married Robert Flake Sr. The children by Katherine Flake's first marriage to
Mr. Wyatt were:
1. Joyce, she was first married to Francis England,and after his death,she
then married George Cripps. She never had children,and in her will as
Joyce Cripps she mentions 'sister Kinner' Susan Bracewell'my sister's
daughter', and my mother Flake' etc.(William and Mary Quarterly Vol 7
page 240-241) Robert Flake is mentioned in the marriage bond of Joyce
