Do you have any primary source documentation for the claim that Martha Benjamin was the wife of John Seeley?The claim is frequently made but, to date, without any supporting evidence.
As I posted two years ago:
According to Bicha, The Benjamin Family in America, p 17 (available on line) Martha Benjamin,the daughter of Caleb, "b. January 19, 1681 at Weathersfield she was living unmarried in 1706 with Uncle Samuel Hale and in 1718 with Capt. Samuel Wells. Poor Martha was not very bright and the court records show she had at least 2 children, the last born in July 1718."
No one has come up with any contrary information.
