Blake Pedigree Chart – Blake Museum at
Bridgwater, Somerset. This is a recent addition to their website: http://www.bridgwatermuseum.org.uk/
The
Blake Museum has given me permission to put these charts in the newsletter so I
will continue with some of these Blake family lines.
Many
of the Blake families with roots in the New England states are tracing back to
William Blake of Dorchester Massachusetts. A number of Blake genealogists have
written up their studies on these many Blake lines coming down from William
Blake and Agnes (B[o or a]nd, Thorne?) Blake. One particular paper published in
The American Genealolgist Volume 74, Issue 1, 15-28, 1999, and entitied “Two
Somerby Frauds or ‘Placing the Flesh on the Wrong Bones’” by Paul C. Reed. In
one of his footnotes, “In his [Horatio Gates Somerby] account of the purported
ancestry of the immigrant William Blake of Corchester, Massachusetts, Somerby
linked three apparently unrelated Blake families. After falsifying the origin
of the immigrant, Somerby fabricated earlier fraudulent connections by making
Humphrey Blake, ancestor of the Blake family of Over Stowey, Somerset, a
brother of the Nicholas Blake of Andover who died in 1547. Somerby then
fabricated a parentage for Humphrey and Nicholas, making their father out to be
one William Blake, and their mother to be Mary, daughter of Humphrey Coles of
C. Somerset. Then he asserted that this William was a son of an earlier William
whom Somerby (falsely) connects back into the ancient Blaage alias Blake family
who lived at Calne, Wiltshire.” I have written about this fraudulent connection
on my blog a number of times. My line descends from the Nicholas Blake of
Andover whose father is, I believe, Richard Blake of Enham who left his will
dated 12 Apr 1522; his father Robert’s will was dated 16 Dec 1521 (likely also
of Enham as he mentions the parish Church there). Nicholas does not mention a
brother Humphrey but does indeed mention his family members.
Ancestry
DNA is now producing ThruLines as well as DNA Circles (no longer updated). As
it turns out, having used these ThruLines quite heavily the last couple of
weeks, I am certainly happy with this addition overall. The drawback remains
that errors in family trees can now flow through these ThruLines giving me
attachments to ancestors that do not bear scrutiny with the actual records. But
I can say that overall the addition of ThruLines is a bonus to research
bringing together matches that are true and having examined four sets of
siblings (my own) ThruLines I am seeing some really good results that are
benefitting my research. On the plus side, you can now write to the individuals
that are attaching to a particular line and discuss the possibility of working
together to clear up the mystery since individuals are matching in order to be
there on the ThruLine but the match as shown does not bear scrutiny, in the
case of my Blake line, I know the husband of my 2x great grandfather John
Blake’s sister Mary. She married William Heath and they had a large family and
now in 2019 I match a number of their descendants thus proving the connection.
She did not marry anyone else so any attachments to her, with a different
spouse, as a proven daughter of Thomas Blake and Sarah (Coleman) Blake are
probably inaccurate. However, if your ancestry is going back to that area right
around Andover then likely we are matching on another line. But with that
slight diversion I return again to William Blake of Dorchester Massachusetts
and Paul Reed’s article in The American Genealogist. Fortunately we subscribe
to The American Genealogist and can look back at some of these interesting
articles written on the Blake family (and in the case of my husband heavily
into Kipp-Link research also his families).
I
will discuss the parentage of William Blake of Dorchester Massachusetts using
records available to me. The publication “Increase Blake of Boston, his
Ancestors and Descendants, with a full account of William Blake of Dorchester
and his Five Children” was compiled by Francis E Blake (1839 – 1916) and
published in 1898 at Boston, Massachusetts. The records had been accumulated by
Reverend Charles M Blake. Francis E Blake is likely descendant of James Blake b
30 Apr 1688 at Dorchester Massachusetts and died 4 Dec 1750 also at Dorchester.
James and his wife Waitstill Simpson had four children including James Blake b
15 Oct 1716 at Dorchester (died 5 Jan 1803 also at Dorchester). This James
married Mary Pinson and they had several children including James Blake b15 Feb
1740 at Charlestown Massachusetts died 29 Aug 1803 at Boston Massachusetts.
