I did complete this several weeks ago but forgot to put it up online before going away for Canada Day - went just a little earlier than expected and a number of items were forgotten including my reading glasses!. I just had a look at the blog I produced on my phone and it is full of errors. I will get that corrected soon. There is always so much to do when you get home. I only sent one email and I am nervous to look at it now that I have seen my blog. It is probably also full of errors. I should have gotten someone to read it before sending but I actually did read it several times and didn't spot anything but I will admit that reading without my reading glasses is a challenge. I saw this one particular email and felt I should be speedy in my response. However, I did have to send another but waited until I got home as it was going to be longer. I shall soon have my bifocals back in January. It has been nice though not to wear them as it is blurry looking down. It is okay in the house on stairs as I hold on but more difficult when there isn't anything to hang on to.
The newsletter is on the FT DNA website but will paste it in here. It will be a couple of days before I add the images to the blog I expect as I am trying to work on the Kipp Newsletter to get it completed so that I can get to the Research Room and look up the Subsidies for Somerset.

Who was Humphrey Blake whose will was
probated 4 Feb 1626 (buried 19 Nov 1625 Bridgwater St Mary, Somerset, England) ?
Humphrey Blake did not date his will but it was probated 4 Feb 1625/1626 (he
was buried 19 Nov 1625 at Bridgwater St Mary). For probate date I am using the
date which appears on the National Archives website and it is new style. I
found it was quite easy to think in Old Style up to the end of December 1752
and then switch to New Style with January of 1753. I didn't want to put a slash
second double digit year ending on every record affected. I have made copious
notes on this in my own work so hopefully it will be noted if someone else
picks up my work one day but I have used the double dating for this note.
Humphrey Blake of Bridgwater whose will was probated 4 Feb 1625/1626 was the son of Robert Blake and Margaret Symonds and hence traces back to the known progenitor of this Blake line Humphrey Blake whose will was probated 11 May 1559 at Over Stowey. Robert was buried 15 Oct 1592 at Bridgewater and Margaret left her will which was probated 7 Nov 1600 and a transcription appears in an earlier blog (http://kippeeb.blogspot.ca/2012/04/will-of-margaret-blake-wife-of-robert.html) and reproduced here below. Humphrey had one brother William and one sister Anstice who lived to adulthood. He was also the father of Lord High Admiral Robert Blake who, although he served under the Commonwealth (Oliver Cromwell), is still considered to be one of England's greatest Admirals. At the time of the Restoration of King Charles II he was not to receive such high consideration but he has returned to his place of honour amongst the great heroes of England.

The will, quite long, is an interesting one and I will follow it up with the will of her husband Robert. As the parents of Humphrey they are most interesting and Robert was the son of a Humphrey Blake. The will of this Humphrey (father of Robert) mentions Robert’s daughter Anstice as one of Roberts’ daughters but other than Anstice they have been lost to time it would appear. That Anstice was alive in 1558 would make her 42 or more years of age in 1599 when this will by her mother is written. Margaret also mentions Robert, son of her son Humphrey and he was known to be about one year of age at the time the will was written and the eldest of Humphrey’s children. One is left to think that Anstice was much older than her brothers or they have married quite late. For the most part this will is about the relations of Margaret although some mention of Blake. But it is in the establishment of a time line that this will has aided us.
Robert, husband of Margaret, left a non-cupative so one is left to surmise that his death was sudden. His will was written on the 11th October 1592 about seven years before the death of his wife and his sons are adults at least Humphrey as he probated the will. His daughter was not mentioned in his will.

Humphrey (son of Robert above)’s wife was Sara Williams (widow, first husband was (unknown) Smithers) and they lived at Bridgwater. Their home is now preserved as a Museum to the great Admiral Blake. They had nine children living at the time the will was written: Robert, Humphrey, William, George, Nicholas, Samuel, Benjamin, Bridgett and Alexander. George is not mentioned in the will which is surprising perhaps. George was in the Navy already and living in Plymouth (Devon) so perhaps had already received his inheritance. However his brothers do remember George’s children in their wills. Humphrey and Sarah had twelve children in total (1st George and 1st Benjamin died as infants, Edward died before his father's will) but eight of the nine children are mentioned as adults in the will of Humphrey Blake below.

