Joseph Blake (criminal)
Joseph "Blueskin" Blake (''baptised'' 31 October 1700 – 11 November 1724) was an 18th-century English highwayman and prison escapee. Early life Blake was the son of Nathaniel and Jane Blake. He was baptised at All-Hallows-the-Great in London. His parents had the means to send him to the parish school of St Giles-without-Cripplegate for about six years. A school friend, William Blewitt, introduced him to the self-styled "Thief-Taker General" (and thief) Jonathan Wild around 1714. He left school and became a professional thief. By the age of 17, he was earning his living as a pickpocket, working with Edward Pollitt (or Pawlett or Pollard), and had been nicknamed "Blueskin". The origin of his sobriquet is uncertain: it could be due to his swarthy complexion, but possibly also to excessive facial hair, a Port-wine stain, port-wine birthmark, or perhaps a punning reference to his friend Blewitt. Later life By 1719, Blake was working with Irish highwayman James Carrick (h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Joseph Blake, 3rd Baron Wallscourt
The Rt Hon. Joseph Henry Blake, 3rd Baron Wallscourt (2 June 1797 – 28 May 1849), was an Irish nobleman and pioneering socialist. Blake (one of The Tribes of Galway) was the eldest son of Colonel Henry James Blake, younger brother of The 1st Baron Wallscourt. He grew up on the Ardfry Estate, near Maree, where his father was the estate agent. He was educated at Eton before joining the 85th Regiment of Foot at the age of 15. When, at 18, he unexpectedly inherited the Ardfry Estate and the Wallscourt title on the death of his first cousin, he abandoned his military career. It was during subsequent travels in Europe, according to Lord Wallscourt, that he was first impressed by "some of the theories, then much debated, for lifting the labourer into the position of partner with the capitalist." Following a visit to the co-operative commune at Ralahine in County Clare–about from his home–he attempted to implement socialist theories on his own estate. The results, evident ...