This James married Lydia Dana and they had a number of children including
Pynson Blake who married Sarah Dana and their son was Francis Everett Blake
(1839-1916). The James Blake b 1688 is likely the son of James b 27 Apr 1642 at
Pitminster Somerset and son of the emigrant William Blake and his wife Agnis
(Band or Bond, Thorne?) Blake. I have not proven this line myself and have
copied it from information found online and it serves only to show that Francis
E Blake who compiled the book was likely related to the William Blake family of
Dorchester Massachusetts. The Reverend Charles M Blake is said to be descendant
of Edward Blake youngest son of the emigrant William Blake but no detailed
genealogy (Francis E Blake mentions on page 36 of his publication that John
Blake (b 17 Jul 1720 and married to Ann Richardson) was his ancestor and John
likely the son of Ebenezer (b 28 Sep 1709) married to Petronella Peck, with the
father of Ebenezer as Jonathan b 5 Jul 1672 Boston and son of Edward Blake and
Patience Pope) is available to prove that line. He, however, went back to
Somerset and met with another John Blake there who shared material with him for
the Blake family of Pitminster. The actual descent of these two gentleman is
not pertinent to the story. I wish to look back from William Blake of
Dorchester Massachusetts to England and the charts which have been made
available by the Blake Museum.
At
some point during the late 1800s both Francis E Blake and the Reverend Charles
M Blake appeared to have met with a John Blake in Somerset. When I asked who
had created this particular Blake Chart I did not learn a particular name. I am
quite curious if the individual with whom they met/corresponded did indeed also
create this chart. It is basically in the same handwriting. It is in the style
of writing of the late 1800s into the 1900s. It appears to have been created in
one time period.
Chart
1 is the most interesting with regard to this William Blake (this is a slightly
cropped image).
Looking
at this cropped version you can readily see a line coming down from Humphrey
Blake third from the top and in the second column from the right. This line
continues down to John Blake and then to William Blake of Pitmister and finally
down once again to his son William Blake who eventually emigrates to the
Massachusetts Colony.
Cropping
it once again just to make it more useful to the discussion, we have:
William
Blake of Pitminster married to Agnis Band, widow, is shown as being of
Pitminster and marrying there but dying in Dorchester Massachusetts Colony. The
children of this couple are listed (chart preceding) as John, Anne, William,
Edward and James (and that corresponds to the children as they were known in
the Massachusetts Colony. I will not refer to the children of this couple at
all as my interest is in looking back to Somerset where William and Agnis Blake
are said to have emigrated from in the 1630s. I did check Family Search to see
if the images for the Pitmister Parish Registers are online yet but they can
not be viewed. I suspect they may be up but not yet available. That means I
have to rely on these various researchers for the records for Pitminster to
tentatively look at this Blake line.
