Biographical History
John Glassford and Company, and successors, was a mercantile firm in Glasgow, Scotland which did business in Maryland and Virginia. Near the beginning of the Revolution, the firm name changed to Glassford & Henderson, and additional stores were opened. About 1790, Alexander Henderson, Robert Ferguson, and John Gibson (trading under the name Henderson, Ferguson & Gibson) had charge of most of these stores, and it was probably at this time that the trade passed out of the hands of the Scottish merchants and into the control of local owners. From 1800 to about 1816 Vincent & Ferguson carried on the bulk of the business. About 1816, until 1834, the firm was called Edelen, Thompson & Company.
