| John is most likely to be the illegitimate son
of Thomas Agate and Elizabeth Walder and the subject of a bastardy bond
in 1771. The best evidence of the connection comes from the legacy in Thomas Agate's will to John's son Thomas. DETAILS An Elizabeth Walder was buried at Bolney in 1816, age 77. |
