    Issue of John Hake and Mary Elizabeth Hutchings  
1.   William HAKE
Bap of William Hake 21 May 1788 at Exeter Cathedral, Devon (priv.), son of John & Mary (ref fmp Devon Baptisms image).

Possible burial 30 Mar 1810 at St Sidwell's, Exeter (ref fmp Devon burials) included here because there is no other William Hake in Exeter that it appears to match.
There is an an uncertain connection in Exeter with a Harriet Hake who was born about 1800 in Exeter and who married William Gotts in 1828; the newspaper reported that she was the only daughter of Mr. W. Hake, vicar Choral of Exeter Cathedral. No other information has been found in fmp or British Newspapers about this marriage, Harriet's baptish or William Hake, but since this William was the son of John Hake, a lay-Vicar of the Cathedral, it is likely he could also be connected to the cathedral.
