. "As a descendant of Nicholas Atwood, I have noticed that information about these early years seems to be jumbled and largely derivative from "Ye Atwoode Annals." I am not sure where this "John Hewson" Atwood comes from. The funerary monument of Nicholas Atwood, in Sanderstead Church, states: "Here lyeth Nicholas Wood, the thirde sonne of John at Wood of Sandersted Corte who served Quene Elizabeth sens the second yeare of her Rayne & deceassed the xiiith of May 1586 ..." (See "Sanderstead," Victoria County History of Surrey, pp. 241-242.) This suggests to me that Nicholas Atwood was the son of one of the two John Atwoods (John the elder and John the younger) of John Atwood who married Dionys. Positing a "John Hewson" Atwood complicates matters by having yet a third son named John, and is, on the face of it, suspicious because middle names were quite rare at this time and place."
