Jacob Blakeway
Jacob Blakeway (1583-?) was at the centre of a historic incident in seventeenth century England which caused a great scandal in the seventeenth century and which eventually led to the four More children being sent on the ''Mayflower'' to America in 1620.
For many years early genealogists would wonder why the More children's father, believing him to be Samuel More, would send his very young children away to the New World on the ''Mayflower'' in the care of others. It was in 1959, that the mystery was explained. Jasper More, a descendant of Samuel More prompted by his genealogist friend, Anthony Wagner, searched and found in his attic a 1622 document, which detailed the legal disputes between Katherine and Samuel More and what actually happened to the More children.〔Anthony R. Wagner. ''The Children in the Mayflower'' (The London Times) 30 June 1959 p. 11〕 It is clear from these events that Samuel did not believe the children to be his offspring.〔Anthony R. Wagner. ''The Origin of the Mayflower Children: Jasper, Richard and Ellen More'', (Boston: The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, July 1960), vol. 114, p. 163-168〕 To rid himself of the children, he arranged for them to be sent to the Colony of Virginia.〔Donald F Harris, PhD., ''The More Children of the Mayflower, Part III'', The Mayflower Descendant, vol. 44, no. 2 (July 1994), p. 20〕
== Background ==
Jacob Blakeway was born in July 1583 and baptised on 25 July 1583 at Stanton Long Parish in Corvedale,.〔Stanton Long parish record – held by Shropshire Council Archive, Shropshire, UK〕 He was the eldest son of Edward Blakeway (d.1610) and his wife Anceret (d.1631 – the name is from the Welsh Angharad).〔David Lindsay, ''Mayflower Bastard: A Stranger amongst the Pilgrims'' (New York: St. Martins Press, 2002), p. 9〕〔Donald F Harris, ''The More Children of the Mayflower,'' Part II, The Mayflower Descendant, vol. 44, no. 1 (January 1994), p. 13〕 By 1608, the Blakeway family had been tenants of Jasper More of Larden Hall for many generations. The manor was approximately one half mile away from Brockton, where the Blakeways lived.〔〔Donald Harris PhD., ''The Mayflower Descendant'', (Boston: Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants, January 1994), vol. 44, no. 1, p. 12〕 A track way called Blakeway Hollow leads out of Much Wenlock, and drops over the Edge to Apedale, where there is still today a Blakeway Farm and Blakeway Cottage.〔UK Ordnance Survey number 217, 1:25000, Long Mynd & Wenlock Edge ''()''〕
