She is down from Patton Atwood, who had a large family around Rockford, IL, in the early 1800s, and whose descendants are still prominent in that area. I'd like to share info and compare notes with anyone else who is also interested in this line. I'll try to remember to check back here periodically, cuz i forget how to include my email address here.
