"First of all, the confusion over Solomon Leonard was clarified for me by one of the "silver books", The Descendents of the Mayflower vol.2, which discussed Manning Leonard's work. from which I have already made some copies, thanks. Anyway they refute Manning's claim Mary and put Solomon's wife as Sarah Chandler, daughter of Roger and Isabella (Chilton) Chandler of Leyden, they make a pretty strong case of it but I can't remember the details off the top of my head. What adds to the confusion is that John Leonard b.1645 Duxbury, son of Solomon and Sarah, married abt 1670 another Sarah Chandler b. abt 1648 Duxbury. It seems to me that back then not much distinction was made between the 3 Chandler girls. Roger's will isn't very clear nor are the records of which one was Solomon's wife. It probably wasn't too important for most people. I find it very probable that Edmund and Roger were probably brothers, and that the name came down through Edmund and not Roger. That community was pretty tight back then and it seems most of those that came in the 1630's were not coming over for the weather. Most of them knew somebody. Roger and Isabella, for example, were part of the original Leyden, Holland contingent of the Pilgrims, and, were following after Isabella's family. Her parents James and Susanna (Furner) Chilton came on the Mayflower with her younger sister Mary. Unfortunately her parents died that first winter, but Mary was there."

| Notes |
- Solomon married sometime before 1640. They had many children, most probably born in Duxbury, and several dying young. Unfortunately, Duxbury lost all of its town records prior to 1654 due to fire. The Colony records of births and deaths prior to 1647 have also been lost. [12]
