First.... I made an error in the calculation of George B Atwood's birthdate. should have been ~1832 !! I apologize for my haste. Second... I found more information on George. George Bartlett Atwood was the 3rd child and second son of Zenas and Hannah (Bliss) Atwood. He was born in Sandwich, Massachusetts in October of 1829, according to Benjamin Shurtleff (1912). Zenas and Hannah removed to Providence, Rhode Island by 1846. Around 1857 George B Atwood married Eliza Hines of Manchester, England, and had three children: George B Atwood Jr b 14 Oct 1858, d 18 Aug 1859 Emily Eliza Atwood b 26 Mar 1860, d 2 May 1862 Charles Herbert Atwood b Feb 1861 According to Shurtleff, George B Atwood drown in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland on 29 May 1862. Eliza (Hines) Atwood died 11 Mar 1865. This poor family suffered a lot of heartache in such a short time !! Did she leave Charles H Atwood an orphan ? If so where did he go ? His uncle ??....... Sylvester Bliss Atwood ? his aunt ??......... Mary Ann (Dudley) Atwood ? Anyone have more ?
