Exciting news as this is the will of Joan Blake (née Pyle), widow, Knights Enham and sister of Robert Pyle (and she names one of his children as Edward). She is the mother of Edward (deceased), Robert and Richard as well as daughters Joane Frampton and Mary Snatt.
An item sparked a memory with this family and they are on the Blake Pedigree Chart at the Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office which I have mentioned quite a few times in my blogs (these are two of the earliest ones and there are others).

Joane Pyle married Robert Blake son of Sir Francis Blake who was the fourth son of Thomas Blake and Eleanor Hall. That Thomas is a son of John Blake married to Margaret Blake. The chart has the father of this John as William Blake married to Avice Ripley and that William Blake was a son of Roger Blake and Mary Baynard.
Interesting that Joane is at Knights Enham writing her will in 1674. There are only two children listed for Robert Blake and Joane Pyle on the chart with Edward marrying Abigail Hay and then their son James Blake and Robert marrying Hester Tailer and their son John Blake.
Now this brings the will of Hester Blake blogged:

And the will of Robert Blake blogged (where he mentions his sister in law Abigail Blake who is the widow of the son Edward of the present testator (Abigail Hay married Edward Blake}) :
http://kippeeb.blogspot.ca/2014/01/will-of-robert-blake-of-andover.html
And this present will together. But the reference that I found in my blog is from the Will of William Blake of Coggs, Oxfordshire and blogged:
http://kippeeb.blogspot.ca/2012/04/will-of-william-blake-of-coggs.html
This William left his will in 1695 and he was the son of Sir Francis Blake of Coggs who was the fourth son of Thomas Blake and Eleanor Hall and a nephew to Robert (2nd son of Thomas Blake and Eleanor Hall) husband of the present testator. In the discussion on that will I mention Robert Blake and Joane Pyle.
This is not the line that I thought it might be; it is not the Robert Blake line who left his will in 1542 brother to Nicholas Blake who left his will in 1547.
There is a marriage at Andover between a Charles Blake and a Jane Framtan 2 Sep 1687. Interesting given the Frampton name mentioned in this will. No Charles mentioned however.
