Agnes Robson married Thomas Henderson, and had children christened
in Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland. Thomas was only sixteen years old
at the birth of his first child in 1668. It is likely that Agnes was
also young at the time of her marriage, so was born in about the
same year as Thomas. No Agnes Robson is christened in Dalkeith, but
an Anna Robissone was christened in 1651. Anna and Agnes are most
likely the same person, making her parents Alexander Robesone and
Alisone Campbell. Thomas and Agnes named their first son Alexander.
