From what we can see, it appears that there is no proof that Elizabeth Penn (m. William Hammond) is the daughter of Giles Penn and Joan Gilbert. At the same time, how can we not prove that she is a cousin to William Penn "The Quaker". Hopefully, her real parentage will be discovered. If not, the mystery will be solved by God Himself.
William Hammond was born in London and in that city married Elizabeth Penn, sister of the Admiral Sir William Penn, aunt to William Penn the Quaker. He probably descended from the Hammonds of the Court of St. Albans, County Kent, England. He is buried in London, England. Elizabeth Penn is buried in Boston, MA (A History and Genealogy of the Descendants of William Hammond, Roland Hammond, 1894).
Benjamin Hammond, with his mother, Elizabeth Hammond, a widow, and sisters, Elizabeth, Martha and Rachel came to America in company with Rev. John Lothrop, in the ship "Griffin," landing in Boston Sept. 18, 1634 (See Drake's "Boston.") A family record exists which was kept by Capt. Elnathan Hammond, of Newport, R.I., born March 7, 1703; d. May 24, 1793, a part of which is copied from a family record kept by his father, John Hammond, who was born at Sandwich, Mass., Nov. 30, 1663; died Rochester, Mass., April 19, 1749, son of Benjamin and Mary (Vincent) Hammond. (See N.E. History, Gen. Register, Jan., 1876.). This record shows that Benjamin was the son of William and Elizabeth (Penn) Hammond, of London, England. Elizabeth Penn, wife of William Hammond, is said to have been a daughter of Sir William Penn, and aunt to William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, but this does not seem possible in the light of the latest discoveries in the Penn genealogy (See N.E. History, Gen. Register, July, 1900). It is probable that her name was Elizabeth Penn, however, as there exists no satisfactory reason for doubting the general accuracy of the record kept by Capt. Elnathan Hammond and his father.*
