A LESSON IN SHARING An elderly couple visit McDonalds. He orders one hamburger, one order of French fries, and one drink. The old man unwraps the plain hamburger and carefully cuts it in half. He places one half in front of his wife He then carefully counts the French fries, dividing them into two piles, and neatly places on pile in front of his wife. He takes a sip of the drink then his wife takes a sip of the drink, then she sets the cup down between them. As he begins to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them keep looking over and whispering You could tell thev were thinking, "That poor old couple., .all they can afford is one meal for the two of them." As the man begins to eat his French fries, a young man comes to his table and politely offers to buy another meal for the old cou ple. The old man says they are "just fine, and they are used to sharing everything." The surrounding people notice the little old lady hasn't eaten a bite. She sits there watching her husband eat and occasionally takes turns sipping on the drink. 7
£?alu th,e y0Un9 man COmes over and begs them t0 let nim buV another meal for them. This time the little old woman answers No thank you, we are used to sharing everything." As the old man finishes and is wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man comes over again to the little old ladv who has yet to eat a bite of food an asks, "What are you waiting for?" ' She kindly answers, "The teeth."

.... Convener's Corner.: We had an Agnew Association meting at the September 8, 2007 at the Ligonier (PA) Highland games at Idlewild Park. In attendance were Tom and Joanne Cartwright from Salt Spring Island, Vancouver; Convener Joe and Bobbie Dunn from Virginia, Bobbie's sister Mary Jane and husband Jim Liverman, Robert and Jean Agnew from the Agnew gathering in Harmonsburg PA, Rob Bestwick (husband of Bonita Agnew Bestwick) from Pittsburgh, my sister Jane Agnew Eye and husband Dr. Luke Eye from Franklin WV and myself, in Irwin PA, a total of twelve; I noticed in San Diego we had only 18, so it's not too bad for starting up again. Joe Dunn and I represented the Board of Directors (with proxies) and elected me Convener of the Agnew Association of America (for a second term.) There were about 100,000 people at Idlewild; including a thousand bagpipe players, 200 sheep dogs, Celtic dancers, Scottish fiddling competitions, Caber tossing, (none of us participated) etc. We ate at the Carnegie Mellon pavilion, which featured all the Scottish food you could eat (and drink) but there were many caterers, even from Toronto. We had an Agnew tent on "Clan Row", visited by thousands, the kids had to get a book signed showing they stopped at every tent in order to get a prize. We didn't have anything to sell, but I had surplus "Book of the Agnews" (Mary Virginia Agnew, 1926) which I gave away; if anyone wants a free copy on a computer disk, let me know. At 5pm they had a mass pipe playing in the athletic field, very impressive, you didn't have to be near it to listen. A bell ringing group was there, about 30 players, some bells 18" in diameter. Some clans travel "the circuit" and have their own big tents and clan ties, pins, tartans etc. to sell. (I used to have the address of the mill in Scotland that makes Agnew Tartan if anyone is interested) They were selling Border collie puppies, cute but very peppy. I watched the Celtic dancing girls practicing, some as young as 5. My favorite was the dancing Border collie, who danced with her master; since she was a girl she had to dance backwards. Her handler would keep a doggie treat in her left hand if she wanted the dog to follow her to the left, and right hand the other way, and in her mouth if she wanted the dog to go straight. I thought the dog kept staring her in the eyes to see where to go, but it may have been staring at her mouth for another (of 20?) treat. The dog danced very well, should be on TV, and got enough exercise to keep from getting fat on treats. ("Scoobie Doo will do anything for three scoobie snacks" isn't far from the truth) Our favorite meal was at The Nest (home of the 22 ounce Lobster Tail) in Jeannette PA, fresh seafood and fine wine, averaged $30 including tip. (A Scottish comment). We had a great time. Tom and Joanne Cartwright visited the 9-11 plane crash site by Ligonier, then spent two days at Gettysburg Battlefield Park. We need advice on where to hold next year's Agnew Meeting; David Agnew is getting together in Georgia on Oct. 20 2007, Harmonsburg PA is meeting in late July with over 100 attending, Las Vegas is easy to get to, what other choices?

