He was a member of the Military Company, with the rank of Sergeant, whether this was the ARTILLERY COMPANY is undertain. He was Selectman of the town several years and was chosen Deputy to the General Court in 1680-1683-1690-1697.

He was a close friend to Rev. Peter Thacker who said: "Sgt. Blake, Brother Clap, Mr. Taylor and I went out to see for deer, but saw none and, at our return, we supped at Sgt. Blake's."
