"The first Atwood on record was William Attewode in England in 1203. The name was said to be derived from the family living in or near a woods, thicket, or grove of trees. My family (Raymond Thomas Atwood) visited the old home of the Atwoods in England, which was known as "Sanderstead Manor", a large building with many rooms. It had its own church, with about 15 small farms. It originally was made up of about 3000 acreas and was in the Atwood Family since 1346. The property was located in Surrey, Co., the largest concentration of Atwoods being in Surrey and Kent Counties, just south of London." Ancestry Family Tree - jmullins@leo.net. Aug, 2002.