HISTORY OF Lame and EAST ANTRIM by Felix McKillop King James was advised that it would be in the monarch's best interest if this stronghold beside a good harbour was held by the Crown. At this time Lame was known as Inver-ln-Laherne and a pat ent was granted by the Crown to hold weekly markers on Thursdays and an annual fair on Septem ber 21st By the Census of 1831 the lands of Inver, Carron, and Clondumolis were in the estate of the Earl of Donegall and the other portion of Larne Parish in the Estate of the Earl of Antrim. 0"GNIMHS AND AGNEWS One of the families who acquired land were the Agnews of Lochnaw in Wigtownshire who purchased property from the Earl of Antrim. Some time between 1620 and 1622, Sir Patrick Agnew came into property in Kilwaughter, including Ballykeel property which had previously belonged to the O'Gnimhs. They acquired other property in the same area and by 1636 were the principal landowners in the parish of Kilwaughter. They owned Ballykeel, Lealies, Drum- nahoe, Two Quarters of Kilwaughter (Castle Demense, Drumnadonaghy, and Dollderahonie. Alexander and Gilbert Agnew received , in 1637, a 41 year lease of Ballenbollyrath (Ballyboley), a townland between Ballyhampton and Ballycraigy.
The O'Gnimhs were granted lands by the first Earl. Records for about 1625 show that the Earl of Antrim granted the lands of Ballycrinlaw (Greenland) and Ballynocreage (Ballycraigy) to John O'Gneeve (O'Gnimh) of Ballyhampton and the area known as Mullagboy (Ballymullock) and Tabbermore (Ballytaber) to Fordorragh McMulmorro O'Gneeve and Daniel O'Gneeve.
The O'Gnimhs, as hereditary bards to the MacDonnell and the Clanneboy O'Neill clans, en joyed a prestigious position in earlier days. Their task would have been to compose verses which commemorated important events. Being poets they controlled much of the written word and oral language and therefore held much influence. A rath within Kilwaughter in 1641 called "Lisdrumbard" in the townland of Lowtown, indicates an area owned at one time by the bardic O'Gnimhs. At some stage it seems the name O'Gnimhs died out and was re placed by Agnew.
CAIRNCASTLE The old stone castle at the sea beyond Ballygally Head, sometimes referred to as 'O'Halloran's Castle', was said by Dobbs writing in 1683, to be the residence in olden times of a bard called O'Gneeve (O'Gnimh) or Agnew. It is said to have been erected by Anglo-Norman, Duncan Fitzgilbert who owned lands in the area in the early 13th century. The local parish of Cairncastle is named after this castle on the rocks, the ruins of which can be seen close to the Coast Road today.

AGNEWS HILL Agnew's Hill which overlooks the town of Larne is named after the O'Gnimh or Agnew family. In the summer of 1826, Agnew's Hill caught fire. As the boggy land was covered with heather, the flames spread rapidly. The fire continued to burn throughout the summer months for 13 weeks and deep trenches were dug to overcome the fire but they jumped over the trenches and continued unabated. The fire spread to Shanes Hill and at one time the peo ple of Larne were fearful that the fire would work it's way down the plains to their town. As the harvest approached, the heavy rains came and the fire was extinguished. Writing in 1833, Lleur R. Boreler remarked that as a result of the fire, the hill was covered with an immense quantity of ashes, in some places nine feet deep.
KILWAUGHTER CASTLE More people know that the present Kilwaughter Castle (now in ruins) was designed by architect John Nash (1752-1833) in 1807 for Richard Jones Agnew. Nash also designed Buckingham Palace, Marble Arch and the Pavillion of Brighton. He designed many other residences in Ireland-his greatest triumph being Killymoon Cas tle, designed in 1806, at a cost of 80,000 pounds.
However, a lesser known fact is that there maws a Scottish-style castle here since the 17th century, possibly 170 years before Nash's contribution. No one is quite sure who built the earlier castle, but it could have been Patrick Agnew between 1636 and 1641, probably mindful, like his relation James Shaw of Ballygally, of the dan ger of attack from the indigenous population. This older T-shaped castle of four storeys was incorporated into Nash's design as the west wing of the new castle in 1807. Close to the castle is the Moot Field where it is be lieved a fortified building of some kind previously existed.
Edward Jones adopted the name Agnew after marrying the only daughter of William Agnew. He represented the County of Antrim in Parliament from 1792 to 1798 and traveled from Kilwaughter to Dublin to attend parliament Edward Jones Agnew purchased Ballygally Castle in 1820. He died in 1834. In 1848, Edward Jones Agnew's illegitimate son, William Agnew, inherited the Kilwaughter Estate. He died in 1891 and with no issue of his own willed the property to his niece Mary Maria Augusta, who had earlier married a distinguished Italian nobleman, Count Igo Balzani, with only one grand-daughter to succeed him. The local school, Agnew-Balzani Primary School was named in memory of her. The Countess' daughter, Gwendoline, or Madame Volansin as she was known, was the last of the Agnews to own the castle of Kilwaughter.
Countess Balzani leased Kilwaughter Castle to Belfast linen merchant, John Gait Smith and his American wife Bessie in 1892. Mr Gait Smith was directly related to Edward Jones Agnew. An ancestor, the first John Gait Smith (born 1731), married Jane, a sister of Edward Jones Agnew. John Gait Smith died in 1899 and his wife continued to live in the castle. Some of the furnishings of the castle were put up for auction in October 1922 and around 1923 Mrs Gait Smith went back to America. When she crossed the Atlantic, Mrs Smith took with her some of the furniture and otherdecorative accessories from Kilwaughter Castle to her home "Rockwood" Wil mington, Delaware. '
IN 1940, WITH Britain and Italy at war, the castle was seized as enemy property and used for military purposes during World War 2 (1935-1945). American soldiers lived in the Castle for some time during the war In 1951 the castle was dismantled by the new owner, E. H. McConnell (metals) Ltd. Belfast, who had purchased it in or der to recover the lead, woodwork, and slates. The firm removed the roof which was covered with lead. This once proud castle is now in ruins.

