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
William Glasgow is listed among letters remaining in the Philadelphia post office in February 1763.
Evidence and identity limits
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.
These are search leads or exclusions, not confirmed surname records.
