John Edward Barnett (brother in law to the testator) married Ann Blake 7 Sep 1816 at St Marys and St Benedicts, Huntingdon, Huntingdonshire. The children of John Edward Barnett and Ann Blake mentioned in the will:
Ann
John 1819
But also probably includes Robert 1820, Thomas 1822 and Edward 1823 not mentioned directly by name.

A Cawthorn Blake of Knapwell, Cambridgeshire (married to Mary Sayer of
Conington, Huntingdonshire 11 Dec 1716 at St Benedicts, Cambridge,
Cambridgeshire)) was perhaps baptized 29 Aug 1682 at Glatton,
Huntingdonshire son of John and Hannah Blake.
Unable to determine the origin of this Blake family with the unusual forename of Cawthorne with records back into the 1600s at Godmanchester, Huntingdonshire.

Will of John Blake, freeholder, Penton Mewsey, Hampshire - Family Search, Film 186889, catalogue J-153, number 14, probated 8 Apr 1611
This will of John Blake, freeholder, Penton Mewsey was also acquired from Family Search using their Photoduplication form and it is Film 186889, catalogue designation J-153, year of event 8 Apr 1611 (proven) and number on film 14.
John identifies his family members as Andrew Foster son in law, Silvester Pearce son in law, Robert Seward son in law, his daughter Jane Achwoe, William Trewlove his grandson, Thomas Miles son in law, son is John Blake, Marie Blake his granddaughter (daughter of John), Margarit his wife, Christopher Blake his grandson (son of John) and Jone Blake his grand daughter (daughter of John). Unfortunately the parish registers for Penton Mewsey are only available from the late 1640s on.
I did blog the Blake records at Penton Mewsey a couple of days ago:
http://kippeeb.blogspot.ca/2014/02/blake-family-at-penton-mewsey.html
Is this John the son of the Thomas Blake who left his will in 1597 and was blogged:
http://kippeeb.blogspot.ca/2014/02/will-of-thomas-blake-penton-mewsey.html
Thomas has named his daughters as Elizabeth Crowch, Agnes Blake and Alice Blake and his son as John. He does not mention any grand children. Thomas would have been somewhat elderly since his father likely died in 1542 which makes him over 55 years and likely closer to 60 or more since he is the third last child.
In 1611 John is likely in his 40s and he has just one son John (with a son Christopher at the time of writing his will) and many daughters of whom he only names one Jone/Jane Achwoe. This John Charlou Dolan has as a grandson to Robert Blake who left his will in 1542 at Enham.
There is still a Blake family at Penton Mewsey with their own company C Blake and Sons Ltd at 72 Vigo Road Nursery, Andover SP10 1HP and they are florists. I find this fascinating as my father owned his own business as do my brothers. I wonder if they are descendants of Robert Blake and how much knowledge they have of the Blake family at Penton Mewsey. Although I have traced my line down from Nicholas to Richard to William to William to John to Thomas to Thomas to Joseph who married Joanna King at Upper Clatford, I still leave my mind open to the possibility that the reason Thomas buried his wife and infant son at Penton Mewsey was because that was his home parish (also true of William his great grandfather who lived at Penton) although in general this line was living at Andover up to the marriage of Joseph Blake.
