Attiwell Wood (1728-1784) was an Irish politician, barrister and Law Officer of the eighteenth century.
There is reason to believe that the eldest son in each generation of the Wood family was named Attiwell, and the tradition continued up to the late nineteenth century.
[7] Sir Riggs represented the same two constituencies in reverse order: presumably he and his son-in-law did a "swap" as to which seat each would hold.
Attiwell and Elizabeth had at least one son, also named Attiwell, who married Mary Brasier, daughter of Kilner Brasier, and a daughter Louisa, who married Hugh Norcott (died 1834) JP, of Castleconnell and Springfield, County Limerick.
A later Attiwell Wood, who was probably the Serjeant's great-grandson, is recorded as a landowner in County Cork in the 1870s.
