It seems that George Burgar has a wife Margaret Williamson and a son Walter Burgar. Later Walter Burgar married Barbara Gaudie and has children in 1760 onwards. One of the children is Agnes, so it is likely that the Agnes Burgher (Widow) in the above list is his sister.
George was born in 1680 according to his appearance in a court case. So it is likely that Walter and Agnus would be born about 1720.
