[7] Agnes is named in the 1601 will of her mother Barbara as “Agnes Cayton my daughter” and in the will of John Pettie, dated 26 Mar 1575 (Borthwick Institute), as “Agnes Burgon my doughter in lawe” (stepdaughter). John also leaves a calf to a Richard Burgon, but no relationship to him is stated. It is possible that Barbara’s husband Richard also had one or more children by an earlier wife.
