(Info relayed to me by J. Brian Smith, Sept.1993). John Atwood was a farmer.

This village where he dwelt, was ever since called Wood End." He was a twin to Derrick. He settled in Plymouth in 1643. A leather seller in London, he sued his eldest brother, Harman, for lands their father had settled on their youngest brother Richard. Later he lived in Lynn, Massachusets. !Will: Plymouth Col, Folio 46, printed in MD 5:153. Dated 20 Oct 1643, Proved 5 Jun 1644.
