• Notes

  Agnes ancestors were of nobility. See the Spencer genealogy Genforum for William and Agnes. The article that identified Agnes Harris, identified her English family, and started the linkage of her into her royal lines, started with The American Genealogist Vol. 63, 33-45, 1988. Her royal lineage is covered in the RD500 by Gary Boyd Roberts and several references to her intertwining relationships in Roberts' Notable Kin, 1998, both for sale at NEHGS. "There is an interesting sketch on the ancestry and genealogy of the Edwards family of America, for which she is the matriarch, at genealogylibrary.com in "Tyler - Autobiography of William Seymour Tyler, DD, LLD. Although it is a relatively old source, I think it still holds up. Through this line, she is the "mom" to Jonathan Edwards and Aaron Burr." Norris Taylor posted in the Spencer Forum at www.genforum.genealogy.com 2/21/1999, #1019.
