Carew, Richard, 1555-1620

"The Survey of Cornwall And an epistle concerning the excellencies of the English tongue"

From William is come Carew of Crocum in Somerset shire,
and from Iohn Vere, the now Earle of Oxford, deriueth his pedigree.
Alexander maried Elizabeth the daughter of Hatch, and begate Iohn,
who tooke to wife Thamesin, one of the daughters and heires of
Holland: their sonne Sir Wymond, espoused Martha, the daughter of
Edmund, and sister to Sir Anthony Denny. Sir Wymond had Thomas,
the husband of Elizabeth Edgecumb, and they myselfe, linked in
matrimony with Iulian, daughter to Iohn Arundel of Trerice, and
one of the heires to her mother Catherine Cosewarth, who hath
made me father of Richard, lately wedded to Briget, daughter of
Iohn Chudleigh of Ashton in Deuon.
Touching our stock in generall, and my family in particular,
being once vainly disposed (I would it had bene but once) I made
this idle obseruation.

CArew of ancient Carru was,
And Carru is a plowe,
Romanes the trade, Frenchmen the word,
I doe the name auowe.
The elder stock, and we a braunch,
At Phoebes gouerning.
