"This Joshua was not the Joshua of Boston who m Elizabeth Atkins, raised a family there and has a stone on Copp's Hill, though such identity has been guessed in these columns, from incomplete data.

We only know his wife's name, Thankful. ... it is likely that his children have been assigned to other branches when it comes to their marriages, and as yet, we cannot get them untangled." Children (no numbers assigned): Thankful Atwood b 17 Aug 1729; published to Moses Rich 16 Dec 1758 Keziah Atwood b 22 Feb 1732/3 Henry Atwood b 11 Mar 1735 Elizabeth Atwood b 27 Sep 1737 ("Annals of Provincetown give Henry Jr b 11 Oct 1735 and give last one as Elisha ...") 521 Joseph Atwood "I should guess Joseph was an oysterman and fisherman, as one of that name sold such things on the Boston market about this time and his records are at Provincetown and Falmouth ME as if he lived in these places alternatively." 5211 Bathsheba Atwood b 1 Aug 1723; published 12 Dec 1741 at Brunswick ME to Thomas Berry 5212 Samuel Atwood published 14 Nov 1745 at Falmouth to Mary Cocks; m 17 Jul 1748 at Falmouth to Mary Randall.
