Double Checking Septs and Geography
So I'm straightening out some Genealogy stuff last night for my Blake line.
My paternal grandmother is a Blake and the well documented line goes back to Peter Blake Sr. b.1440 in SHoutheney, England. The line is strong in Wimbotsham, Norfolk for seven more generations until Jasper Blake III comes over to New Hampshire in the late 1600s.
I run across a print out I made from the House of Names website about the origin of the Blake name. Now House of Names is in the business of selling family crests and coats of arms.
They say that Blake is a sept of Clan Lamont.
That may be, but I don't think my Blakes down in Norfolk were...
Right?
