  • Notes 
    • s/o William BLAKE & Agnes
      m1 Hannah BRECK (1622–1706); children:
      1. John Blake (1640-1700)
      2. Caleb Blake (1631-?)
      3. Robert (1644-1676)
      m2 Mary Souther SHAW in Boston on 16 Aug 1654; child:
      1. Hannah Blake (1657–1659)

      When John Thorne Blake and his twin sister Anne were born on 29 Aug 1618, in Pitminster, Somerset, their father, William, was 24 and their mother, Agnes, was 24. John was Christened on 29 Aug 1618 and because he and Anne were twins it seems likely that both were Christened on that date.
