Agnietie Truax (or du Trieux) was said to be born on Christmas Day and baptized on 29 Dec 1675 in New Amsterdam. Her parents were Jacob du Trieux and Lysbeth Post.
Agnes married Benjamin Stout sometime before 1711, most likely in New Jersey. Some genealogists think he may have been married before to a Mary Leonard. In 1712, Agnes is a member of the Middletown Baptist Church and Benjamin has served as Sheriff of Monmouth. By 1715, they have moved to Appoquinimink Hundred, Delaware. (This becomes New Castle, Kent Co, DE) Benjamin appears to already have children when his father, Richard Stout, dies in 1705. [WFT 9 June 1703 - proved 6 Oct 1705, Middletowne, NJ. Six sons (including Benjamin) and 3 daughters are named, as well as a dau/law - meaning there is a dec'd son = 10 known children.
Benjamin gifts land in 1721 to adult sons Charles (of nothing further, except he sells this land in 1727) and to Benjamin. (d. Delaware 1740: WFT 25 Apr 1740, proved 10 June)
Father Benjamin died in 1734, with Agnes and son Jacob petitioning the court to sell the house. 1740 is not only the year Agnes' son Benjamin died but also the year her daughter Agnes and husband Alexander Blackshear sell his inherited land and begin their move to North Carolina. Several accounts say Agnes (and one other person not named) accompany them to NC. She may have died there sometime around (or after) 1745. The other person is not Jacob's or Benjamin's widow (Elizabeth Lewis) as they can be accounted for in Delaware. It is unknown what happened to son Charles or who this traveling companion might have been.
Anyone having further information on Agnes after 1740, please share. The above biography is a compilation of several accounts. Other than the land records, WFTs (Wills and Final Testaments) or other court actions, the story needs more proof.

- Note on Find a Grave:
Benjamin Stout did NOT die on 10 June 1734. That is the date his will was proved in court. A person has to have died BEFORE the will is proved and recorded in the court records. His will was written 25 April 1734. That means he died sometime between the day he wrote his will (25 April 1734) and the will was proved in court (10 June 1734). How long it takes for the administrator(s) to present the will to court may be a matter of days, weeks, months, or even years. Most generally it is between a few days to a month or so. To correct in dating Benjamin's death, it should be recorded as "he died between 25 April 1734 and 10 June 1734" or more simply, "he died in 1734."
