Hi All you Atwoods out there. I have been searching for my Atwoods for quite some time now and could only go back as far at Hiram H. Atwood b. 1839 in Fairview, PA, but have recently found out that Hiram's father was Charles Atwood b. in VT. Where in VT I do not know yet! I believe he may be the son of Peter Atwood and Abigail Silver, but don't have proof yet. However we are going to a "Family" reunion in Branson, MO in June, and I am taking my information and am planning to "PICK some ATWOOD Brains". There is suppose to be over 100 Atwood Desendants there and surely someone can tell me something that they might know. I found in the 1850 PA Census that there was a Charles ATWOOD b. in VT with a wife Elizabeth, a son Hiram 7, a son Alonzo 3 and a daughter Sarah 1. That would mean a difference of 4 years in what I believe Hiram's age to be. According to what I found on the internet Peter Atwood and Abigail Silver, had sons named Hiram and Alonzo. Coinsidence? Could be! But families did pass down names. Anyway, I am going to the reunion and if anyone out there is seeking info on this same family please contact me, I may be able to ask some questions for you too. My line of this family settled in Butte, NE in the early 1900's. Lots of ATWOODS are buried in the Butte, NE cemetery. I would also appreciate any suggestions anyone might have as what I should check out before I go. Thanks Joyce Also seeking information of the DIX, and HANSHEW families that are connected to the ATWOODS. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
