Nick, In "Descendants of John Hewes", pages 147,148, (I don't have a the book, only an old handwritten note.) there's a statement about JOHN HEWES of Linn, MA, and his wife, -- WELLMAN, which reads:
"The WELLMAN farm extended south from a road leading from Reading to Salem and was bounded westerly by a brook leading out of the meadow north to the Reading road.Its southern boundaries were in the vicinity of the land owned by JOHN HEWES, whose wife was a WELLMAN...."
I have no dates for this.Thomas Wellman came to Linn from Ilminster, Somerset, England, in the early to mid 1600.Maiden names are hard to come by sometimes and this may be a clue.Do you have anything about a John Hewes of Linn or the first name & parents of his wife, -- Wellman?
