I was able to link to the page 721 of Volume 1 of the elusive Massachusetts & Maine Family Histories compiled by Leonard Smith. It does have Eleazer Atwoods family listed, but says he was probably the grandson of Stephen and Apphia. Kind of excited to see if there's anything about my descendants of Stephen and Apphia!
