Given the name "Martin Wells" and the location of North Carolina I would suspect this might be a connection to what we are calling family W024 descended from Jacob Wells b: Cir 1680 of Duplin Co., NC. It is possible that Jacob had brothers named Henry and Martin. The names Jacob, Henry and Martin were used repeatedly down these branches. Ellen, are you acquainted with Joyce Vorwaller of Jacksonville, FL? She too is from your family with connection to Berrien Wells.
