I believe that Agnes Maxwell should be added as her child per sources. http://www.thepeerage.com/p1885.htm#i18848. Please add if you agree or allow me to join and add. Thanks.

Dennis, Anges Maxwell is showing a birthdate of 1530, which is before Agnes Herries was supposedly born. Both profiles need much better sources, but if you track down a few I'd be happy to help you add the daughter.
