Descendant of Samuel Benjamin, of Massachusetts, who was a sergeant, ensign, and lieutenant; he served seven years, three months and twenty-one days.

She taught school in Livermore until she married Charles L. Stephenson, a friend of Cadwallader, in 1849. She bore him five children, one of whom died in infancy. After Charles died in 1880, Martha spent her final days with her daughter in North Dakota. ​
