Joanne, 163 ATWOOD families! Wow! And how many years have you been researching? Among your numerous families, do you have any information on the James ATWOOD (wife Mary), from Prince Edward County, VA? I have information from his three children, James, Benjamin, and William, on to the present, but none prior to that. 1771 is as early as I go. I believe this line of ATWOODs came from England sometime in the 1600's. Anything you have would be wonderful!! Thanks in advance for checking. Carol Keppen
