"John Atwood, son of Kimball, and grandfather of J. Arthur and J. Walter Atwood, of Wauregan, was born Feb. 16, 1805, and died July 31, 1865, aged sixty years, five months. His wife was Julia A. Battey, born Feb. 24, 1805, who died Aug. 31, 1872, aged sixty-seven years, six months, seven days. Their children were: James S., born March 17, 1832, who died Feb. 20, 1885; William Allen, born Aug. 4, 1833, who died June 26, 1881; Henry C., who died Oct. 11, 1836, aged fifteen months; and Mary Elizabeth, who died June 25, 1843, aged five years.
"Grandfather John Atwood came to Killingly, Conn., shortly after his marriage, and entered the Williamsville mill, which was then owned by Caleb Williams, who had erected it in 1827. This mill afterward came into the possession of S. and W. Foster. In 1849 John Atwood, who had been identified with the business ever since locating in Killingly, became a part owner, and continued active in the same until his death. His grandchildren, Henry C. Atwood, W. E. Atwood (of Williamsville) and J. Arthur Atwood and J. Walter Atwood (of Wauregan), are still the owners of this mill."
