history of family history names

Through the mothers, hundreds of other last names come up who we are related to. These are what we have so far. Dates listed are usually the BIRTH date of the last person back & where they originated or lived.
AGNEW LINE:
AGNEWS — still working on our line. Not proven yet past my great-grandfather James Agnew’s father James in OHIO. I have an article to be posted in the Agnew international newsletter in Jan. 2012. There is an older “Samuel Agnew” listed in Ohio 1850 census with my great-grandpa James as a little boy, & his father James. This Samuel has not yet been traced. (If he is a FAMOUS Samuel Agnew born the same year, then we are traced back to Scotland. If not, I don’t know who the hell we are yet.) But no doubt we go back to SCOTLAND and prior to that, IRELAND, as there were 3 MAIN AGNEW brothers who originally came to the states! We are all descended from those 3 Agnew brothers pretty much. One came to South Carolina & there are Agnews down here from his line. Others were in PA & from there evidently migrated west.
