Biography

Agnes was mentioned in her father's will, and he left instructions for the sale of his property in order to provide for Agnes and her mother.

"About the year of 1762 or ’63 Walter and Martha Davis had a daughter born who in early infancy was subject to epilepsy, by which her reasoning powers were dethroned, and she became a charge to her family. By his will, her father set apart a fund to be put at interest for her support. The fund was ample, and her brother William, who was executor of his father’s will, took charge of her until her death; which did not occur until the year of 1825." - Dr Parks ^[1]
