Will of Thomas Blake, Goldsmith, Alphington, Devon - The National Archives PROB 11/961.365, probated 19 Nov 1770

Thomas, the testator, and his wife do not appear to have any children. I believe this is the husband of Elizabeth Blake, widow, who asked to be buried beside her husband who was buried in St Martin Church in Exeter (line 149 of this will includes his request to be buried at St Martin Church in Exeter). The marriage of Thomas Blake and Elizabeth Hatherly was celebrated 26 Oct 1752 at Kenton Devon (Kenton is 7 miles SSE of Exeter).

Looking again at the website online mentioned in the blog for Elizabeth Blake wife of the testator:

Website looking at this Blake family: http://www.portbury-hundred.co.uk/admiralreport.htm

Thomas mentions sisters and the website above has siblings Martha and Joan for the possible father of Thomas, the testator (and this website above gives the testator Thomas siblings Nicholas and George). This Thomas (possible father of the testator) is said to be the son of John Blake married to (unknown) Tychbourne. This John is said to be the son of Nicholas Blake and Mary Matthews (they had two sons Thomas and John). Nicholas is said to be the son of Nicholas Blake and Anne Meadows (they had two sons Martyn and Nicholas). This Nicholas is said to be the son of William Blake and Anne Lentlow. This William Blake is said to be the son of Martin Blake and Catherine Vaughan (they had two sons William and Richard). This Martin is said to be the son of William Blake married to Jone (unknown) (they had three sons Martin, Walter and Roger). This William is said to be the son of John Blake and unknown (John died 18 Aug 1558 in Overstowey Somerset) (they had two sons and a daughter Humphrey, William and Alice (married to unknown Cabull)). This John is said to be a son of Robert Blake and Avice Wallop which is incorrect as their son John died at Nether Wallop in 1504 leaving a will which does not name a son William.

The Blake Pedigree Chart held by the Swindon and Wiltshire Record Office does have part of this line. They have a son for John Blake (d Nether Wallop 1504 and son of Robert Blake and Avice Wallop) named David and he married Joane Mallet. His son John Blake later became the Abbot of Cirencester in Gloucester) and second son William Blake of Lacock Wiltshire married Margaret Brown (daughter of William Browne of Wablyn). William and Margaret are shown to have two sons Martin who married Catherine Vaughan and John who is said to be the ancestor of Lord High Admiral Robert Blake. This family then disappears from the chart. The time frame for the information on the website mentioned above does not fit the actual and I believe I finally do dismiss it in some parts. The individual who created the online website lives in Somerset and is quite knowledgeable but some of the information is taken from sources that are incorrect namely Horatio Gates Somersby. I will let her know of this latest will so that she can revise her webpage if she so wishes to do. There is still the problem is Thomas the testator a son of the Reverend Thomas Blake who was buried at Alwington

Interesting that Thomas, the testator, mentions having Clergyman’s robes and Cassocks in his home and is this proof that he is indeed descended from the Reverend Thomas Blake who was buried 23 Nov 1713 at Alwington at the age of 61 years.

Stuckly Stevins was baptized 17 Dec 1721 at Barnstaple son of John Stevins and Mary. There were two marriages on Family Search that could be his parents: John Steephins married Mary Rice 14 Jun 1713 at Saint Mary Arches, Exeter, Devon and John Stephans married Mary Shamler 26 Dec 1713 at Kenn, Devon. I suspect that neither of these marriages are his parents however as both are in the Exeter area! The National Archives (UK) carries a document dated 2 Apr 1798 48/25/11/22 which names Stuckly Stevens as a leasee of Castle House in Barnstaple prior to that time.

Mrs. Juliana Pasley/Pasly is mentioned in both the will of Martha Blake blogged (http://kippeeb.blogspot.ca/2013/07/will-of-martha-blake-widow-exon-devon.html ) and the present will. She was a niece to Martha Blake.

The Charles Cutcliffe family of Weach (in the parish of Westleigh) found in the following webpage of the parish of Westleigh:

As always very interesting to put these wills together. The Commissioner for this will’s deponents was John Stabback who was mentioned in the wills of Elizabeth, wife of Thomas the present testator and Martha Blake. I wonder why Thomas doesn’t mention that Martha is his sister in law though if she actually is.

