Robert Agnew settled on Raredon Run, on the Beaver-Allegheny County line, in 1790.  The photos below are of his son William's farm on Old Flaugherty Run Road.  When I saw it, I thought that this farm was probably originally Robert's.

A careful look at old and new maps suggests that Robert's land on Raredon Run was further southwest, near Bocktown and Clinton

William built the farmhouse pictured below in 1831, and biographical accounts of Robert said that he died at the home of his son. 

Some views of Raredon Run in Bocktown, now just a country crossroads:

William Agnew, son of Robert and Esther, married Jane McCoy, daughter of David and Nancy McCoy.  The old David McCoy house near Five Points:

Archibald McCoy, son of David and Nancy McCoy, married Jane Leitch, daughter of Daniel Leitch (and niece of my 3rd great-grandmother Catherine Leitch Agnew).  They built this home on property originally owned by David McCoy (now Mt. Olivet Catholic Cemetery):
