My ggrandfather George Washington Atwood had two children in Panama, Lancaster, Nebraska in 1895 and 1896. It is unknown how long he lived there prior to 1895 but he had his next two children in Brush Colorado in 1899 and 1902. He eventually ended up in Oregon, retiring from the railroad and settling in Scofield, Oregon. His first wife Sarah Hedges may have been from Nebraska, she died in child birth and there is little information on her line. George later married Sarah's cousin Maud VanWinkle. It has been my assumption that George travelled with another Atwood and Frye relative in his railroad career. It seems that everywhere he went, there are a substantial amount of Atwood's and Frye's that are not descendants of his. His mothers maiden name was Frye. Perhaps there will be some common threads to link our families in Nebraska. My best guess is that George travelled with one of the children of his fathers half brother Alonzo but I can't seem to find any evidence of that. George's father William was in the beer manufacturing business with Alonzo. Let me know if you find something in common, the migration of George W. Atwood has been my primary focus for the last 6 months.
