In searching for info on my own family lines which include the Hudson family, I've been lucky to have people share info on the Kemps. I'm simply passing it along and I hope it helps.
[According to Findagrave contributor Patti Kemp (#48322451), the information on rootsweb regarding Solomon's parents is incorrect, so I have removed that information from this memorial. She cites the estate record which can be found at:
