This does not match with John Wood alias Atwood

I posted some text from "The History of One Atwood Family", to John's profile. Although the number and names for John Wood, or Atwood are many, the second portion of the text appears to me to be dealing with John Atwood b. 1614 at Martin-in-the-fields, London, England and who died 1678 Massachusetts. A couple of things to bear in mind, both the date of birth and death are slightly different from how the profile presents them. Also at odds, is where the book specifies death location which is in conflict with the profile location. I think a look at the text book itself will hopefully fill in some of the contradictory information on this John Wood or Atwood. Like I said there were many John Atwoods who were intergenerational and also contemporaries. Looking at the profiled results, it would at least imply that the profiled information contains a mix of details from different John Atwoods.

I’ve gone ahead and detached Mary Lee (unknown) as daughter of John "the Leather Seller" Wood & Joan Atwood (Coleson)

I’ll add a brother John Atwood with a nephew Crowe. may help in sorting Atwood’s.

Perhaps she wasn’t an Atwood and her husband Robert Lee, of Plymouth was brother to John Atwood’s wife, Ann (Lee) Atwood.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Atwood_(colonial_administrator)

John Atwood (1576–1644) was an assistant governor of the Plymouth Colony, in the future US state of Massachusetts, in 1638. He married Anne Lee, but they did not have any children; Anne died in Plymouth in about 1654. While he appears to have been a merchant in England before coming to Plymouth, Atwood's reasons for emigrating have never been explained. He was in America at least by 1637, and possibly as early as 1635.

John Atwood, Asst. Gov. Who married Anne Atwood (Lee) had been bad merged into John "the Leather Seller" Wood who married Joan Atwood (Coleson)

It is the latter Wood who seems to have been the son of Nicholas Wood (Atwood) & Olive Buck (Harman) although Wikipedia has the Asst Gov as son of Nicholas.

Erica, John the leather seller was the younger brother of John the elder, AKA Gentleman John. Allice says that there were three John Atwoods in Plymouth but there were at least four. Nicolas named three sons John.

The John baptized in 1614 at St Martins was brother of Stephen Atwood and Henry Wood/Atwood. Henry was baptized,1615, at St Martins. There are two sources that say that Henry died at the age of 55, in 1670, which places Henry between John and Stephen. Henry was not born in 1620, as many sites claim.
