Hi Sandra I sure would like a copy of the below genealogy either as a text file or an Adobe.pdf file. I have always suspected my ancestor, Benjamin Atwood was the son of Jedediah Atwood and Susannah Deming. Perhaps this report will give some clue's.

Hey folks, I thought I'd share a bumper crop of Atwoods from Colleen Norby, who looked up the ATWOODs in the Sacramento Bee index of births, deaths, marriages. (The Sacramento Bee is the newspaper. Yes, from Sacramento...Umm hmm, California ) Her lookup went from 1857 to 1865, and the only thing on it from my family was the (Second) marriage of Melissa Remore ATWOOD, which I already knew. Only it happened in another whole county, so I'm going to dig up this newspaper from somewhere, to see what may have interested a paper from that far away to post the announcement. :) If you see someone you want to know more about, now you know which newspaper to look in for the details.

ok i have traced back my family from present to 1220 to a William Attwode dob aprox 1220 Hooley House England... He would be about my 21Grandfather HA.. anyhow im coming up with the name of Peter De Wyckhurst as his father no mothers name and peter was born approx 1180 also in Hooley House England.. My question is umm why the diff last name??? and has anything gone further back than good ole Peter?? thanks Robyn Atwood

Joanne, I think that is so interesting. Neither group is connected to my Chemung Co./ Steuben Co. group.........YET. Katherine

Hi Folks, I've inquired before, but it never hurts to ask again, being that our list is forever growing. Does anyone have any idea who Peter Atwood's parents were? There are 2 Peter Atwoods and they are often confused. Mine had his marriage intentions to Laura Whitney published in Chester, MA in 1814. That union produced my ggg-grandmother (Sophia Atwood/Daniels), born the same year. Our family records say that she (Sofia) was "part-indian". I believe it is true in seeing the pictures and generations forward. I know her mother, Laura, was of English descent, so that leaves Peter's heritage as the one in question. He remarried in 1825 to Mehitable Phebe Clark and raised another family. (we don't know what ever happened to Laura....and his second wife, Mehitable was listed as "mother" on Sophia's death certificate, so I'm assuming she raised her, not her natural mother, Laura) The only thing we really know about Peter is that he said (on various census) that he was born in NY State.....and probably died there between 1850 and 1860. (he was in China, NY in 1850) Any takers? The mystery continues.... Bev ([email protected])
