Agnes Cunningham is thought to be a possible daughter of James Cunningham and his wife Margaret. Although Agnes is not specifically named in the will of James Cunningham (he names his "daughters, each and every of them, 1 shilling", her (then future) husband George Daugherty is listed as one of the qualified executors of his will (providing the rationale for Agnes' probable parentage):

Page 382.—16th January, 1760 (33d year of Reign). James Cunningham's will, of Colony and Dominion of Virginia—To wife Margaret; to son Moses, infant; to Hugh Cunningham, 1 shilling; to daughter Elizabeth, 1 shilling; to James Cunningham, son to son Jacob; to John Cunningham, son to son Isaac; to daughter Mary; to daughters, each and every of them, 1 shilling. Executors, wife and son Moses. Teste: Malcom Allen, Robt. Bowen, Lilly Bowen. Proved, 19th March, 1765, by Malcom Allen and Lilly Bowen. Margaret is dead. Moses qualifies, with Hugh Cunningham, Geo. Dougherty.

Based upon her approximate marriage date, it is likely that Agnes was one of the younger daughters of James Cunningham, and that she was likely one of his daughters left with 1 shilling in his will. More research/sources are needed to prove this relationship. Additional information from other researchers is welcome, please list sources.
