FAMILY GATHERINGS
.There was an Agnew reunion in Harmonsburg, Pennsylvania on July 28th, 2007 in Gibson Park., The organizer is Tom Rea. ([email protected]). This was their 87th annual reunion from a group of four brothers who immigrated from Northern Ireland. (They were Presbyterians)C1870. They had their first family gathering in 1920. The Agnews were the largest dairy farmers in the area; their wives are all great cooks, so if you go to one of these functions, be sure to take your appetite along. Because we received notice between newsletters, we send announcements to whomever we had an e-mail address for. Perhaps next year, we'll have notice in time for the May 2008 Agnewsletter, and everyone will receive notice in time. I believe their family gatherings are held in July of each year. There will be a 2-day International Gathering of the Clans and Highland Games in Holyrood Park (Scotland), to be held over the weekend of July 25tn and 26th, 2009. More info in the November 2007 issue of the Agnewsletter.

From: "Bill Agnew"
•EDITOR'S NOTE: Above is a partial E-Mail message from Bill Agnew of England. His con cerns are two-fold. He feels that the newsletter should print "portraits" of it's members so that we might better identify with each other. That was a thought that was running through our mill. So, we have decided to do this: Everyone of you members, send in a photograph (printable and legible) of yourself or yourself and spouse, or of the whole family. Along with the photo, send a blurb giving your Name(s), place of birth, four generations of ancestry, and an E-Mail address and a short paragraph about yourselves to help others to get to know you. All photos and information will be com piled in a booklet called The Agnew Clan or any other better name you might suggest. The booklet will be printed and sent out about September 2008 . Secondly, he feels there should be a contact network for the younger generation to contact their distant relatives, many of whom they have no knowledge. This will be a little trickier. First, it's up to you to convince your children that they want to do this. They must be age 17 or younger. Then they must send in their photo with their name, age, place of birth, what State or Country they now live in AND at least a five generation chart of themselves, their parents, their grandparents , and their great-grandparents. This will help them identify their relation to each other by checking through their own lineage for links. Their E- Mail address would be most helpful for contacting each other. We will need their addresses to mail the booklet to them; however, their ad dresses will not be printed for security reasons. We would probably need the same amount of time to organize this also, so it'll probably be ready about September 2008 . If possible, I'll try to make a chart linking them together to send with the booklet.
Let me hear what you think of these ideas, and we'll go from there. Stephanie Agnew Eledge, Editor E-Mail: [email protected]

Agnew, Ph.D., has been a leading scientist in the field of neuroscience for nearly 50 years—all but one of them at the Huntington Medical Research Institutes. On May 12, 2005, he and his family gathered at Pasadena's Uni versity Club with their friends, his laboratory colleagues and many HMRI supporters to celebrate his distinguished career and launch him into retirement. Agnew came to Pasadena as a young man with a Bachelor's degree from Wheaton College and a Master's degree from the University of Illinois in July 1955. Working as a research fellow with HMRI founding directors Robert Pudenz, M.D., and Hunter Shelden, M.D., he made important contributions to the development of the hydrocephalus shunt system that is widely used in the treatment of "water on the brain." Other early research areas included the effects of radiation on the central nervous system, the blood-brain barrier, the formation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the pathophysiology of the choroids plexus, the primary organ of CSF production. In the last 30 years his efforts were directed primarily to the de velopment of implantable electrodes for augmenting or replacing los nerve or brain function, and the effects of electrical stimulation on neural tissue. He earned a Ph.D. in physiology at USC in 1964, then in 1965-66 traveled to Denmark with wife Anne and daughter Kim- berley for a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Copenhagen. There he studied the blood-brain barrier, specifi cally the transfer of glucose and other substances from the blood to the brain with Professor Christian Crone. Back home in Altadena, daughter Michelle joined the family and Bill settled in for a long and productive research career in neural prosthetics. Printed from the HMRI new the William F. Agnew sent to me. This is only part of the article. Page 6 VOLUME XIV, ISSUE — AUGUST 2007 THE AGNEWSLETTER
Possibly, due to a printing error, two pages of lineage, entitled "Second Generation" was left out of the Agnewsletter of May 2007. However, because the 2nd generation is repeated in the third genera tion as parents, we will not need to go back and amend what we have printed, but will continue with the progressive charts as promised.
In this issue we will print the progression of #24 of the May 2007 Agnewsletter, Sir Andrew Agnew of Lochnaw, 5th Baronet. This line will be printed all the way down to the family of Sir Crispin Agnew, Chief of the Agnew Clan.
In future issues we will continue with #21 Samuel Agnew b:1709; #22 James Agnew of Baloo b:7/31/1711; and #23 John Agnew of Virginia b:1712.
#21 is the ancestral lineage of your Editor, Stephanie Agnew Eledge, and your Treasurer, Sue Agnew Thorne. Also past Convenor, Jack Daily Agnew; William R. Agnew, of Sacramento CA; and Mark M. Agnew of g' vá'ley CA.
#22 is the ancestral lineage of your Past convener, Col. John Park Agnew; your current Convener Joe Dunn; and William Finley Agnew. Also, Dr. David Hayes Agnew (1818-PA).
If you are descended from these lines, send in your chart so we can be sure that you are included. If you're not sure, send in your chart anyway and we'll try to place it where it belongs. Remember, sending in your chart doesn't mean you're doing our work for us; it means that we can merge your chart with that of others and everyone will benefit, including you.
So send in your charts or whatever information you may have; we do have some charts that we haven't been able to connect to our main branches as yet; however, with your help we'll all find our long lost cousins.

