.

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.

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.

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'.

The printed Marsh creek qualifier immediately accompanies James, not the next Andrew Givin. Repeated list entries do not establish repeated acts, collected mail, family, permanent residence or continued life. No common list heading or list date was found on the inspected pages; postal interpretation remains qualified. No existing profile is identified. Glasgow-3290, Glasgow-2868 and Glasgow-634 remain weak compatible comparisons without a Marsh creek bridge. Do not join this addressee to the Lancaster 1773 or North Carolina subjects solely by name. Identity review (6 October 2026): James Glasgow, Marsh Creek, appears in a Carlisle names-and-addresses list reprinted in July–August 1795. No WikiTree profile fits: the Cecil County Jameses are recorded dead before 1795, and the North Carolina Secretary of State lived elsewhere. A profile draft is needed only if further records identify him. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: James Glasgow.

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.

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. All three saved headings actually print 1795; this anomalous year is retained, not silently corrected to 1796. Identity review (6 October 2026): A Raleigh post-office list, printed in January–February 1796 under a heading dated 1 January 1795, includes James Glasgow, Esq. This is a probable match to Glasgow-634.

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.

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 July 1796 includes the Hon. James Glasgow. This is a probable match to Glasgow-634.

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.

Three issues repeat one list. The marker 4 is preserved without interpreting it as age or independently proving a letter count. The heading prints no year in the bounded excerpt; 1797 is the issue context. Neither residence, collection, household nor continued life is proved. Identity review (6 October 2026): A Raleigh post-office list headed 1 April, printed April–May 1797, includes James Glasgow, Esq. (marker 4). This is a probable match to Glasgow-634.

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. This is a strong match to Glasgow-634.

Original pixels verify the personal name despite quoted viewer search returning No matches. The chest was reportedly deposited in the Comptroller’s office; a separate stolen trunk is attributed to William Tyrell. Claims about fraud/forgery evidence are the proclamation’s account, not an adjudicated finding. The thieves are not James Glasgow. Identity review (6 October 2026): A Halifax printing (8 February 1798) of the proclamation dated 21 January 1798 names James Glasgow, Esq., as owner of a chest of Secretary of State's office papers that thieves threw into the yard and left. This is the same event as group 55230363: a strong match to Glasgow-634.

Newbern report dated 8 December 1798; parallel Halifax report dated 10 December printed 24 December. One appointment/resignation event, not separate resignations; no exact resignation day or cause is supplied. Identity review (6 October 2026): Newbern (8 Dec 1798) and Halifax (10 Dec 1798) reports say Wm. White of Lenoir was elected North Carolina Secretary of State in the room of James Glasgow, resigned. This is a strong match to Glasgow-634 and dates his resignation to before early December 1798.

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. Other compatible namesakes remain open; a birthplace or absent migration field is not an exclusion. Identity review (6 October 2026): Thomas Glasgow, 'Kentucky', is listed among letters remaining at the Lexington post office (printed 24 January 1799). No WikiTree profile fits: the two prior comparisons are Irish- and Scottish-recorded men with no Kentucky link, and one died in Scotland. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Thomas Glasgow.

Thomas is the subscriber and reported victim; William Steel is the alleged thief. The notice states Thomas’s location but gives no age or family. Reward checked visually as twenty dollars, not fifty. Identity review (6 October 2026): 'STOP THIEF': Thomas Glascoe reports $115 stolen from his house on Tinicum Island, near Chester on the Delaware, on 31 March 1799, by a man calling himself William Steel (notice dated 9 April 1799). No WikiTree profile fits this Thomas Glascoe; the Dublin-born Glasco profiles have no American record. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Thomas Glascoe.

Printed trustee and planned committee roster, not proof of attendance, completion of the examination, kinship or individual identity beyond the regional comparison. 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.

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.

Full named paragraph recaptured and checked. Long s is normalized in Glascoe and Kingsessing. The full resolutions and political purpose have not been examined; no age or family is stated. Identity review (6 October 2026): Nathaniel R. Glascoe is named on the Kingsessing Township committee to act with the county committee (Aurora, 13 September 1799). He has no WikiTree profile under any spelling. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Nathaniel R. Glascoe.

Reported commissioners’ allegations and conclusions, not an adjudicated conviction. The bounded paragraph introduces the attributed practices; later continuation gives further allegations. No family connection is stated. Identity review (6 October 2026): A commissioners' report printed in the Raleigh papers in December 1799 names James Glasgow, Esq., 'the late Secretary', and attributes irregular military land warrants to him. This is a strong match to Glasgow-634.

Continuation of the commissioners’ report: these are attributed allegations, including a proposed need for Holladay’s testimony, not independent evidence of guilt or an adjudicated conviction. Harrison and Holladay are distinct people; county of Glasgow is a place. Only the clean left column is preserved here. Identity review (6 October 2026): The Raleigh Minerva continuation of the commissioners' report (17 Dec 1799) alleges that James Glasgow handled a warrant and assignment involving soldier James Harrison and witness Samuel Holladay, and grants issued by the Secretary to himself. This is a strong match to Glasgow-634. Harrison and Holladay are not his kin.

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.

This paragraph announces a reply without printing its text. Forename is not stated in this bounded notice; attribution to James follows the same issue’s late-Secretary report and remains contextual. It establishes neither guilt nor exoneration. Identity review (6 October 2026): The Weekly Raleigh Register (24 Dec 1799) says it has seen Mr. Glasgow's reply to the land-fraud charges and will print it. No forename is given, but the same-issue context of the late Secretary's land-warrant case makes Glasgow-634 probable.

This is the committee’s reported statement, not a conviction or an exact arrest date. Its language about offenders is attributed, not adopted as an independently proved description. Identity review (6 October 2026): A committee report (Raleigh Minerva, 31 Dec 1799) says that of those it considered offenders in the land-warrant matter, none had been arrested except James Glasgow. This is a strong match to Glasgow-634.

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.
