Note: Since no probate record or similar type record has been found for John, the father above, it has been difficult to establish this family. Several of the children are only presumed to belong to this group. There is little, if any, doubt concerning the parentage of Harman, John and Agnes, children no. 2,3, and 5. Abigail Atwood Shurtleff, great granddaughter of John, child no. 3, she herself born 1755, made a statement to the effect that John had two brothers Stephen and William. John, Stephen and Henry were closely associated in the Plymouth Colony, having land adjoining each other, and by their actions indicating a close relationship. Johanna, child no. 1, is know to be a child of a John Atwood, and since the above father is the only John Atwood known to have been in this parish at that time, it is assumed she was his first child. It could have been a former marriage, but there is no additional evidence. The claim that a Mary and Philip Atwood also belong to this family can not be supported by any evidence.
