From Historical Southern Families at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~celticlady/thornton/Boddie-Thorntons.htm: The parentage of Elizabeth Paine Atwell, wife of John Paine and of John Atwell, in uncertain. Miss Lucy Browne Beale of The Hague, Va., a competent genealogist, stated some years ago that she was practically certain that Elizabeth was the daughter of John Awbrey, Sr. of Westmoreland Co., Va., who died in 1692 (O. B. 1690-98, p. 74), and his wife, Jane, who married (2) William Chandler. However, Miss Beale was unable to find proof of this, though she felt sure she had seen it somewhere. John and Jane Awbrey had three proved children, John Awbrey, Francis Awbrey, and Sarah Awbrey (who was born in 1681 and unmarried in 1702) (D. & W. No. 3, p. 79). The records show plenty of connection between John and Francis Awbrey and the John Atwell family. John and Francis Awbrey were witnesses to John Atwell's will in 1713; William Paine, son of Elizabeth, deeded his land to Francis Awbrey in 1722; John Paine and Francis Awbrey were securities to William Paine on the estate of John and Elizabeth Atwell in 1722 (O. B. 1721-31, p. 19); Francis Awbrey was one of the securities for Hannah Atwell, daughter of John and Elizabeth, when she took over the property from her brother, William Paine, in 1723 (same, p.48); and Chandler Awbrey, only son of John Awbrey, in his will in 1755 left mourning suits, not only to his sister and niece, Hannah McAuley and her daughter Mary, but also to Mrs. Martha Atwell (wife of Samuel Atwell, son of John and Elizabeth), Mrs. Elizabeth Atwell, and Miss Sarah Atwell (D. & W. No.13, 1755-61, 28). These records certainly indicate kinship between the Awbreys and the Atwells, but they do not prove that Elizabeth, wife of John Atwell, was a sister of John and Francis Awbrey; for the two brothers, as we shall see, married Hannah and Frances Tanner, nieces of John Atwell himself.
