here is a link to the 1861 census that lists Cyrus, John, Peter Bishop and Richard Atwell, but the census of that year only gives a numeric total of the family units (8, 10, 10 and 7); then this link gives the 1901 census links and then goes on and on with other Atwell references... at the bottom of the first page see 22 trees of info submitted by folks who use Family Search about Atwells and in-laws in Nova Scotia:

Fairmount Cemetery Fairmount Cemetery is located on the corner of Coveville Road (county route 69) and Casey Road, in the Town of Saratoga. (See the location on the overview map of cemetery locations.) Fairmount was known as the Howland Cemetery, in 1877, when Cornelius Durkee copied the inscriptions, which are recorded in Volume 4, pages 147-159, of Durkee's Epitaphs. Fairmount also contains some stones formerly in nearby small family cemeteries. Many additional inscriptions were recorded in November of 2004. Fairmount is an active, well maintained cemetery, which is associated with the Quaker Springs Methodist Church.
