Can someone connect his daughter Margaret into this profile? I'm locked from doing it, but she is clearly listed in sources. thank you.

Two questions:

1. While Margaret is mentioned in the narrative as a daughter, there's no source cited for the claim. Do you have a reliable source for this relationship?

2. Does Margaret have an existing profile on WikiTree?
There does not seem to be a profile for these children on Wikitree.  The earliest Margaret Agnew profile was born 1707.

The source cited on Patrick's profile, thepeerage.com, isn't considered a reliable source. On thepeerage.com's page, he cites "Burkes Peerage" which is, unfortunately, also not considered reliable for pre-1500 work. Perhaps more source information can be located. Some examples are given on the project's page for Scotland - Reliable Sources. I'd start with Sir James Balfour Paul's Scots Peerage, which isn't infallible, but usually leads to better source records.
