Hello Don Are you sure it couldn't be 'Glasgow'? Rhoda -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2013 5:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Lanark] Gleagum, Lanark, Scotland I am searching for information on a James Duncan born Mar 1689/1690 at or in Gleagum, Lanarkshire, Scotland. What is Gleagum? Is this a place? A parish? A Township? A castle? A poor house? I have searched through a number of the old maps of Scotland between 1628 and 1794 for this place and could not even find something with a similar spelling. This James Duncan immigrated to the Pennsylvania Colony in 1722/23 (based on birth of a child in 1725 in Chester County, PA). He is buried in a cemetery in Lancaster County, PA. He had three brothers (Andrew, Stephen, John) living with and/or near him in PA, that could have immigrated to the colonies with him or followed him to the colonies at a later date. Any information about this family will be most helpful with solving a 25 year brick wall. Thanks Don

Hi Rhoda, You are probably right on it being Glasgow. With being new in a new colony and the language barriers, it could have been a simple mistake of translation and spelling by the person writing the information. And then it could have been a Glen something.