Surrounding Capt James were some of his daughters, sons-in-law and grandchildren, Martha Agnew Wilson, (1822) and Elizabeth Agnew Wilson (1774), David Wilson (1822), James (1770), Abraham age 3 (1753), Ephraim age 3 (1770), James Wilson (1776), Samuel Wilson (1810), and Dr.Wm. Patterson (1806), I sketched the location of the gravestones, sixteen in all, noting their names, dates and took these photographs for all to see. I had found our American ancestors. I said a prayer, and I called out to them, and a light breeze began to blow, chilling me to the bone!
I have much to learn. Each discovered fact no matter how insignificant it may be is yet another clue to the family history. It would be two years before I returned to Pennsylvania. May 2004 VOLUME XIV, ISSUE — AUGUST 2007 THE AGNEWSLETTER

A Journey to discover the Agnew Family in America
By
David Clark Agnew, AIA
Parti
In 2004 while on a business trip traveling through Pennsylvania, from Pittsburgh to Washington DC, I visited McConnellsburg to research family history, having previously read about Colonel James Agnew and my family connection to him. My goal was to find the Grave site of Col. Agnew and other Ancestors. I first visited the United Presbyterian Church yard at Second St. and Ayr. There was still snow on the ground, and much to my excitement I discovered the Family plot located on the south side of the churchyard adjacent to the church in a very prominent spot Col. James Agnew' Headstone was surrounded by those of his wife, his daughter, and other Agnews. I drew a sketch of the gravestone locations and took photos. I identified, Mary age 20, (1821), Elizabeth (Ochiltree) Agnew age 43 (1816), Rebecca age 58, (1827), William age 19, (1815), and of course the Colonel age 89 (1855). There were also two other gravestones; one with Martin and the other I could not identify the name. I spent a silent moment in prayer with our ancestors.
I didn't have a lot of time (being on business and all) but I tried to find the location of the old mansion house which from my research I knew still existed. I also had a historic map of town of McConnellsburg in 1883, that I had acquired that indicates the location of the J.W. Great- head Estate. JW was the son of Thomas Greathead the Colonel' partner, who ran the business after he retired. I located a stone mansion house of early colonial Georgian style being the predominate architectural style of the period, which appeared to be the right vintage. The mansion was presently called the Fulton House according to a tourist Kiosk. I photographed the building quickly as I was running out of time, satisfied to have found the house, and the gravesites. I subsequently discovered that I identified the wrong house! I had been careless, rushed, and I violated the first rule of Research : "Always identify, document and confirm at least two separate sources of facts." I would try again! I then proceeded to the Gettysburg visitor's center to take the last battlefield tour of the day. I have always been enamored with American history, military history and particularly the Civil War. My own experience in Vietnam taught me the tragic realities of war, and visiting the Gettysburg battlefield, and museum was an unbelievable solemn experience. Freedom isn't free!
Before leaving the museum that day I stopped back at the visitor's tour center hoping to get information on the location of the cemetery's where the Agnew's might be found. I approached the tour guide station and explained that I was looking for information on my ancestors that had lived in the area long before Gettysburg was a town. One of the guides response was," Oh sure, the Agnew's were all over the area." He suggested that I visit the Adams County Historical Society located in the Lutheran Seminary in Shumacher Hall on Seminary Ridge. Furthermore he drew me a map with specific directions to the Lower Marsh Creek Cemetery. As the time was getting late I resolved to find our Agnew ancestors the following day.
In the morning, I ate a traditional colonial breakfast served in the Dobbin House, dining room next to the fireplace. Breakfast was much like it must have been for the for the twelve children of Ensign David Agnew and his widow Mary Irvin Agnew. My namesake was the 4th son of Capt James Agnew.
Knowing that I must be in Washington D.C. for meetings the next morning, I proceeded hastily to the Adams County Historic Society at the Lutheran Seminary. The staff was so helpful, and genuinely excited that I had traveled from California to find my roots. And indeed I did find a treasure trove at ACHS. I had heard often of "The Book of the Agnew's" but for the first time layed my eyes on it! I spent four hours that flashed by in what seemed only minutes. I saw original letters of James Agnew, legal documents, Plat maps, property warrants, and grant deeds for farms owned by the Agnew's. I was able to pur chase, a book of the history of Adams County, which frequently mentions the Agnew's contributions to settling the area. I also acquired a map of the original Manor of Maske which shows Marsh Creek Cemetery, the farms of James, Samuel, John, David and other families with connections to Agnew's. An Interesting fact is that most of the Agnew's had moved away from Adams County by the 1830's to western Pennsylvania.
Before I could leave I had to meet our ancestors at Lower Marsh Creek. The cemetery was but four miles west of the Semi nary near Black Horse Tavern Road. The Confederate Army crossed Marsh Creek here to assemble for the Battle of Gettys burg. I followed the map and instructions and arrived at Lower Marsh Creek at the top of the hill. I slipped through the gate and began searching for the family plots. There they were, in the southeast section of the cemetery, six headstones, side by side: David Agnew 1780-1851, Mary Agnew (1825), Col. James Agnew II, (1742-1825), David Agnew (1743-1797), James Agnew age 17 (1793), Mary Agnew Dobbin (1824). The gravestones of the Agnew brothers, Col. James Agnew, Capt John, and Ensign' David and Samuel had small weathered copper emblems signifying they are veterans of the Revolutionary War.
