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
An Edenton report dated 17 December 1789 names James Glasgow as Deputy Grand Master among North Carolina Grand Lodge officers appointed for the ensuing year.
Evidence and identity limits
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.
[b. c. 1735; d. 1819-11-17] · Deputy Grand Master, North Carolina Grand Lodge (Dec 1789)Why this candidate?
This continues the Grand Lodge sequence for James Glasgow (Grand Secretary 1787 via Kingston Lodge No. 3; Grand Senior Warden 1788). The Grand Lodge and General Assembly met at Fayetteville in November–December 1789, where the Secretary of State served. His 1768 Masonic membership is recorded by NCpedia. No rival adult NC James Glasgow exists. Identity context as in group 604128613: Glasgow-634 is the documented NC Secretary of State 1777–1798, Dobbs/Glasgow County resident and militia colonel; WikiTree has no other adult NC James Glasgow (son Glasgow-2492, b. 1776, is the only other).
