Of the three Martin's I have, none would fit as her father. And, none married a Mary Ellis. Would be happy to help you any way I can. I have several Sarah's, which I would be happy to send to you. Sorry. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list. If you would like to reply to them, please click on the Message Board URL link above and respond on the board.
