2.   John HAKE
Marr Grace, surname unknown.
He was mentioned in his father's Will (location of Will unknown, see page 1). Baptisms for his children not found.

It may have been this John Hake who was an Oversee for the Protestation Return for Broadclyst, but it is not certain.
During the spring of 1641 there was great unrest in Parliament with discord between the House of Commons and the House of Lords, and plots and sub-plots against both the King and Parliament itself. In May 1641 Parliament agreed upon the following Protestation Oath
“ I, ?--- ?--- do in the presence of Almighty God, promise, vow and protest to maintain and defend, as far as lawfully I may, with my Life, Power and Estate, the true reformed Protestant Religion, Expressed in the Doctrines of the Church of England, against all Popery and Popish Innovations, etc etc" (see many internet sites).

His land was sequestered during the Commonwealth.
"The Commonwealth of England was the republic which ruled first England, and then Ireland and Scotland from 1649 to 1660. After the English Civil War and the execution of Charles I, the republic's existence was initially declared by An Act declaring England to be a Commonwealth by the Rump Parliament, on 19 May 1649. Executive power had already been entrusted to a Council of State. The government during 1653 to 1659 is properly called The Protectorate, and took the fom of direct personal rule by Oliver Cromwell and, after his death, his son Richard, as Lord Protector; this arrangement led to the state being labelled a "crowned republic". The term Commonwealth is, however, loosely used to describe the system of government during the whole of 1649 to 1660, when England was de facto, and arguably de jure, a republic (or, to monarchists, under the English Interregnum)." (Ref Wikipedia article, Commonwealth of England Jan 2011).

John died 1678 (see Devon Wills Index on page 1). .

In 1641/42 Robert Hake signed the Protestation Return for Broadclyst.
During the spring of 1641 there was great unrest in Parliament with discord between the House of Commons and the House of Lords, and plots and sub-plots against both the King and Parliament itself. In May 1641 Parliament agreed upon the following Protestation Oath
“ I, ?--- ?--- do in the presence of Almighty God, promise, vow and protest to maintain and defend, as far as lawfully I may, with my Life, Power and Estate, the true reformed Protestant Religion, Expressed in the Doctrines of the Church of England, against all Popery and Popish Innovations, etc etc" (see many internet sites).

It is very likely that Robert was married to ENGLISH, surname unknown, who was buried as "English Hake the Elder" on 29 Jan 1659/60, about 2 years after the death of granddaughter English as a baby.

Robert was an Overseer for his son Ralph in his 1657 Will, at which time all of Ralph's children were under 21 and his wife was pregnant with twins.

Robert died 1676 (see Devon Wills Index on page 1).
