Henry Wilkinson is a name that should be more well known amongst Puritan-lovers. It represents three men, two of whom were Westminster Divines, the only father-son pair of Westminster Divines, so far as I can recall.
Henry Wilkinson, Sr. (October 9, 1566 - March 19, 1647) was a noted minister and author of a Catechism and The Debt-Book, or a Treatise upon Rom. xiii.8. He was a Westminster Divine (Larry Holley says that he was the oldest (76) divine named to the Assembly (The Divines of the Westminster Assembly, p. 362), although Reid says "it is said that he spent the most part of his time among his parishioners, by whom he was exceedingly beloved and revered" (Memoirs of the Westminster Divines, Vol. 2, p. 248).
Henry Wilkinson, Jr. (sometimes called "Long Harry" or "Senior") (March 4, 1610 - June 5, 1675) also served in the Westminster Assembly. Prior to that he preached a sermon against "lukewarmness" that incurred the wrath of the Royal party and caused him to be suspended from his pulpit but was restored by the Long Parliament. He was ejected from his pulpit for nonconformity in 1662. He contributed three of the famous Cripplegate Morning Exercise sermons: 1) Wherein are we endangered by Things lawful?; 2) What is it to do all we do in the Name of Christ? And how may we do so?; and 3) The Pope of Rome is Antichrist.
Henry Wilkinson (not related to the other two, sometimes called "Dean Harry" to distinguish him from the others) (1616 - May 13, 1690) was the author of Three Decades of Sermons, "a learned Latin disseration" (James Gilfillan, The Sabbath Viewed in the Light of Reason, Revelation, and History, p. 149) on the Sabbath (Brevis Tractatus de Jure Diei Dominicae, 1654), and other works.
