Peter Atwood
Peter Atwood (1643–1712) was an English Dominican friar. Atwood was a native of Warwickshire, joined the order in 1678, and was ordained priest five years later. He was several times cast into prison, and at length was condemned to death on account of his sacerdotal character. The hurdle was actually at the gate of the gaol to convey him to Tyburn when Charles II sent him a reprieve.

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. Biography Atwood's parents were Nicholas Wood (abt. 1539–1586), of Sanderstead Court in the English county of Surrey (now Greater London), and Olive Harman (1548–1603), daughter of the wealthy London merchant, James Harman (abt. 1527–1581). He had nine brothers, two sisters, and one half brother (from his mother's marriage to John Buck in 1592). His baptism record in Saint Martin in the Fields Church in London is dated 20 September 1576 and identifies him as "John Woode." His baptism is also recorded in Sanderstead parish church under the Latin form "Johannes".
