These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 16-25 1784-1794 = James (b. 1785) or James Thomas (b. 1788)

1 female 16-25 1784-1794 = Mary (b. 1792) or Margaret Anne (b. 1793

There should be two young married James GLASGOWs in Abbeville, but I only find one, and this record could apply to either one. Listed next to William & Ann (MORROW) THOMPSON and ten lines from John GLASGO.

3. 1820 U.S. Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #13 of 67; official enumeration date 7 Aug 1820; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

= Elizabeth (b. 1812)

1 female 26-44 1775-1794 = Mary (b. 1792)

1 person engaged in agriculture

Listed next to James Thomas GLASCOW (b. 1788), who is enumerated as the "senior" one, yet he's younger than our subject, and the children "fit" better if I make James Thomas the senior one. Or does it actually say, "Junr"? It's not exactly clear.

4. 1830 U.S. Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #48 of 56 — indexed "Glassendy" and "Gassow"; official enumeration date 1 Jun 1830; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1830 IL Randolph Co. Roll M19_22 p. 154 Ln. 14 James Glascow 001 001 - 011 101

These data indicate:

1 female 5-9 1820-1825 = Daughter A

1 female 10-14 1815-1820 = Nancy (b. 1815/6)

1 female 15-19 1810-1815 = Mary (b. ca. 1813)
= Elizabeth (b. 1812)

1 female 30-39 1790-1800 = Mary (b. 1792)

I hate to attribute so much to enumerator error, but surely this is our subject. Maybe this enumerator just didn't care if he got it right.

1 male 30-39 1800-1810 = hired help? kin?

2 persons employed in agriculture

1 person employed in manufactures and trades

Daughter Nancy is married and gone, but John and Mary are not, so we find them still at home.

6. 1850 U.S. Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #9 of 11): Town 5 South Range 7 West [T5S.R7W], Randolph Co., IL, Roll M432_125, p. 110B, 1668/1678, enumerated 8 Nov 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

James Glasgow 65 M Farmer 100 SC

Mary " 45 F "

Mary Findley 37 F "

James Findley 4 F Ill

Either Mary GLASGOW is telling a whopping fib about her age, or James has remarried (I don't find such a marriage record). Mary (GLASGOW) FINDLEY's husband is listed three households away.
