I'm descended from their daughter, Mary Atwood Kershner b. 1862 in Iowa, married William Kershner about 1880, probably in Wapello Co., IA and died in 1913 in Ottumwa, Wapello Co., IA. I'm attaching a photo of William and Mary Kershner family circa 1890-1900, at the Kershner farm in Wapello co., IA. In the photo is William, Elsie, Mary, Nellie (my 2x gr-grandmother) and Mary's mother, Lucretia Howard Atwood. I have found several Atwood family trees but can't seem to figure out which one my William Atwwod belongs to. Any help would be appreciated.

I have listed below the family of Martha Boley from the 1880 OH/Ross/Colerain census (page 152B). Mary J. Atwood is her daughter. Mary J. has two daughters, Martha C. and Anna E. Both of these daughters are born in Iowa. You should go to this census and see if these are your people. The husband of Mary J., I believe is William Atwood living in another household in Colerain Township (page 156). Do you have access to the census? Are these your people? I've often wondered which Atwood family this is. Martha Boley 62 Mary J. Atwood 32 Martha C. Atwood 12 Anna E. Atwood 9 Samantha J. Atwood 8 Hester J.
