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 Glasgow, Marsh creek, appears in a Carlisle names/address list reprinted in July–August 1795.
Evidence and identity limits
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.

What the notice says
Hon. James Glasgow, Raleigh, is an addressee in a post-office letters list dated 1 October 1795.
Evidence and identity limits
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.
[b. c. 1735; d. 1819-11-17] · addressee, Raleigh post office (Oct 1795)Why this candidate?
'Hon.' marks a high public officer. Glasgow-634 was Secretary of State, whose office and land-grant registry were held in Raleigh once the capital was occupied (UNCA). Name, title, office seat and date agree, and there is no rival NC James Glasgow. 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).
