Biography

Jasper Blake [1] was born about 1614 in England. Jasper, a Fisherman and a Seaman,[1] migrated to the colonies in 1647.[2] He married Deborah Everard in 1649. Jasper and his family settled in Hampton, New Hampshire in 1650.[3][4][5] Jasper Blake III was residing in Hampton, New Hampshire in July 1673[6][7] Joseph lived in Hampton in 1660.[8] He owned several lots, and bought the house lot of Thomas Ward.[8] Jasper and Deborah had eleven children: Timothy, Deborah, Israel, John, Sarah, Sarah, Jasper, Samuel, Dorothy, Philemon and Maria.[8]

Jasper Blake III died in Hampton, New Hampshire on 5 January 1674[9][10][11][1][8]

Unproven Origin

Jasper's father may have been Jasper, born in Wimbotsham, England, in 1592. [11]

Disputed Family

Jasper's wife, Deborah, was presumed to be the sister of Rev. Timothy Philemon Dalton. This is not the same Deborah! He died January 5, 1674. She died December 20, 1678. They had 11 children (Wentworth - p38) At the least, she was said to be a relative.[1]

Rev. Timothy Dalton had a sister, Sarah Dalton that married Richard Everard 24 Sept 1623 in Woolverstone, Suffolk. The 1628 Woolverstone baptism of Sarah Dalton's daughter, Deborah Everard, provides the identity of the wife of Jasper Blake of Hampton. The Daltons, Blakes, and Everards were cousins in the modern sense, rather than nephews. Sarah died in England and Richard went to America with her brothers, Timothy and Philemon Dalton. The Daltons and Everards settled in Hampton, New Hampshire. Deborah Everard is the woman that married Jasper Blake not Deborah Dalton. Most, if not all, of Richard Everard's family came to America and settled in Dedham. Deborah Everard and Jasper Blake had 11 children before Deborah died in Hampton, 20 Dec 1678. The family all used the same names - Timothy, Philemon, Israel, Samuel, John.

Death & Legacy

PHILEMON DALTON

ASSOCIATIONS: Philemon Dalton was a brother of Rev. Timothy Dalton (1637, Watertown) and of Sarah (Dalton) Everard (wife of Richard Everard (1638, Dedham)).

BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 2000 George Freeman Sanborn Jr. and Melinde Lutz Sanborn published additional information about the English background of the Daltons and their relationship to other families with representatives in New England, and demonstrated that Deborah, wife of Jasper Blake of Hampton, long known to have been a relative of the Dalton brothers was their niece [NEHGR 154:259-289].

Thank you!

Does anyone object to me making these changes that Deborah his wife was the niece of Timothy and Philemon Dalton. I'm trying to update all the related profiles with the latest research.

Here's the information I have for Deborah:

Rev. Timothy Dalton had a sister, Sarah Dalton that married Richard Everard 24 Sept 1623 in Woolverstone, Suffolk. The 1628 Woolverstone baptism of Sarah Dalton's daughter, Deborah Everard, provides the identity of the wife of Jasper Blake of Hampton. The Daltons, Blakes, and Everards were cousins in the modern sense, rather than nephews. Sarah died in England and Richard went to America with her brothers, Timothy and Philemon Dalton. The Daltons and Everards settled in Hampton, New Hampshire. Deborah Everard is the woman that married Jasper Blake not Deborah Dalton. Most, if not all, of Richard Everard's family came to America and settled in Dedham. Deborah Everard and Jasper Blake had 11 children before Deborah died in Hampton, 20 Dec 1678. The family all used the same names - Timothy, Philemon, Israel, Samuel, John.