The
Chart lists the parents of William Blake of Pitminster (baptized 10 Jul 1594)
as William Blake and Anne (unknown). Another site unfortunately now gone from
the internet had been prepared by a local (Somerset) researcher and was quite
interesting. Although I did not agree with all of the links, the early work I
was informed had been done in the Registry Office and certainly there are many
many records in the chart which was thus created (I copied it and made some
changes that corrected inconsistencies with the online version). The birth of
William Blake (father of the emigrant) was recorded as circa 1559 Over Stowey,
Somerset. He was buried 13 Jun 1642 at Pitminster Somerset with his wife Anne
being buried there 14 Aug 1644. The father of this William was said to be John
Blake (the elder) and he appears to have had a younger brother named John Blake
(the younger) both of whom had large families. The wife of John Blake the elder
was named Johan (no surname known) and she was buried 27 Jun 1595 at Over
Stowey. John Blake the younger married Christian Jugg 18 Aug 1558 at Over
Stowey. The mother of both these men was said to have died in 1585 at Over
Stowey (no burial date given). It would seem that it is accurate that there
were two John Blake, sons in this family. The father of these two John Blake (elder
and younger) was listed as Humphrey Blake married to Agnis (unknown) and no
marriage date known (this would have preceded the parish registers anyway as
the eldest son was born circa 1521). Humphrey Blake was said to have been born
circa 1499 at Bishops Lydeard, Somerset and buried 28 Dec 1558 at Over Stowey. These
two record sets do not agree on the name of the wife of Humphrey – the chart
above has Anne and the website had Agnis. The online website did not take
Humphrey further back. The Chart above does and that agrees with a Chart which
is held by the Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office for the Blake family created
by the College of Arms in 1690. A small crop is available below:
This
is a large chart about 12 feet long and 4 feet wide and images can be purchased
from the Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office.
In
the bottom right corner of the small crop a plain Blake crest can be viewed and
above that in a green circle the name John Blague appears with the included
information “2nd son from whom the Blakes of Somersetshire are
descended of which Family was General Robert Blake the famous Soldier and Sea
Commander.” Just for information, as mentioned this chart was produced by the
College of Arms (London, England) initially in 1690 with additions (early
1700s). There is a caption in the lower left of this large chart which reads: “This
Descent of Blake excepting the latter part of the Glocestershire Line which was
Supplied from other Authentick matters of Record exhibited for that purpose is
Extracted out of the Visitation Books hereafter mentioned: 1stly, Mr. Vincents
Wilts marked No 147 fol 24b 25a 26a, Secondly, Wiltshire Anno 1623 marked C22 fol
107 b, Thirdly, One of the Books lately the Earl of Anglisey’s marked No 123

Kn late Clarenceux King of Arms) Anno 1662 fol 77b and Seventhly, the
Visitation of the City of London begun by Sir Henry S George Kn Clarenceux Anno
1687.” I find the Visitation Books to be a valuable resource but one must use
them with some caution as children are left off in many cases but the actual
tree does bear looking at.
Continuing
to look at this cropped portion of the Blake Pedigree Chart held by the Swindon
and Wiltshire Record Office, John is said to have a brother Martin Blague of Winchcombe
in the County of Glostershire. They are both said to be the sons of William
Blague of Lacock in County Wiltshire. William being married to Margaret the
daughter of William Browne of Wablyn. William continues to trace back with his
father as David Blague (son and heir) married to Joane daughter of (unknown) Mallet.
The father of this David named as John Blague gentlemen and second son married
to Margaret daughter of Dyncham/Dinham/Denham. This John said to be a son of
Robert Blague alias Blaake of Quemberford in County Wiltshire Esquire married
to Avice daughter of John Wallop of Farley in County Southampton Esquire. A
caption appears on this chart which states: John Blake (son of Robert)
undermentioned was 49 years old and upwards 14 Ed IV [1474] as by an
Inquisition post mortem … Records in the … after the death of Avice his mother She
deceased 29 October 13 Henry VI [1434] does appear. The parchment is folded in
this area and very difficult to read from the scan. Looking at one piece of
information available to us I have now included the transcription of the will
of John Blake (son of Robert Blake and Avis (Wallop) Blake).

We
know that John is 40 years or more old when his mother's estate was examined
under Inquisition Post Mortem circa 1474 so he was born circa 1434 or earlier.
