This will of John Blake, Penton Mewsey was acquired from Family Search using their Photoduplication form and it is Film 186725, catalogue designation E-860, year of event 14 Sep 1593 (proven) and number on film is 70 or from Hampshire Record Office 1593B-07.
John in his will mentions his wife Johanne, his daughters Margery, Dorothy and Jone and his son John. Which line is this one? Is he a brother to Thomas who leaves his will in 1597 at Penton Mewsey? Charlou Dolan has both of his brothers named John the Elder and John the Younger dead before 1588. Is he the John son of Thomas who left his will in 1541? One of the witnesses to the will is Thomas Blake. Could it be that one of the John (son of Robert) has not died before 1593? There are a lot more wills to transcribe and the answer may lie in one of them.
I believe this son John to be the John Blake who left his will in 1620 at Penton Mewsey and I will publish that particular will tomorrow.
