Jim are you the Southern Branch of the Atwell Family?
Im a decendent of Benjamin Atwell Ct. 1664

I live in Canada, and we have a Boone Connection going up here! Im in the heart of Loyalist Country, including Butlers Rangers a New London Ct. family that formed the most Killing force of the Revolutionary War. Deadly in battles they bush wacked Daniel Boone and killed his son in an ambush.

At the end of the war the Ranger Company was disbanded to what is now Niagra On the Lake. I work with their decendents.
What is your Atwell connection to the BOONES?
