We're not responsible for our parents, just fortunate to have them and love them if we can somtimes despite themselves! Mine was dead to me as of the age of 7. He died unlamented by anyone in 2012.

Indeed quite rare! Two of my father's aunts went to Boston before the WW1 and my great grandfather wandered frequently over on your side of the Atlantic at the end of 19thC. We only know that at one point he was in the Mounties and he had 5 daughters in England! The Scottish side of my story is less well documented. A cousin did a lot of work on his side and found many cousines in different parts of Canada and the US. I have one of his newsletters in Paris...but now with me at present! Anything is possible
True, as in the surname Dupuis or Aupuis in French. My family also came across a Dutch mercenary clan crossing with William of Normandy in 1066 called Atte Velle and who were accorded land in S. Yorkshire around Doncaster (Doomsday Book) and today you'll now find a lot of Attewells in the local graveyards.
Surnames as standard is a recent phenomenon historically. Dolores At The Dolores At the Well, in olden days, distinguishes her from the other Doloreses in the area. Stuart At-the-Well distinguishes you from Stuart Little, that shorter guy of same name, and Stuart Blacksmith, the burly guy whose profession is obvious. Attewell is the sibling of Atwater and Atwood. Obviously if there is a line of Attewells descended from a Dutch ancestor, that's entirely different, unless Atte Velle means the same thing in Dutch. After all, Dutch is a variant of Deutsch, and both German and English have common roots.

Did your father have any family in Philadelphia PA? My last name was Attewell for 25 years. It is a very unusual name in the US

One of my daughters theorizes that an ancestor lived "at the well".
