Soon after obtaining this they learn that "Leigh Atwood and others" had previously obtained a license from Lieut. Govenor Nanfan to purchase these "vacant lands" of the Indians, and that this license expired. Upon this information they took measures to jump the claim of Leigh Atwood and others by a petition of which this is a copy: "To his excellency, Edward, Lord Viscount Cornbury, Capt General and Govenour in Chiefe of Her Majesty's Province of New York in America and Vice-Admiral of the same, in Council, Etc. "The Humble Petition of Robert Lurting and Sampson Broughton for themselves and Company, Most Humbley Sheweth, that there is a certaine tract or parcell of unappropriated lands in Dutchess County, in this province, which Leight Atwood, Esq and others obtained a license from Capt Nanfan when he was Lieutenant Governor of the said province, to purchase of the Indians in a certain limited space of time, which is now elapsed and nothing done therin; wherefore your Excellencies above Petitioners most humbly pray your Excellency would be pleased to grant unto your said Petitioners, a license to purchase the said unappropriated Lands of the Indians, owners of the same. "And your petitioners as in duty bound shall ever pay. Robert Lurting Samp.

He married Elizabeth Coleman, born ca1765-70 probably in Holland. John Atwood moved to Miss and was listed on the 1820 census of Miss with wife, 3 male children and 3 female children. From family information I can account for 4 sons and 1 daughter: Jackson (possibly John Jackson) Atwood, Henry Atwood, Washington (possibly G W) Atwood, Andrew Atwood, and Betsy Atwood who married Richard King. Jackson Atwood shows place of birth as Ga, born 1 Jan 1800. Probably married in Ga, date unknown, to Elizabeth Wood. children: James W, John B, Elbert, Lucy Ann, America, Elizabeth Jane, Susan, Miriam, Aaron, Izilla, Syrentha married to Neavon McNease, and India.
