Robert Vans Agnew's correct surname was AGNEW, his father having assumed the name of AGNEW at his marriage. Robert christened all his children Vans (ref the family bible in which he recorded this action and which is in my possession). I believe that his children did the same but that all future generations called themselves by the surname VANS AGNEW until my father, Patrick Alexander Vans of Barnbarroch returned to the name VANS in 1965.
