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.

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 Glascow, Fogs Manor, is listed among letters remaining in the Philadelphia post office.
Evidence and identity limits
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.
