CAREW OF HACCOMBE, BARONET 1661.
[Illustration] About the year 1300, by the marriage of Sir John de
Carru with a coheiress of Mohun, this ancient family first became
connected with the county of Devon. The Carews are descended from
Gerald, son of Walter de Windsor, who lived in the reign of Henry
I., which Walter was son of Otho, in the time of William the
Conqueror. Haccombe was inherited from an heiress of Courtenay, and
was settled on this the second branch of the family in the fifteenth
century.
The extinct families of Carew of Bickleigh and Carew Earl of Totnes
were descended from Sir Thomas Carew, elder brother of Nicholas, the
first of the Haccombe line. The present Lord Carew, of Ireland,
represents, in fact the elder line of this family, being descended
from a nephew of the Earl of Totnes. Carew of Antony, Baronet
(1641), now extinct, was a younger branch of the house of Haccombe.
See Leland's Itin., iii. fol. 40; Prince's Worthies of Devon, 148,
176, 204; Westcote's Devonshire, 440; Pedigrees, 528; Wotton's

family formerly seated in the county of Cork, see Coll. Topog. and
