Other information:
The relationship between William Agnew and Samuel Agnew is not at all clear. If William is the father of Samuel, then he cannot be the one who immigrated from Stranraer, or the one who is listed in the taxlist of Morris County. There is a letter from JB Agnew and Hannah Boggett to Phoebe Ellen McKee in which Phoebe told them about "Uncle" William, who is really her cousin. This could be the son of David Agnew and Josinah McKee, but the reference to Samuel, Francis and "Peggy" Burns would indicate that William was a son of Samuel who would have been a half brother to the Joseph B. who was writing the letter. The problem is that there were 2 or 3 Samuel Agnews in the Cincinatti area around that time. The mention of William b.1801, Samuel b.1799, Francis b. 1803 and Peggy b. 1805 would indicate to me that the family was of Samuel and Ann.
However, there is a Samuel m. Margaret who had a William Allen b. 1792 (they are listed on a deed just across the river in KY) He also would be older and could be called "uncle".1,2
There are two Samuels of about the same age: Samuel Agnew, (wife Alice) and Samuel Agnew (married twice); if these are the same, than he would be 34 yrs older than Brant, his next brother; which seems unlikely.
