Other information:
Thomas was probably named in honour of his mother's father/brother Thomas Balstone, The naming of Thomas's cousin Sylvester provides further evidence of the Balstone connection Sylvesters were included in each of the two generations of Hawkchurch Balstones in the second half of the sixteenth century. Sylvester Rockett alias Wakely is not named in the very full will of John Rockett alias Wakely (Thomas's father) and the naming of the descendants of this Sylvester suggests he was the son of William of Whitestaunton (Thomas's uncle).
Thomas was the co-purchaser of Thorncombe lands with his father and acquired further lands by purchase after his father's death (notably a three thousand year lease of 90 more acres in Holditch) and from his two marriages.
Joan Wolmington, the first wife he married in 1800 brought him lands in Chardstock as well as money. She came from a family which had been established in Chardstock since at least the thirteenth century, taking the name Wolmington from a manor there of which they were probably the original lords. Their decline from gentry to yeomen seems likely to have occurred in the middle of the sixteenth century. Joan's sister Elizabeth Wolmingtan married Thomas's brother Nicholas. In keeping with yeoman customs, both girls received identical legacies from their father, large enough to ensure they got rich husbands; forty pounds each, plus leasehold lands.
Mary Pysing, his second wife came from a rich family that had acquired lands in Hawkchurch in the sixteenth century, but were primarily based in Crewkerne by the seventeenth century.
Before Thomas came into his inheritance he appears first to have lived on the lands Joan Wolmington brought him in Chardstock, and then in Whitchurch Canonicorum.
Unlike his brother Nicholas, Thomas had a very large family and this is known from his father's will, Abraham (the next ancestor we deal with) was probably child six or seven.
It is in the records associated with Thomas and his brother Nicholas that we can build up a fuller appreciation of the conflicting emotions co-existing between the Rockett and Wakely names. They both married as Rocketts but Nicholas then re-registered his marriage as a Wakely, and christened his children as Wakelys. Thomas, however, did not re-register his marriage - but he christened his first children as Wakelys, a later set as Rocketts, and a final set as Wakelys (all in the space of fifteen years) . In one deed he calls himself Wakely alias Rockett and also as Rockett alias Wakely. We signed his will Thomas Rockett but was buried at Thorncombe as Thomas Wakely in 1648. His will was proved in London in 1649 and by its brevity it backs up information given in deeds that he had distributed almost all of his property among his children before his death.