A Journey to discover the Agnew Family in America By David Clark Agnew AIA
Part II
In June 2006,1 attended the Boyce/Agnew family reunion in Alliance Ohio. I met a lot of family members, and was particularly struck by the resemblance of my Uncle William whom I had not seen in forty years, to that of an ink drawing of Col. Agnew from "The book of the Agnews". We'll let the Agnewsletter readers decide. I kept my self busy (while chowing down on the great potluck food and respectful conversation with our relatives who might have some personal remembrance of Great grandfather William Nelson Agnew, or perhaps a story of his father John Agnew (1818). William was 14 when his father died in 1873. Aunt Anna Agnew-Trombetta gave me a photo of John and Wil liam, but that's all there isl The search goes on.
With the reunion over, and my father Raymond in tow, we set course for Pennsylvania to Beaver and Alleghany County's in search of the elusive great great grandfather John Agnew (1818). John married Elizabeth Harper (1830) on Sept 6,1853. Their first child, William Nelson was born Sept 20,1855.1 have found John in the 1870 census. He and the family were living in Moon Township, Allegheny County. I also found one John Agnew (age 31) in the 1850 Census living with William and Jane and five other siblings. It seemed likely John would have remained in Moon Township where he married, and had children throughout the 1860's. I could not find him in the 1860 census however, and we know most of the eight children were born in the 1860's. It is unlikely that the family would have moved considering that John was a farmer probably living on the family farm, all the children were young and the Civil War was blazing. However I searched Census for him in the surrounding Counties to no avail. We don't know for certain that John's father was the previously identified William, however this seems logical as the common practice of naming the first bom male after the father's father. I have also identified a William living in Moon Township in 1840; however it gets more difficult here. The 1840 Census and all preceding Census' only identify the head of household, and the ages and gender of those living in the family.
In this case, William is head of Household. Then free white persons are identified in categories as males and females and in age ranges: under 5 years old, 5 to 10,10 to 15, Etc... I was able to identify family members corresponding to the age and gender criteria albeit; 10 years younger then they would be in the 1850. Seems plausible.
We arrived in Moon Township during a summer monsoon downpour. It was time to find the Presbyterian Church, where I am hopeful to identify the locations of churchyards and cemetery. The Presbyterians keep good records, and staff members are very helpful. We stopped at the United Presbyterian Church at Mt Sharon along Broadhead Road (Beaver Grade). We asked the church staff if they had records for Agnew's. There were none, they suggested we try the original site of the Ohio Pres byterian Church (1831). It is located at Evergreen and Shafer across from the UP church. There we found several Agnew's, Purdy's, McCoy's, Harpers, Wilson's and Reeds, all with connections to my family line. Archibald Agnew (1823) married Mary Jane Purdy. Archibald was a prosperous farmer in the area. One of the sons of my Great great grandfather John Agnew (1818) was named Archibald. We were unsuccessful in finding the resting place of John.
Our Journey next took us to McConnellsburg in Fulton County. My mission was to Find the Mansion house of James Agnew, as well as take my father to visit the graves of Col. James Agnew. Raymond really enjoyed visiting the family plot at the United Presbyterian Church yard. He took a lot of photos and found the family interesting.
I had done a through job of research and suspected that the 1883 historic map of McConnellsburg that I used on a previous trip to find Col. James' home may have been inaccurate. I decided to visit the Fulton County Planning Dept to obtain infor mation and confirm my suspicions. I showed the Planning Director my map which they found very interesting. They did con firm that the map had an error. Second Street runs in the north-south direction and intersects Main Street at the town square
Page 7 The County building is located on the northwest side of the square. First and Third Street's parallel Second St. with First to the west and third to the east. The 1883 historic map identifies Third St. to the west, and First St. to the east. I thanked the staff for clarifying the error, and allowed them to make a copy of my map for their archives. They suggested that we should visit the library where the Fulton Co. Historical Society maintains a small office on a part time basis.
Incidentally the County building Is the Courthouse built in 1848, in which Col. James Agnew donated the clock In the tower which still exist today."
We proceeded to Third and Lincoln Way, and found the Colonel's mansion. The mansion was built In 1793 on the original site of Col. James Agnews' Great cove trading post. The mansion was designed in the early Georgian colonial style and constructed of cut stone quarried from the surrounding area. The mansion' facade is symmetrical with the entry door centered between two double hung windows on each side. The second floor has five double-hung windows above the windows and door on the first floor. The windows have six by six panes of glass. The roof Is a simple gable. The side elevations are capped gabled eaves with clipped cornice. The roof is corrugated metal, but originally would have been slate shingles. There Is an asymmetrical double porch on the east side of the front facade. This feature was most likely added In the late 1800's. On the east elevation facing Third St. in the uppermost gable end is a wooden sign stating
Bui,t 1793". In early colonial days a portion of real estate taxes were levied based on the number of panes in the windows. This often signified wealth of the owner. "The Colonel's home was affectionately known as the "Ministers Hotel" from the cordial hospitality with which clergyman off all denominations were received there, and entertained in a manner of hospitality being maintained on a generous scale for weeks and months at a time."
Page 8 The Dobbin House Court House (Clock donated by Col. Agnew in 1848
We took the self-guided driving tour of the Battlefield National Monument. It was the first time Dad had visited Gettysburg. The following morning we took a three hour bus tour guided by a Historian who was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The tour progressed sequentially through the battles as they occurred for the three day campaign culminating with Pickett's Charge after which the Confederates, disengaged and retreated to Virginia. I had the opportunity to hike up Big Round Top to examine the positions Union Col. Chamberlain held after repeated charges. If the Confederates had breached this position, they most likely would have won the Battle of Gettysburg. Many Agnew's fought at Gettysburg, to mention but one was Chaplain Benjamin Lashells Agnew of the 76th Pennsylvania Infantry, a son of Smith Agnew who grew up at Dobbin House. Following our adventure on the battlefield, we proceeded fifteen miles south to Emmittsburg, Maryland to visit the Catho lic and Presbyterian cemetery's to search for the resting places of John Agnew the first born son of Capt James Agnew. John was a Judge, farmer, and owned a Tavern. His wife Mary was Catholic, somewhat unusual considering he was Presby terian. We found some Agnew' in the St Thomas churchyard, but not John or Mary. Perhaps children or relations. We returned to Gettysburg to visit Lower Marsh Creek Presbyterian Cemetery to spend some time with our ancestor's the first Agnew's in America. Since my first visit two years before, the Presbyterian guardians of the Cemetery have made sig nificant improvements to rehabilitate, document and preserve this sacred ground. A full survey of all grave sites was pre formed and documented. The survey created a grid system over the cemetery consisting of cells that measured 40' by 50' each and designated with alpha-numeric characters. All the grave stones were cleaned, and reset in position. A beautiful fence was installed around the perimeter to protect the cemetery. A new granite monument with a brass plack was commis sioned and installed on the grounds to honor all Revolutionary War soldiers buried here. James, David, and Samuel the son's of Capt James Agnew are identified as well as Patterson's, Wilson's, and Dobbins, all with connections to Agnew's. This ground is the sacred resting place of those brave men, who began a new life in the wilderness who laid the foundation for Agnew family in America.
A special thanks to Paul and Julie Davis of Gettysburg who are but two of the Presbyterian Guardians of Lower Marsh Creek Cemetery.

