Will of Margaret Blake, widow, New Sarum, Wiltshire - The National Archives PROB 11/1535/342, probated 24 Jul 1812
An interesting will for Margaret Blake. Her mother was Charlotte Cartwright and that would fill in why her eldest son John has the middle name Cartwright. The online tree that has Sarah Cartwright as the mother of John would then appear to be incorrect as his mother would have been Margaret Cartwright and John identified his wife as Margaret in his will blogged earlier:
http://kippeeb.blogspot.ca/2013/12/will-of-john-blake-esquire-of-new-sarum.html
That clears up that misconception.
Margaret identifies her children as Margaret Kitson and Henrietta Shuckburgh as her two remaining daughters. Ann, her other daughter left her will which was blogged:
http://kippeeb.blogspot.ca/2013/11/will-of-ann-blake-spinster-new-sarum.html
Margaret doesn’t mention her sons John Cartwright Blake or Robert Blake. However, her will does show the Cartwright line clearly.

Will of John Blake, Esquire of New Sarum (Salisbury), Wiltshire - The National Archives PROB 11/1386/193, probated 9 Feb 1803
John Blake is the testator and already know as the father of Ann Blake who left her will dated 11 Mar 1812 and blogged earlier:
http://kippeeb.blogspot.ca/2013/11/will-of-ann-blake-spinster-new-sarum.html
John, the testator, names his wife as Margaret whereas online trees suggest that the wife of John Blake was Sarah Cartwright (second name of the eldest son John was Cartwright) but John could have married a second time (could not locate any information in that regard). John identifies his children as John Cartwright Blake, Robert Blake, Ann Blake, Margaret (married to Edward Addicott Kitson) and Henrietta (married to Charles William Shuckburg stated in Ann’s will). This does prove that the book A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain, Volume 2, by John Burke was correct in naming Henrietta’s father as John.
A couple of items mentioned in the will below:

How does this family link in with others at New Sarum? Are they a Wiltshire Blake family?

John, the testator, names his wife as Margaret whereas online trees suggest that the wife of John Blake was Sarah Cartwright (second name of the eldest son John was Cartwright) but John could have married a second time (could not locate any information in that regard). John identifies his children as John Cartwright Blake, Robert Blake, Ann Blake, Margaret (married to Edward Addicott Kitson) and Henrietta (married to Charles William Shuckburg stated in Ann’s will). This does prove that the book A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain, Volume 2, by John Burke was correct in naming Henrietta’s father as John.

Will of Ann Blake, Spinster, New Sarum, Wiltshire - The National Archives PROB 11/1531/151, probated 11 Mar 1812
Ann Blake, Spinster, is the testatrix for this will. I found a tree online for the Kitson family which suggests that the parents of Margaret Blake, sister of Ann, were John Blake and Sarah Cartwright. I have not been able to verify this information. Ann has a brother Robert and two sisters Henrietta and Margaret.
Margaret Blake married the Reverend Edward Addicott Kitson (born circa 1773 and son of Reverend Walter Kitson and Martha Addicott) and Reverend Kitson was vicar of Clyst of St Lawrence and St Mary Church, Torquay. According to Find My Past Edward Addicott Kitson married Margaret Blake 25 Jun 1798 at Salisbury St Martin and they were both 26 years of age and Edward was of Clyst St Lawrence, Devon. The Bondsman was John Henry Jacob Clerk Salisbury Close (licence 21 Jun 1798). Children for this couple named in the World Connect database for the Kitson family:

John Thomas
Henrietta Blake married the Reverend Charles William Shuckburgh, Clerk of Downton, Wiltshire at the time of his decease as he has left a will in 1833. I may purchase this will but for the moment will see what I can discover about Henrietta and her husband. They were married at Saint Martin, Salisbury 16 July 1798 according to Find My Past (license 14 July 1798). He was of the parish of Salisbury Close, Wiltshire and 26 years of age and Henrietta was 23 years of age. This was from the Sarum Marriage Licence Bonds. Robert James Carr, Clerk, Salisbury Close was bondsman.
Another online tree also suggests that Henrietta’s father was the daughter of John Blake (also from A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain, Volume 2 by John Burke (free on Google Books - search on Charles William Shuckburgh)
