HarperCollins Publishers Ltd., Toronto, ON The author Margaret Atwood is descended from Joshua and Mary Atwood who emigrated from Truro MA to Barrington NS in about 1760. The Atwood name was common by the early 1900s, in the south shore area (Atwoods Brook near Shag Harbour on southernmost tip of NS). (The author notes the connection fo the name Atte Wode which she claims translates as "Pearl of the Woods".) This line descends to Carl Atwood b 1906 Clyde River NS m 1935 to Margaret Killam, d/0 Dr. Harold Edwin Killam and Ora Louise Webster. (This was a double wedding as Kathleen Killam married at the same time.) Children of Carl and Margaret:: 1 Harold Atwood b Feb 1937 2 Margaret Eleanor Atwood b Nov 1939 3 Ruth Atwood b 1951 Ruth Atwood (not the same one!)
