I definitely agree that Benjen knew. Early in Game of Thrones when hes talking to Jon and refers to Ned as "my brother" instead of "your father" which isn't natural if an uncle is talking to his nephew.

I'm not sure about Aemon. I think he might have realized towards the end when he was ranting and raving right before he died but if Aemon knew then he would have told Jon about his parentage after Ned died since Benjen wasn't likely to return and Ned couldn't tell him.

I think Jon was sent to the Wall to protect him. Ned, Benjen and Aemon were the only ones who knew. Aemon would protect him as the Targaryean heir and Benjen and Ned's honor were beyond reproach. Howland Reed would be the only one still alive to know. Ned's dead now, Benjen.. who knows? Aemon isn't long for the show. Howland is the key.
