Possible family
- I suspect that Solomon is the father of John Wilkin of Tonge.
- William Wilkins (C, in link) seems to have been about the same age as Solomon and lived in the same area. I suspect they are either brothers or cousins of his.
- David Wilkins (D, in link) is an even stronger candidate to be one of Solomon's relatives, as the name David reappears in generation three.
- Solomon undoubtedly had brothers, sisters, sons & daughters who we do not know about.