In 1504 he would have been at least 70 years old. John was married twice and he
did not leave any male heirs carrying the Blake surname. Part of the
fascination for me in all of this aside from information for my one name study
of the Blake family is that he lived at the time that the father of Nicholas
Blake at Enham lived. Living at Nether Wallop he was only seven miles south
west of Andover and we passed through the area of the Wallops on our way to
Upper Clatford (1 mile south of Andover or in truth just on the opposite side
of the highway these days). There is Nether Wallop and one mile to the north
west is Middle Wallop and two miles to the north west is Over Wallop. Then six
miles to the north east is Goodworth Clatford and also Upper Clatford which are
two continuous villages - you leave the one as you enter the other. As we drove
these lanes I could imagine my great grandfather walking from his home to work
each day as he did all of his life. Looking at the picture of him from 1898 I
can see from whom I inherited my strabismus (lazy eye syndrome) for there it is
forever captured in picture the one eye wandering about on its own whilst the
other is fixed on you the viewer. Inherited by me from my father. My
grandfather did not have strabismus but did pass it on to his son.
His
brother Robert acquires Penhills by this will (although not mentioned except in
the line where it was said that Richard Dauntsey would inherit the properties
in Southampton and Wiltshire with some exceptions and this was one of the
exceptions) and it stays with this family up into the reign of Charles I when
it was destroyed by the Royalists. A smaller manor was built from the original
stones at Pinhills and the Blake family continued to live there into the 1700s.
This
family can trace back on paper to the Blake family that is on the 1286 subsidy
for Wiltshire and on the Pedigree Chart which is held by the Swindon Wiltshire
Record Office. This rather large document (12 feet long by 4 feet wide) was
commissioned by the Blake family in London, England to record their family line
and was produced using primarily the Visitations but also other documents which
I have not yet been able to determine. The College of Arms holds the original
material for this chart and one day I will investigate the cost of receiving
copies of the documents used. The College of Arms is located near St Paul's
Cathedral in London just up from the London Millennium Footbridge. Something
that should not be missed when visiting London is crossing on foot all of these
bridges and wandering down both sides of the Thames River. The most we ever did
was 18,000 steps per day and that took us from our hotel just south of Waterloo
Station up into London and along the Thames to St Pauls Cathedral and back
across the Thames and down into Bermondsey and then back to our hotel. A
wonderful walk and we took about ten hours in total with lots of interesting
stops along the way. You can take the Underground and it is a must to go to
Kew, the Museums, Greenwich but to be in the City of London or Westminster the
best way is to go on foot.
The
Blake Pedigree Chart does have a male descendant for John Blake (son of Robert
Blake and Avis Wallop). He is named David on the chart and was the son of his
first wife Margaret Dyncham/Dinham/Denham. David married Joane Mallet and they
had two children John Blake, Abbot of Cirencester, Gloucester and William who
married Margaret Browne of Wablyn. William and Margaret had two sons Martin who
married Catherine Vaughan of Herefordshire and John who is said to be the
ancestor of the Somerset Blake family and that Lord High Admiral Robert Blake
was one of his descendants. Why does John not mention this line? Possibly
because he has already inherited and a will was really meant to organize what
had to be done with property after death, it wasn’t actually there to mention
all of one’s children/grandchildren. It is a gift when they do!
Robert
Blake and Avis Wallop had seven children according to the Visitation. Their son
Robert married Margaret Inglefield and their two children Roger and Anne
married into the Baynard family. Roger married Mary Baynard. Roger and Mary are said to have a son William
Blake of Eastontown who married Avice Ripley it is this William that I have
been most interested in from the viewpoint of my own family at Andover/Upper
Clatford. I am not entirely convinced that he is a son of Roger Blake and Mary
Baynard. Roger only mentions his eldest son and his youngest daughter in his
will however. The children of Robert
Blake and Avis Wallop on the Visitation (Wiltshire Visitation Pedigrees 1623):
Gilbertus,
Alexander, Robt, Elizabeth, Alice, Joane, John
Gilbert
and Alexander both died without heirs. This visitation principally looks at
Robert Blake descendants. Henry Blake is the individual living in 1623 at
Pennells and just to place this manor it is to the WSW of Calne about 1 mile.
That means it is about 29 miles from Nether Wallop (where John was to be
buried) to Calne. John doesn't say in his will where he is located when he is
writing his will.
