Cornwall Blake family at Landrake - Accumulated data

The first Blake family to look at in Cornwall will be the family at St E[a]rney and Landrake. The property which they owned there became the property of Francis O’Dogherty, Esquire and he inherited the property from his Blake ancestors.

Initially I took on the task of looking at all the Cornwall wills but decided this was not working well for me. I then extracted all the baptisms, marriages, banns and burials at Landrake and Landrake with St Erney and I am now in the process of collecting the census (1911, 1901, 1891 and 1881 are completed thus far). I am naming the different families and attempting to keep them together through the census. I debated going from 1841 to 1911 but did do the reverse. I may rethink that for the next place in Cornwall. Eventually I will separate out the family lines where I can in a new blog posting and in that way attempt to put together the first Cornwall line. It is more difficult I find as I do not have any knowledge of the Blake family in Cornwall other than the medieval presence and what I have collected.

Will of Richard Blake, Gentleman, St Earney, Cornwall - The National Archives PROB 11/982/21 Nov 1772

Richard Blake of St Earney Cornwall Gentleman is the testator of this will. He is the Mr Richard Blake who married Mrs Elizabeth Blake 28 Sep 1732 which is mentioned in the book which I refer to in the next paragraph. I blogged the will of Philip Blake, gentleman of Landrake and wondered if he was a son of this couple but he does not appear to be although he is named in the will as Executor. That leaves John Blake and Thomazin as possible parents although in the will Richard does not say what relationship Philip Blake is to him. He is older than both Elizabeth and Grace. I must admit I am still prone to thinking that Philip is the son of this testator and has already received land and property. It is surprising though not to see him mentioned as a relative to Richard.

Interesting information from Miscellanea Genealogica Et Heraldica, edited by Joseph Jackson Howard, LLD, FSA, Volume II, second series and published at London: 1888 by Mitchell and Hughes, 140 Wardour Street W. The following from page 240:

"On the 5th May 1764 “Rokeby Scott of parish of St. Andrew’s, Plymouth, Lieutenant in ye 68th Company of Marines,” was married at Landrake, co. Cornwall, by licence, to “Grace Dade, widow.” She was widow of John Dade, Esq., and daughter of Richard Blake of Trelogan alias Treluggan, Co. Cornwall, Esq., to whom she is also stated to have been coheir. In the Registers of St. Erney’s, which adjoins Landrake, the baptism of “Grace da. Of Mr Richard Blake and Elizabeth his wife privately May 22, Received publick baptism July 15, 1739,” and the same Registers record the marriage of “Mr Richard Blake and Mrs Elizabeth Blake,” 28 Sept 1732 and the burials of “Richard Blake of Trelogan, Esquire,” 3 Jan 1770, “Elizabeth Blake, widow,” 2 June 1772, and “Mary Dade daughter of Grace Scott,” 25 Apr 1767; also the baptisms of “Philip,” “Elizabeth,” and “Richard,” children of “Mr Richard Blake and Elizabeth his wife.”

Trelogan, or Treluggan, is in the parish of Landrake, but near the church of St. Erney’s parish. In the latter church is a hatchment on which is the date 1770 and the arms of Blake, viz.: Argent, a chevron between three garbs Sable, impaling “Azure, a saltire Argent between four martlets (or birds of some sort) Or:” Crest, “On a chapeau Or a martlet Argent.” Local tradition assigns this hatchment to the memory of Mr. Richard Blake of Trelogan, and as the date on it is that of the year of his burial there seems no reason to doubt it. Can any correspondent identify the arms impaled with Blake? If Elizabeth Blake, whom Mr. Richard Blake married, as above, in 1732, was his only wife, this coat must be intended for hers, and in that case she must, though his namesake, have been of a totally different family of Blake. Burke’s ‘Armory’ gives no coat like it to Blake.

To anyone who can give me any information about the family of Blake of Trelogan, or identify the “John Dade, Esq.,” who married Miss Grace Blake, as her first husband, I shall be very grateful. I may add that Lysons, in his “History of Cornwall,” states that “Dogherty inherits Trelogan from Blake, his wife having been Blake heiress.” Family tradition in her descendants makes Grace Blake a coheir to her father. "

This will bears out the information that Grace (and her sister Elizabeth) were coheirs of their father Richard Blake. Interesting that this Blake family carries the ancient arms of the Blake family namely Argent, a chevron between three garbs Sable.

If Philip who left his will in 1808 isn’t the son of this Richard and Elizabeth what happened to their son Philip? Is my one thought. Plus there was also a son Richard who is not mentioned either.

Another interesting tidbit from Notes and Queries: A medium of intercommunication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc. Sixth Series, Volume Third, January-June 1881. London (by William White and query from Reginald Stewart Boddington) and found on Google Books on page 89 of this text:

"… Rev Rokeby Scott, Rector of Arthingworth, Northants (he was there buried 3 Oct 1767) and had issue, Rokeby Scott, Lieut. Of Marines (died 28 Oct 1773) having married at St Erney, co Cornwall), May, 1674, Grace daughter of Richard Blake of Trelogan, co Cornwall (relict of John Dade), and had a daughter Emma Anne who married at Holy Trinity, Chester, the Rev. Thomas Maddock, M.A., Prebendary of Chester and who was buried in Chester Cathedral, 19 Feb 1825, leaving issue."

Still the Blake families in Cornwall remain a nystery. Are they all related and do they descend from the Blake family at Comb, Devon?