Will of Thomas Blake Barrow - PROB 11/1695/36, probated 10 Feb 1825

The object of transcribing the will of Thomas Blake Barrow was to understand the notation in the will of James Blake Brewer of Gosport now living at Greatbridge in the Parish of Romsey Extra. Looking at all of these parishes Gosport is 0.9 miles from Portsea, and Romsey is 22 miles southeast of Gosport. James is living a good distance from Gosport by the time he is writing his will. If indeed Thomas Blake Barrow did offer a special deal to James Blake it does not appear in the final version of his probated will online. Or I have the wrong Thomas Blake Barrow. Thomas Blake Barrow son of Thomas Blake Barrow was baptized 17 Feb 1799 and so would have been 48 years of age when this will was written. I have presumed that James was referring to the will of Thomas Blake Barrow written in the 1820s but possibly he was referring to the will of Thomas Blake also available at the National Archives  and dated 14 Jun 1844. Was this the Thomas Barrow living at Carisbrook, Isle of Wight? I may wait a bit before I purchase it.

Background on the Barrow family in the will below. There was a Thomas Blake Barrow christened 15 Oct 1769 at Saint Marys Portsea son of Thomas Barrow (C06261-1 Family Search). I find a marriage 1 Sep 1768 of Thomas Barrow and Elizabeth Blake at Saint Marys Portsea. He appears to have been buried 27 Nov 1824 at Alverstoke (I04160-3 Family Search) in St Marys Gosport churchyard (http://www.knightroots.co.uk/transcriptions/Parishes_G/Gosport/Burials/burials.htm) at the age of 56 years. Elizabeth (widow of Thomas Blake Barrow) was buried at St Marys Gosport 7 Mar 1828 at the age of 54 years (so date of birth circa 1774). A William Blake also living at Forton was buried 7 Aug 1831 at the age of 73 years (so date of birth circa 1757).

The children of Thomas and Elizabeth (Blake) Barrow include:

Thomas Blake Barrow baptized 15 Oct 1769 Saint Marys Portsea
Robert Barrow baptized 12 Jan 1772 Saint Marys Portsea

And perhaps the most helpful in my searching thus far is this particular document:

which states: Of the breweries which no longer remain, the most significant must be that of James Blake and Thomas Barrow: South Cross Street Brewery, c. 1814 to 1935, the largest commercial brewery formerly on the site of Gosport’s Police Station and Magistrates’ Court." Which rather answers the question of how Thomas Barrow was involved with James Blake. He was his brother in law. Discovering who James Blake is in terms of his parents will have to wait for the moment.

Thomas Blake Barrow married Elizabeth Grout 7 Jun 1790 at Saint Marys Portsea. Children of Thomas and Elizabeth (primarily RG4_0401 the genealogist.co.uk):

Bishop of Winchester Marriage allegations: 24 May 1785 Lawson, John, of Bread Street, in the City of London, wholesale draper son of William and Catharine Lawson of Silchester baptized at Silchester 4 Feb 179 and Anne Barrow of Forton spinster, minor, born 3 Jan and baptized at Gosport 17 July 1804 with consent of her parents Thomas Blake Barrow of Forton Lodge, brewer and Elizabeth his wife at Alverstoke 1 Jan 1823.

Children mentioned in the will: Elizabeth Webb, Ann Lawson, Lydia Barrow. It is not unusual for sons to be missing from a will as they would have already received their inheritance in their education and setting up in whatever occupation they were destined to become. I will try and determine if they have died though. Thomas' mother Elizabeth (Blake) Barrow is still living and she is likely an aunt to James Blake Brewer but could be his sister. Still to be determined.

Thomas Blake Barrow in his Codicil mentions a copyhold which he purchased in Sussex in the parish of Pagham and in the Manor of Nytimber. The name of the farm of 40 acres is Trotts which I discovered reading through some of the information at The National Archives as it was very difficult to read on the will.
