notes

There Is No Proof That Nicolas's Daughter Alice Was Married To William Mullins.

The Atwood family were benefactors to the Sanderstead Parish Church which was adjacent to their home, and John Atwood (Atwodde) and his wife, Denys, have a brass plaque in the church dated 1525. John’s grand son, Nicholas Wood-Atwood, who died in 1586, is identified as “of Sandersted Corte who served quene Elizabeth sens the second yearr of her rayne” on his brass in the church (Stephanson 1919). Several secondary sources cite the story that Queen Elizabeth I spent the night at Sanderstead Court while Nicholas Wood was the owner. - From Wikipedia entry for Sanderstead Court

• * Atwood, Elijah Francis, Ye Atte Wode Annals, p 5. Nicholas Atwood, or Wood, was born before 1539, hence probably at Sanderstead Court.
• * Atwood, Elijah Francis, Ye Atte Wode Annals, p 5. Nicholas died May 10, 1586, in Sanderstead and was buried in St. Martin's, May 14, according to the two parish registers, though his brass says he was buried May 12, in Sanderstead Church, evidently a guess of his grandson, Harman 2d.
• * Atwood, Elijah Francis, Ye Atte Wode Annals, p 5. Jan. 30, 1569, at St. Martin's he married Olive Harman, 1548-1603, daughter and heiress of James Harman.

• Many Atwood researchers who venture into the generations prior to John Hewson Atwood, circa 1490, appear to refer their research upon the work: "Ye Old Atte Wode Annals," by Elijah Francis Atwood (1928).
• The following example of Atwood's lineage sourced to::http://www.genealogy.com/ftm/k/e/l/Alice-B-Kelly/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-1316.html'''
• View Tree for Peter De WyckhurstPeter De Wyckhurst (b. Abt. 1180, d. 1203)
• Peter De Wyckhurst was born Abt. 1180 in Hooley House, Coulsdon, England, and died 1203.He married Lady De Wyckhurst.
• A long line of Atwood ancestry is listed in the book ""Ye Old Atte Wode Annals" by Elijah Francis Atwood (1928).

The following shows the direct Atwood line down to immigrant ancestor John Atwood :

• Peter De Wyckhurst (1180-1203)
• William Atte Wode (1220-1278)
• Peter Atte Wode (1245-)
• William Atte Wode (1270-1 345) = Juliana
• Geoffrey Atte Wode (1295-1346)
• Peter Atte Wode (1320-1382) = L aurencia
• Peter Atte Wode (1360-) = Petronilla
• John Atte Wode (1400-) = Isabel la
• John Atwood (1445-1525) = Denes
• John Hewson Atwood (1490-1562) = Margaret
• Nicholas Atwood (1535-1586) = Margaret Harman
• John Atwood (1582-1644) = Joan Coulson
• John Atwood (1614-1675) = Sarah Masterson
• Peter deWyckhurst (who's su rname means; Wick - dwelling and hurst - a wooded knoll)He was born about 11 95 and his wife is only referred to as Lady de Wyckhurst. No further info on her.
