Are Thomas and Robert brothers and sons of John Blake baptizing a child in 1660? Who is William Blake married to Sarah and baptizing children from 1707 to 1727? Do these families fit together?


William and Sarah Blake

Margaret Blake 17 Mar 1711; buried 7 Jun 1725 daughter of William and Sarah Blake

John and Dorcas (Sollers) Blake married 15 Aug 1779
Sarah Blake 30 Jul 1780 daughter of John and Dorcas Blake
Margt Blake 8 Apr 1781 daughter of John and Dorcas Blake

Looking at the will of today I am left to wonder if the Jane Blake who married Thomas Scriven (looking at the will the writing could be Scriven) is from a first family for John Blake with his second marriage to Dorcas Sollers. He does not mention any of the other children from his first marriage of whom William, Sarah, Mary and John appear to have survived.
