I don't understand what you mean here.

Who in Stanton's family are you referring to and why is that significant?

Again forgive me - I am speaking from memory ..Stanton having full control of the hearing was himself close to Lincoln although be it straight talking. Nevertheless a powerful government position needed to get the hearing result. Lincoln was surrounded on all sides by Houston’s links. Let’s call it Houston intelligence, there was obviously no Internet then so family was the World Wide Web. The Houstons controlled all aspects of government and subsequently all presidents. Presidents were just people placed at the head. Presidents needed managing. The Houstons had high ranking officials in every state...even those developing states. So what I’m saying is Stanton was controlled and put in place by much higher powers (intelligence). Stanton was linked by marriage through his sister’s daughter subsequently Stanton’s niece. I’m sure if they were prepared to murder a president residual family members of the powerful participant were also deemed to be vulnerable.

Nor does Booth's being closely related to royalty (what was that close relationship again?) and the Hamlins seem to have helped him from being killed. Or did he escape from Garrett's barn?

Again specifics are important, but the bigger picture is what is relevant. Mary they could just claim was insane so was not a threat to the plot. Booth, however, was the most likely but still related to the royals so no proof ever existed that his corpse was identified However he might have escaped that could easily have been arranged.
The Booths were related to the Spencers who were related to royalty. Remember under no circumstances would the royals be allowed to be implicated. That’s why intelligence was necessary and the organizers participation hidden. I.e the Houston link I have found. The Booths' grandmother as I recall Wilkes was married in London in the same royal church where where Victoria married Albert St. George’s or St. James I’m not sure which or both churches would be applicable.

The Hamlins provided the finance for the operations be it expense or bribes.

There was no reference to anyone helping Abraham.
