                   6.9.2 Richard Blaker and Mary Randell
                   Richard and Mary initially lived in West Grinstead, Sussex. They had 2 children:
                                 •       Joan: b. 1641, West Grinstead, Sussex
                                 •       Richard: b. 1643, Sussex

                   In 1662, Richard Blaker was assessed to the Hearth Tax in the Hundred of
                   Buttinghill (which included Bolney). By 1665, Richard had become a
                   Churchwarden of St. Mary Magdelene Church, Bolney.

                   Mary died in 1669, and was buried in Bolney, Sussex. Richard survived his wife
                   by some 3 years and died in 1672. Richard died ‘intestate’ and Administration to
                   his estate was granted at Lewes later that year, with his son, Richard being given
                   due authority.

                   Richard, like his wife before him, was buried in the churchyard of St. Mary
                   Magdelene, Bolney, Sussex. The exact location of these graves is not known.

                   John was one of 5 children born to George and Elizabeth Blaker. We know

                   in 1617. We do not know if John married, or when he died.
