Who were Benjamin and Hasshub?

Nehemiah 3:23 (ESV)

23 After them Benjamin and Hasshub repaired opposite their house. After them Azariah the son of Maaseiah, son of Ananiah repaired beside his own house.

We know nothing about either man. Nehemiah notes that they repaired opposite their house, thereby indicating both the location of the wall (the locals would know where their houses were) as well as the fact that these two men worked close to home.
