Biography

Ireland Native
Jane (Hopper) Glasgow was born in Ireland.

Mary Jane was born about 1853. [1] She was the daughter of James Hopper of The Island, Drumshanbo, Kildress, County Tyrone. [2]

On 25 March 1873 at Oritor Presbyterian, she married widower James Glasgow of Gortin, Derryloran. Witnessed by Samuel Glasgow Crawford and James Hopper. [3]

She passed away 27 Sep 1901 at Gortin, married, age 48, due to bronchitis. Informed by Sarah Glasgow, daughter, Gortin. [4] She is buried at Kildress Church of Ireland churchyard. [5]

The chief mourners at the funeral were: [6]

A reunion of her children was held on 26 July 1936 at the house of son Robert in Clifton, New Jersey, USA. Nine of her children emigrated to the US; and 21 grandchildren were present. [2]

Research Notes

There were two James Hopper of Drumshanbo, but we have attached the correct one because husband James Glasgow's funeral was attended by brothers-in-law James and Andrew Hopper, who also attend the funeral of this James Hopper in 1903 as Sons.

She appears as just "Jane" on most of the children's birth records.