First step is to look at the parents of this Humphrey Blake named above as
Robert Blake and Margaret Symonds. Humphry Blake was baptized 26 May 1563 at
Bridgwater, Somerset but the parents were not listed. The marriage of Robert
Blake and Margaret Symonds was not in the Bridgwater St Marys Parish Register. I
did check the Over Stowey Parish Register and the marriage of the youngest
brother of Robert was on one of the first pages in this register. In support of
Robert Blake and Margaret Symonds as his parents was their life at Bridgwater
where Humphrey Blake was baptized (and the wills which they left above). The
Blake Museum is a 16th century house so could have been in existence
when Humphrey was baptized at Bridgwater in 1563. The Protestation Returns for
1641 at Bridgwater lists Hum: Blake, Robert Blake, Beniamin Blake, Ric Blake, C
Blak. Humphrey is likely the second son of Humphrey Blake and Sarah Swithers
(formerly Williams) with Benjamin being their 11th son. Who then were
Richard Blake, Francis Blak and C. Blake found on the Protestation Returns in
1641 at Bridgwater? In total there are 39 Blakes on the extant Somerset
Protestation Returns including two at Carhampton, one at Cutcombe, seven at
Dunster, one at Luxborough, five at Bridgwater, one at Bradford, one at
Kingston St Mary, three at Pitminster – Blagdon Tithing, one at Pitminster –
Fulford Tithing, one at Ruishton, one at Taunton, one at Batcombe, one at North
Wootton, one at Halse, one at Old Cleeve, one at Sampford Brett, three at
Stogumber, two at Nether Stowey, three at Over Stowey and one at Watchet, St
Decumans. In reality there are a lot of Blake males over eighteen years of age
in 1641/42 in this Somerset area.
Robert is the linchpin in all of this as he can be traced back to a Humphrey
Blake who died at Over Stowey and married to Anne (according to this abstract
of his will below) and the grandfather of Humphrey Blake who left his will at
Bridgwater which was probated in 1626. This Humphrey (will probated in 1626) is
a very well known historical figure as the father of Robert Blake (Lord High
Admiral of the Fleet). His parentage is often quoted as Robert Blake and
Margaret Symonds of Bridgwater with Robert said to be the son of a Humphrey and
Anne/Agnis Blake who were buried at Over Stowey (and the wills above do make
this connection well). This Humphrey father of Robert Blake also left his will but
only an abstract remains:

A family lore in the
Somerset Blake family (and encouraged by a comment on the Blake Pedigree Chart
held by the Swindon and Wiltshire Record Office) has the Blake family of
Somerset as descendant of the Blake family of Calne. Indeed they used the coat
of arms which can be seen as a watermark on this newsletter which is generally
attributed to the Blake family of Calne. The next issue of this newsletter will
look at Humphrey Blake and his parentage if that can actually be determined. Humfrey who died in 1558 does appear to be one
of the older members of this Blake family in Somerset looking at earlier
subsidies but I am hoping to get to the Family History Library before October
to look at subsidies from the late 1400s and all of the 1500s. The next logical
step in looking at Humphrey is the extant tax records (subsidies) for Somerset.
There is a Lay Subsidy from 1585 for Lidierd (perhaps Bishops Lydeard) and
there isn’t a Blake family listed there (Humphrey who died in 1558 was said to
be born there). There is a Walter de Blakedon at Codecombe (Hundred of
Carhampton, page 247). Codecombe looks to be an earlier name for present day
Cutcombe. The distance from Cutcombe to Bishop’s Lydeard is 18.3 miles or 29.5
kilometres. This is the general area in which the Blake families lived though
in the 1600s.
It would be most interesting to draw out this subsidy information if it
actually exists and to me seems like the logical step to looking at the
parentage of Humphrey Blake said to be born at Bishops Lydeard circa 1499-1500
and buried at Over Stowey 28 December 1558. The distance from Bishop’s Lydeard
to Over Stowey is 8.7 miles or 14 kilometres.

Blake yDNA Study at FT DNA
Having given a lot of thought to the display of the yDNA study at FT DNA for
the Blake family, I have concluded that the best way to display the information
is based on the hierarchical display beginning with the furtherest back in
common mutation found in any particular group. This will take some time to work
through and I will enter in as much as I have completed thus far. Anyone else
wanting to work with me on this design is most welcomed. At 76 I am finding
that I have so much work still to do that my time spent on this will not really
be adequate other than to point out that studies these days are looking at the
path back and where different lines diverged.
There are three members of the study in ungrouped.
Looking at the third member listed he gives his ancestral origin as England and
a John Blake living circa 1590 to 1650. He belongs to the R haplogroup and his
furtherest down mutation is YP5320. The long form for this particular line R1a1a1a1c1.
The R1a group in this study believes they are descended from the East Anglia
Blake family which centered at Swaffham Market, Norfolk. His alleles place him
into this group but I am curious who the John Blake was that he is referring to
in his ancestry. I will place him in the East Anglia group. None of the other
members of this group have tested their haplogroup beyond M173/M198/M512. It
will be interesting to see if any other members now do test their haplogroup. I
will review the total member’s pages. I am going to place these two ungrouped
members into D3-M269 as having British Ancestry although nothing is given in
their record to indicate such ancestry.
The other two members in Ungrouped belong to R-M269. There are five distinct
groups identified reaching back to R-M269. There is no other pertinent
information that would assist with placing these two members other than their
alleles. The first member has not tested to as many markers as the second
member but they are virtually a match to that position.
I did not do any work on the group labeled as X-Blake ancestry not in direct
line. Definitely that would be a group that members of this group would have to
inform me if they wished to pursue being part of any of the other groups.

Andover, Hampshire, England, Parish
Registers - Baptisms
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.

Andover, Hampshire, England Parish
Registers - marriages
I will publish the marriages for Blake in the Parish Registers of St Marys
Andover. These records are taken from fiche which have scans of the original
parish registers. The registers for marriages begin in 1587 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.
Marriage Registers commenced in 1587
