Biography

John Bluet was born 1603, and died November 29, 1634.
He was the son of Arthur Bluett and Jane, daughter and heir of John Lancaster of Bagborough, Somerset.^[1]

On 16 April 1619 when he was 15, he matriculated at Wadham College, Oxford, which had been founded (posthumously) only nine years before in 1610 by his distant cousin Nicholas Wadham (d.1609) of Merryfield, Somerset.

On the 11th of October 1621 he married Elizabeth Portman at North Petherton, Somerset.^[2]

Elizabeth was a daughter of Sir John Portman, Baronet, of Orchard Portman, Taunton, Somerset. They had no sons, but eight daughters, who were prevented from inheriting the manor by tail-male; the heir being his brother, Francis Bluett.

In 1628 John Bluett became MP for Tiverton, Devon.

John and Elizabeth Bluett's four surviving daughters:

1. Anne Bluett - married Cadwallader Jones
2. Mary Bluett
3. Susanna Bluett
