Chris Attwood cattwood53@blueyonder.co.uk wrote on the Attwood List: Sir William Dugdale's "Antiquities of Warwickshire" 1656 lists Members of Parliament for the County of Warwick - named for the 21st Year of the reign of Edward iii (1347/8) one "John de Saundersted" is summoned to attend the Parliament at Westminster from the County of Warwick. Given the well documented link between the Attwoods and Saundersted, particularly at this time, I wonder if this John also used the name Atte Wode and is possibly responsible for the Warwickshire dynasty of the name? Sadly I cant find any other references to a John de Saundersted in WAR. My "One Name Study" proceeds slowly but steadily - I will soon be posting a transcription of Attwood/ Atwoods in the 1841 census on my website and am continuing to enhance (with spouse details, dates, locations etc) the GRO index of Marriages from 1837. I am happy to share any information I have. Please also consider donating your information to my master database and in particular marriage details from 1837.
