Ann Blake of Truro, Cornwall is the testatrix for this Blake will in Cornwall. Her nephew she names as Mr. Peter Tippet and he is perhaps the Peter Tippet married to Elizabeth Collyne 17 Sep 1758 at Truro. His parents appear to be Stephen Tippet and Mary and he was baptized 9 Sep 1733 at Truro. In 1722 Stephen Tippet married Mary Robberts at St Allen. St. Allen is north of Truro above five miles. I did not find a marriage for an Ann Robberts however to a Blake.
Peter and Elizabeth Tippet baptized the following children at St Mary Truro:
John baptized 19 Jun 1760
Mary baptized 25 Jun 1761
Edward Collins baptized 12 Aug 1762
Elizabeth Collins baptized 28 Dec 1764; buried 1 Jun 1765
Elizabeth Collins baptized 3 Mar 1768
Edward baptized 10 Aug 1769
Mary Ann baptized 13 Jun 1771
James Bridges baptized 18 Sep 1772
In Ann's will she mentions her nephew Peter and his children: John, James, Edward, Elizabeth and possibly a Jane.
She is likely the Mrs. Anne Blake buried at St Clement (residence Truro) 9 Apr 1796. She mentions dear James on line 22,23 below and I suspect her husband is James Blake but I did not find any entries that would fit this couple in the OPC Cornwall site.
No information on James Blake thus far but perhaps the other wills will be helpful in Cornwall. There is a lot of information on the Tippet family in this will.
