Notes

James Agnew came to America with his Father in 1717 at the age of 6. In 1739 he settled near the present site of Gettysburg, Pennsylvannia. In 1756 he was Captain of Company for the defense against the Indians. Captain Agnew is buried at Gettysburg, Pa. in Lower Marsh Creek graveyard (Old Sanders' Churchyard), under a large flat stone, upon which were cut the Arms of the Agnews of Lochnaw, Hereditary Sheriffs of Galloway. James Agnew was Commissioner, with Robert McPherson, to define the bounds of Masque Manor, land set apart for use of William Penn, Proprietor. 500 acres were afterwards granted to Captain James Agnew. James Agnew was Company Commander of the first rank in 1753 and Captain of York County Associators in 1756.
