This will for George Blake is the likely son of George Blake whose will was dated 1832. George was living at Duntisbourn Abbots at the time of his death. John Blake, his brother, and also mentioned in the will of George Blake was living at Bagendon. George was a bachelor.
George Blake is listed on the 1841 census at Duntisbourn Abbots living on his own and is a Farmer. On the schedule is one page away from William Blake and Elisa. John Blake is on the 1841 census at Badgington as an Inn Keeper, 50 years of age, with wife Sarah also 50 years of age, Elizabeth 15 years and Eleanor 10 years. He is on the 1851 census still at Bagendon (Badgington is an archaic name for Bagendon) at Parrots Brook Head Inn and he is an Inn Keeper and has 15 acres of land. He is 64 years of age and born at Shipton in Gloucestershire. His wife Sarah is 60 years of age and born at Duntisbourne Abbot. Their children Sarah Ann is 24 years and unmarried born at Horcott near Kempsford. Their daughter Eleanor is 22 years of age, unmarried and born at Horcott near Kempsford. John would have been born circa 1787.
The addition of the second page in this case does provide a rather interesting name in Francis Day. The name Howell does appear on the likely father George’s will.

Will of George Blake of Jackbarrows, Duntisbourne Abbots, Gloucestershire -
This will for George Blake of Jackbarrows in the parish of Duntisbourne Abbots helps tie together the last will with this one. Elizabeth Blake was listed as the mother of William Blake of Duntisbourne Abbots. There is a William Blake at Jackbarrow Farm, Duntisborne Abbots, farmer, born circa 1784 on the 1851 census and at Shipton Moyne. I had to correct my previous post as I appear to have pulled up a different census then I recorded. George Blake mentions his children the eldest possibly William who is also his executor, his son George, his son John and his daughter Eleanor Howell wife of Harry Howell.
Is George the husband of Elizabeth Blake whose will was administered by William Blake? It would appear so but will leave it at that for the moment. There are more wills to come for this family.
Jackbarrow Farmhouse still exists as a Grade II listed building:
http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/england/gloucestershire/duntisbourne+abbots
I did find a Harry and Elenor Howell on the 1851 census at Ashton Keynes. She was 60 years of age so born circa 1791. Living with them an unmarried daughter Ellen 21 years and two granddaughters Elizabeth Howell 6 (born at Cirencester) and Elenor Day 8 years (born at Avening). This Elinor though is born in Wiltshire at Shipton Main. The same family on the 1841 census at Coates with son Henry 12 and daughter Helen 10. Interestingly Duntisbourne Abbots is only 10 miles from Ashton Keynes. Shipton Moyne only 11 miles from Ashton Keynes. Duntisbourne Abbots is 13 miles from Shipton Moyne.
A little sleuthing brought up the marriage of Eleanor Blake and Harry Howell at Duntisbourne Abbots Ml from Boyd’s Marriage Index in 1813. I will check the Society of Genealogists site as I am a member to see if there is any more information for this marriage. No further details but the information from the census does point to this being the correct family. Plus William was also born at Shipton Moyne.
On the 1851 Census William is listed as a farmer with 550 acres. His wife was Ann 65 years of age. Their niece Hannah Hale is with them (16 years of age born same place as Ann, Berkley) and a cousin William Moss (widower, 28 years of age) born at Shipton. It is the 1841 census that has William Blake living at Duntisbourne Abbots 55 years of age and an Eliza Blake 35 years of age. His marriage to Ann was perhaps after the census was taken in 1841. There was an Elizabeth Blake who died in Cirencester RD sep quarter 1841. There was a marriage at Cirencester mar quarter 1843 of a William Blake and Ann Perkins is one of the names listed.
Looking at family search I did find a baptism for a George Blake 7 Jan 1788 at Shipton Moyne son of George and Sarah Blake. Was Elizabeth his second wife? There was a marriage of George Blake to Sarah Hillier in 1781 at Shipton Moyne from the Society of Genealogists website.
Pages 2, 3, and 4 were downloaded from Ancestry and two of them have been transcribed below. They do not add to the description of this will except that William Blake, son of George, was infirm. I did not transcribe the 4th page because it is just a form for establishing the rector of the parish of Duntisborne Abbots as Commissioner and permitted to swear in William Blake to fulfil the will as written.

Will of John Francis Buller Esquire of Morval - The National Archives PROB 11/792/266, probated 1 Feb 1752
The will of John Francis Buller follows and he was the grandson mentioned in the will of his grandfather Johannis Buller-1. He married Rebecca Trelawny daughter and heir of Sir Jonathan Trelawny Baronet, DD and Bishop of Winchester. They were married 22 Jul 1716. They were the grandparents of John Buller whose will was blogged yesterday.
He names his eldest son James. Then his second and third sons John and Francis and they are his executors. The youngest son is William and his daughers were Rebecca who married Vice Admiral Sir Charles Watson, Anne married Reginald Pole of Tywardreath, Mary married Sir Joseph Copley Baronet and Elizabeth married Reverend John Sturges, D.D.
The testator's father John died of smallpox in 1701 and was raised mostly by his grandfather whose will has been posted (Johannis-1 Buller). He obviously followed his Executors advice and the demand of his grandfather that he marry someone of whom they would approve namely Rebecca daughter of Sir Jonathan Trelawny Baronet, D.D. Bishop of Winchester. Once again these lines for the most part are traced down and I doubt that my Christopher born circa 1763 is descendant of this line.
The next will is written by Mary Buller the mother of John Francis Buller (present testator). She was the daughter of Sir Henry Polloxfen, Knight, Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. It was her husband who died of smallpox. They had only two children Mary Ann who married Christopher Harris, MP and John Francis Buller.