Transcribed by Kathi Andreasen Source: California State Library, Microfilm, Colusa Sun dated Thursday Evening, November 10, 1904
DEATH OF OLDEST MAN ON GREAT REGISTER
Several years ago J. M Agnew1 conducted a nursery at Colusa2 but removed from here to Grand Island 3 On Monday he was found dead in his house near Grimes5, where he resided alone. Somehow, in the election excitement, we lost the fact and did not announce it. He was the oldest man on the great register of Colusa County, being 91 years of age. He was a very old resident of this county also. On Monday forenoon Mrs. D. N. Ainger, who resides very close by, went in to see him. He had beans and potatoes cooking on the stove, and he was hobbling around as best he could with his rheumatism; and when she asked him how he felt, he said "very well", and sat down in a chair. As she went out she told him she would call again soon. She stepped in again in the course of an hour or so and there he sat in the same posi tion, except that his head was to one side, but he was dead. The machinery had simply worn out and stopped running. There had been no struggle; he sat down to rest and he is at rest. He was the father of Mrs. W. B. Sublett6 of Berkeley . We have known J. M. Agnew for many years and he has always been held in high esteem by his neighbors. Those who knew him best liked him best; in fact one had to know him well to know him at all, for he was quiet and unobtrusive. The remains were buried at College City 8 Wednesday.
(1) John Myers Agnew, son of Brant Agnew and Anne Catherine "Catie" Myers. (2) Colusa, Colusa County, California. (3) Grand Island, Colusa County, California, unincorporated town near Grimes, California. (4) Monday, November 7, 1904. (5) Grimes, Colusa County, California. (6) I believe that this is Margaret Victoria "Maggie" Agnew Welch Sublette. (See additional info). (7) Berkeley, Alameda County, California. 8) College City, Colusa County, California, unincorporated town near Arbuckle, California.
(John Myers Agnew is the son of Brant and Anne Catherine Myers Agnew. Brant is the son of William and Margaret Brant Agnew. Anne Catherine is the daughter of James Myers who was a Hessian soldier in the Revolutionary War. This informa tion was sent to me by Kathi Andreasen in CA)

