Synthesized answer
Based on chapter titles such as "Gleanings from Old Registers of Marriages, Baptisms, and Deaths" and "Gleanings from Wills," Agnew appears to have utilized primary sources such as parish and commissary court registers, as well as wills [2, 3]. These sources likely contain records of marriages, baptisms, deaths, and potentially testamentary documents.
The inclusion of these registers and wills suggests Agnew's historical narrative would be grounded in demographic and genealogical data of the refugees. By examining these records, he could trace the presence and integration of Huguenot exiles, identify their descendants, and potentially infer details about their lives and the communities they established. The "scanty" results from searches in some parochial registers and Commissary Courts indicate that the available information may be incomplete, potentially influencing the comprehensiveness of the historical narrative [2].