John
does mention his nephew Roger (son of his brother Robert although not as nephew
but he is). He does mention his servants Robert Blake yeoman and John Blake
(currently his servant). Servant could mean a number of things I suspect in
those days. They could have been in training with him.
Wallop
is the area in which John's mother Avis Wallop lived. In the Post Mortem
following her death in 1434 National Archives C 140/48/6, the land that was
feoffed to her and her daughter by her first husband was mentioned as well as
John Blake her son being 40 years of age or more. Reading through this document
could be quite interesting (I do have a copy and will eventually transcribe it)
but the Inquisition Post Mortem for John might add more details for the Blake
family.
Another
interesting document for this family F3/Box 1/283 1506 and the contents: Grant
from Henry VII to Philip Baynard of the wardship of Richard Dauntesey son and
heir of John Dauntesey, deceased and kinsman and heir of John Blake, deceased.
28 Nov 22 Henry VII (1506).
My
thoughts on all of this with respect to the Pedigree Charts mentioned above, I would
love to know who created the chart held by the Blake Museum at Bridgwater.
Knowing that, would, I think assist greatly with determing a paper trail for
the Blake family found in Dorchester Massachusetts and descended from the
emigrant William Blake and his wife Agnis. We really do need to have people
test in the Blake line with known ancestry further back in Somerset.

Blake Surname Study – Progress: One Name
Blake Study at the Guild of One-name Studies was originally undertaken by
another researcher. In 2011, I became the researcher for the Blake-one-name
Study at the Guild. There was already a pre-existing yDNA project run by Bill
Bleak and he continues as the main administrator of the project. As can be seen
below only 16 members of the study have completed a Big Y (SNPs testing for
deep clade determination) making it virtually impossible to do more than has
been done with some of the groups.

The task of managing
these groups is large and I will gradually work away at converting them to the
new standard of placing individuals by their deep haplogroup testing. I would
recommend that all members join the relevant haplogroup project to learn more
about your haplogroup.
That
being said, I have begun the task of conversion beginning with what I knew
best; namely, my own line tested by my brothers. The I2 lines in the project
are ancient to the British Isles probably arriving just as the ice sheets were
retreating. More people belonging to the project in these particular lines
would be most helpful.
This
has changed very little in the past three months. I am finding it difficult to
work with the R1b groups. I do not like to upset the original classification
but will continue to study how I could modify these groupings. Any suggestions
greatly welcomed.

Blake autosomal DNA Study at FT DNA
(Family Finder)
In some cases these are large matches and in other
cases relatively small but that is the way with the inheritance of autosomal
DNA. With each generation chunks of autosomal DNA can either be broken into
smaller units or passed as a large chunk relatively intact. It is a purely
random event. Due to privacy concerns it is not possible to produce a chart of
the members who do have matches with other members of the group but each member
is able to check that for themselves in their account. What would be helpful is
adding a family tree to your account thus making it much more possible to find
matching autosomal DNA cousins in your research.

Andover, Hampshire, England Parish
Registers (Baptisms – set 4)
Andover, Hampshire, England has often been said to be
the “home of the Blakes” when I have been writing to people in Hampshire
through the years. I would say that Calne, Wiltshire perhaps has a stronger
hold on that particular title although there are a number of other areas in
England where the Blake family has been for centuries. When I decided to
transcribe the Parish Registers of Andover I was surprised to find that yes
there are a number of Blake entries but there are far more Blake entries in
Parish Registers in other parts of England as mentioned. In this issue, I will
publish the baptisms for Blake in the Parish Registers. These records are taken
from fiche which have scans of the original parish registers. The registers for
baptisms begin in 1588 and have provided me with a lot of details on the Blake
family in Andover in the late 1500s and into the 1600s/1700s. Eventually I hope
to complete my project of transcribing these Parish Registers for St Marys
Andover beyond the early to mid 1700s.
Baptismal Registers commenced in 1588 and I will
start publishing these transcriptions for Andover.
