Roger Blake of Nether Stowey is the next testator. He was married to Jane St Albyn 21 Oct 1747 at Nether Stowey and they had two children only John and Robert (both of whom are mentioned in the will). His wife Jane has predeceased him having been buried 29 Mar 1761 at Nether Stowey. The Robert mentioned in the will is the same Robert whose will was probated earlier:

John, the testator’s son was married to Jane (unknown) and they had only one child Jane St Albyn Blake. John was buried in Aug 1786 according to the Portbury Blake website but I do not find that in the Nether Stowey parish registers.
Robert, the son of the testator and his executor, was married to Francis Poole and one of their sons wills was blogged along with that of their father mentioned above:

This is a collateral line to Admiral Robert Blake but daughtered out in his children’s generation as neither of his sons had male children.
