ford, county Wilts, and relict of Sir Hugh Smith, of Long Ashton,

and heir of Thomas Carew, of Antony, Esq., by his wife Elizabeth, 
daughter of Sir Richard Edgcumbe, was born in the early part of 
the year 1556, being aged eight years and two hundred and 
thirteen days at the death of his father on the 12th Feb., 1564. 
He is best known as the author of the Survey of Cornwall, which 
shows him to have been an antiquary of no mean merit for those 
days. Anthony a Wood gives a long account of him, and Camden 
also speaks highly of his qualifications. He was High Sheriff of 
Cornwall in 1586, and sometime member of Parliament for Saltash. 
Richard Carew married Julian, daughter of John Arundell, of 
Trerice, by his first wife Katherine, daughter and co-heir of 
Nicholas Cosworth, of London, and relict of Alan Hill. This 
lady was one of the co-heirs of her mother, but not of her father, 
who by a second wife was ancestor of the Lords Arundell of Trerice. 
Richard Carew had by his lady several children, of whom the eldest 
son, Sir Richard Carew, was created a baronet, which title became 
extinct on the death of Sir Coventry Carew, Bart., and Antony 
passed to the family of Pole. Jane, daughter of Sir John Carew 
(grandson of Sir Richard above), Bart., by his first wife Sarah, 
daughter of Sir Anthony Hungerford, married Jonathan Rashleigh, 
of Menabilly; their daughter and heir, Sarah, married the Rev. 
Carolus Pole, third son of Sir John Pole, of Shute, Bart. Their 
grandson took the name and arms of Carew by the will of Sir 
Coventry Carew, on his succeeding to Antony, and was father of 
the present W. H. Pole-Care w, Esq., of Antony. This family is 
one of the most ancient and noble in the kingdom, and has enjoyed 
several hereditary titles, among them the earldom of Totnes (ex- 
tinct), the present Lord Carew, the old baronetcies of Haccombe 
(existing), and of Antony (extinct), and the recent creation of Adm. 
Sir Morice Carew (also extinct). This is one of the few families 
entitled to supporters by ancient prescriptive right.
