In the novel it refrences how one of the former members of the family worked out a prophecy to make a tidy sum on the stock market, and that Anges was pretty vague in terms of general prophecies but much better when it came to predictions about her own family.

Given that Agnes blew up an entire village, the rest of her family (who got the book as her last bequest) probably assumed it was wise to 'get the fuck out of Dodge' as it were and leave England ahead of reprisals. Using Agnes knowledge they probably ended up heading to the new world at some point relatively early as there were more opportunities and less wars, so would no doubt have met all sorts of interesting people to marry etc. From the look of the first episode they live in California, and I think Agnes also made a round about prediction about investing in Apple Computers...
