Surname Saturday -- COLESON (England to colonial New England)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.

I am working in the 9th great-grandmothers by Ahnentafel number, and I am up to Ancestor #2281 who is Joan COLESON (1587-1654). [Note: the more recent ancestral families have been covered in earlier posts.]

My ancestral line back through one generation in this COLESON family line is:

1. Randall J. Seaver

2. Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983)
3. Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002)

4. Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942)

16. Isaac Seaver (1823-1901)
17. Lucretia Townsend Smith (1827-1884)

1140.  Stephen Atwood (1616-1694)
1141.  Abigail Dunham (1621-1668)


2280.  John Atwood, born before 04 February 1583 in Sanderstead, Surrey, England; died 27 February 1644 in Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States.  He was the son of 4560. Nicholas Atwood and 4561. Olive Harman.  He married 25 July 1612 in St. Martin-in-the-Field, Westminster, Middlesex, England.
2281.  Joan Coleson, born about 1587 in London, Middlesex, England; died 01 June 1654 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States.  She was probably the daughter of 4562. John Coleson and 4563. Joan Bullocke of Boston, Lincolnshire, England.

Children of John Atwood and Joan Coleson are:
*  Joan Atwood (1613-????)
*  Harmon Atwood (1613-1651)
*  John Atwood (1614-1673), married 1640 Sarah Masterson (1619-1714).

*  Henry Atwood (1620-1670), married 1644 Abigail Jenney (1619-1690).

There are several Derivative Source works that detail this Atwood family, including:

*  Atwood, Charles, History of the Atwood Family in England and the United States, to which is Appended a History of the Tenney Family (1888)

* Atwood, Elijah Francis, Ye Atte Wode Annals (Sisseton, S.D. : Atwood Publishing Co., June 1928)

The best summary of this Atwood family is the Geni.com profile  for John Atwood in   https://www.geni.com/people/John-the-Leather-Seller-Wood/6000000006981193403

I have done no original research for this Atwood or Coleson family.