AGNEWS IN TRADES Agnew entries from Belfast directories available online with some other names that may represent possible masters apprentices or collateral families in the same trades.
Note the lack of such entries in the first years of the 19th century with a rapid growth after the Napoleonic Wars suggests a probable wartime increase in apprentice trades within the military together with a population shift away from country agrarian pursuits. This re flects the long recognized rise of a burgeoning urban society in the wake of early industrialization. Agnews clearly followed the na tional trend in occupations and locale.

Page 30 Tiny URL helps to make links shorter By Etan Horowitz, of The Orlando Sentinel
Ever get an e-mail with a link that doesn't open when you click on it? Chances are it didn't work because it was so long that it took up more than one line, meaning you have to copy and paste the whole thing for the site to load. With Tiny URL and url Tea, you can turn a long, messy link into a short one so you can easily share working links in e-mails and other documents. 1. Copy the link you want to shorten. Notorious offenders include map services such as Google Maps and MapQuest and online shopping sites Amazon or Best Buy. 2. Go to tinyurl.com or urltea.com and paste the link into the blank field. Click "Make Tiny URL!" or "Make it Shorter!" 3. Copy the new, shortened URL, paste it inot an open Web browser and hit "Enter" to make sure that it works. Paste the shortened URL into an e-mail or other document. 4. The difference between TinyURL and urITea is that urITea lets you choose some text to put in at the end of the link that describes what the site is about. To do this, simply add a "?" at the end of the urITea address and then type in any text you want. 5. Shortened links from TinyURL and urITea will stay active forever.

The Reception Area of the doctor's office was filled to capacity, but the doctor was working at his usual snail's pace. After waiting two hours, an old man slowly stood up and headed for the door. When everyone stopped talking to look at him, he announced, "Well, I guess I'll just go home and die a natural death.

Page 33 HELP! We ve promised you Progressive lineage charts in every issue and we intend to do just that. However in checking out the charts before printing, we have noted that there's a lot more there than we had anticipated We printed Sir Crispin's progressive line in eleven pages because we didn't delve deeply into the uncles and cousins The rest of the charts are widely spread. To print the progressive charts of James Agnew of 1711 at eleven pages per quar ter, it will take a little over three years to print (that's providing nothing else is added to his lineage) We are usinq the PAF (Personal Ancestry File) file for our input. This is the program put out by the Mormon Library. We wanted to do the descendancy chart, which is more compact, and therefore wouldn't take as many pages however we were unable to print the descending lines, for reasons unknown to us. If any of you out there have any suggestions or any other thoughts on this, please let us know We will review any suq- gestion and see if we can come up with a better plan. The Missing Links: We have lineage for Lois Schieck, Jean Schnieider, Albert C. Agnew, Arthur W. Agnew, Peter Tomlin Agnew, and Kenneth H. Agnew: however, we do not have them linked to the main branch. We would appreciate any help we can get. Just send us what you have and we will evaluate, coordinate, or whatever is necessary to tie up the loose ends and get it printed for everyone to see. Who knows, these Agnews could be close relatives of yours.
