Blake, William (2),

an English Baptist minister, was born at Chippenham, July 5, 1786. He was converted when young, and for a time was a book-keeper in a large factory at Bradford-on-Avon. He began to preach near his native place, and his only pastorate was at Broughton Gifford, where he remained forty-two years, and died Feb. 23, 1869. See (Lond.) Baptist Hand-book, 1870, p. 188. (J. C. S.)
