- ↑ Source:Stevens, Ken. Descendants of John Wilson of Woburn, Massachusetts, p. 196, says "Rosina ... called Julia Ann in the record of her marriage at Shoreham on 15 Feb 1837 to Joshua Porter Atwood who was born at Shoreham 3 Mar 1814, died 27 Jul 1873, s/o of Joshua and Polly (---) Atwood." By insisting on this marriage record with a different name, he has sloppily conflated two couples into one.
In the 1850 census, Joshua P. and Julia Atwood are in Wisconsin (lines 4-5). They are listed under their actual names in the Wisconsin entry, so clearly are not the Joshua and Rosina that Stevens says are living in Whiting, Vt. that year (lines 24-25).
Then in 1880, Joshua and Rosina are still alive and listed in Wisconsin (lines 37-38) after Joshua Porter Atwood (gravestone) and Julian (Wilson) Atwood (gravestone) are both dead.
The census entries for Joshua Porter Atwood give a birthplace in Massachusetts, not Vermont, as Stevens says. His birth is found in Warwick to Joshua and Polly Atwood (Warwick VRs, Vol. 2, p. 2), showing him to be a half-brother to Parker Atwood, the father of the Joshua Atwood who married Rosina, i.e., half-uncle. Julia Wilson is not the same person as Rosina, but may possibly be Rosina's sister, the first born 1813, the second 1815. But unlike Rosina, there is no death record located for Julia that names her father (no birth record for either), and so there is currently no evidence that this is so.
