Thank you for the responses I have had so far. It is enlightening that people are trying to help. I found the Agnew-Moffet hint of great interest due to so many surnames which turn up in Canada and I certainly have found collaterals in Canada. I will continue to pursue it.
The Samuel Agnew-Elizabeth Henry line is one I have examined inside and out because I suspect we relate to it. My John is constantly attached to it because his birth year and that of their son is so close. Sam and Elizabeth's son never left the UK where he served in Englan in the military and then returned to Ireland. He is buried in Donegore with many of his ancestors. I suspect Samuel Agnew had a brother who would have been the father to my John. I believe William of Ballysavage was Samuel's brother and I know SAmuel had a sister Jane who married James Rea and lived at Tobergill. Many of the descendants are here in the States and some of the Reas lived almost next door to my John, but I have not been able to connect them.
Thanks for you input.
