John Blake1, b. prob. Malden, England, about 1652, was the son of Capt. (???) and Elizabeth Blake, and a step-son of George Durant who married his widowed mother about 1660. John Blake came to New England with his parents, who must have come to America about 1660-61, when John was about 9 or 10. He died at Middletown, Conn., Nov. 11, 1690. His children were not baptized until after his death, which may indicate that he was a Churchman.
