Agnes Knox

AGNES LYLE

The ancestry of this lady is presently unknown. It has been suggested that she might be a daughter of Lord Lyle but her name is not mentioned in Sir James Balfour Paul's account of the family of Lord Lyle.

The Reverend Charles Rogers says this of her: "Respecting Uchter Knox, one of the arbiters of 1489, Mr Crawford adds: 'His lady is Agnes Lyle; "the presumption is that she was Lord Lyle’s daughter," because there was no other family of that name, and they resided just in the neighborhood at the castle of Duchall, not above two or three miles distant."
