Hello, pleased to meet you! I too am descended from the same Benjamin who died after being hit by a runaway cart in M.A.!! Sorry to disappoint you but this particular line of the Hammetts are not related directly to the 'Martyr'. Benjamin married Jane Old daughter of John Old and after he died she married another Benjamin (Vacher). I have info relating to Benjamin's son William born 1838 and who married Ellen Stickley, heis my GGGrandfather. Pleased to correspond.
