* Copied from Harl. MSS. 380, f. 96, to which is added the following note: " This was transcribed out of an ancient writing in parchment, remaining in the possession of Sir Francis Carew, of Bedington, in the county of Surrey, Knight of the Bath, amongst his evidences belonging to that manor, and was compared with the original upon Thursday the 22d day of August 1644." This Will merits attention from the absence of those religious bequests and that solicitude relative to the disposition of the body, which are almost always to be found in the testamentary dispositions of that period. Not a word is said about his funeral, nor is there any other religious or charitable direction than the slight one towards the end: as the character of the testator has not been preserved, it is difficult to account for this omission on any other grounds than that he had previously made those arrangements which formed so important an object of the attention of his contemporaries.
His will of 28 Aug 1432, and contains bequests to his son Nicholas, Mary and Johanne, daughters of his son Thomas, daughters Isabel and daughter Elizabeth Bukton, with residue to his wife Mary (sic = Mercy), who was one of the executors (PCC 16 Luffenham, transcribed in Testamenta Vetusta, p. 260-3 ).

Delamers, Hertfordshire. Born 1395?; died 20 Apr 1458, leaving a will of 14
Nov 1456, proved 10 May 1458, in which he directed his burial at Beddington and
names the 5 children below (PCC 12 Stockton). History of Parliament, 1439-1509
(1: 155) notes he proved his age 4 Henry VI [1426], establishing 1405 as a
birthdate, but this is not possible. Likely the note should read 4 Henry V
[1416]. M.P. for co. Surrey, 1439-1440; Sheriff for Surrey and Sussex, 1440-1,
1444-5, and 1448-9. In 1440, he quitclaimed to "Mercy, who was his father's
wife" his 1/3 part of the manor of Woodmansterne, who held 2/3 of the manor for
her life. In 1454, he settled Great Purley Manor, Berkshire on himself with
reversion to his son Nicholas IV and his wife Margaret.
Married Margaret Fiennes (d. 1503), who married 2ndly, c1459, John Carent,
M.P. for Dorset, 1453.
a. NICHOLAS CAREW IV, of Beddington, Nutfield and Carshalton, co. Surrey,
Sulham, Berkshire, and Delamers, Hertfordshire. Born 1436 (being aged 22 at
the death of his father); died 1466. Son and heir. King's Serjeant, was made
constable of Southampton in 1457. He was sued in 1461, by Mercy, 2nd wife of
his grandfather.
Married Margaret, daughter of Edward Langford.
(1). NICHOLAS CAREW V. Born 1462 (being aged 4 at the death of his
father), came of age in Sep 1484, but died childless about 1485, leaving as his
heirs his three sisters.
(2). SANCHIA CAREW. Married, as his 2nd of 3 wives, Sir John
Iwardby (d. 1525), on whom Carshalton Manor, co. Surrey was settled in 1514.
Great Purley, Berkshire was her share of the estate of her brother.
(3). ELIZABETH CAREW. Married Walter Twynho.
(4). ANNE CAREW. Married Christopher Tropnell. Sulham Manor,
Berkshire was her share of her brother's estate.

Hertfordshire. Died 1492. Heir of his nephew. Married Eleanor Hoo.
c. ROSE CAREW.
d. MARGARET CAREW.
e. GINELINE CAREW.
2. THOMAS CAREW. Predeceased his father, dying in October 1430. He is named
as a son of Isabel on the monumental brass of his parents in Beddington Church.
Another brass in Beddington Church is attributed to him and includes his
sister, Isabel.
Married Agnes, daughter of Thomas Hayton, of Batilles and Westburgh, co.
Surrey. At his death in 1432, Agnes was married to her 2nd husband, John Exham
or Hexham, and by 1450 was married to her 3rd husband, Thomas Sayer, with whom
she conveyed Westburgh to her daughters Mercy and Joan and their husbands,
Richard Ford and William Saunders.
a. JOAN CAREW. Born in or before 1417 (being under age 15 at the time of
her grandfather's will); died 1470. Joan was named as the heir of her
grandfather in his will to his manor of Warlingham, co. Surrey, later called
Carews. In default of Joan's issue the manor was then to descend to her sister
Mercy, with contingent remainders to Nicholas and Isabel, son and daughter of
the testator. Joan married William Saunders, together with whom she brought a
suit against William Selman and William Bradford, trustees appointed by her
grandfather, to oblige them to surrender the estate to her, she being more than
15 years old, the age to which she was entitled to the estate. She deposed
that in spite of this fact and of the will of her grandfather, produced by her
grandmother Mercy, the trustees refused to give it up. The lands were
surrendered to her in 1451. Warlington (Carew) Manor descended to her
descendants.
b. MERCY CAREW. Under age 15 at the time of her grandfather's will.
Contingent heir of her sister. Married Richard Ford.
c. ISABEL CAREW. She had apparently predeceased her grandfather as she
was not included in his will as a contingent heir.
3. ISABEL CAREW. Died 1434. She appears on the monumental brass of her
brother Thomas as Isabel Bukton. Her father bequeathed to her his lands in
Wantynge, Berkshire.
Married 1) Brian Harsick, 2) Robert Bukton.
a. ANN. Named in her grandfather's will.
Issue by MERCY HAYME.
4. ELIZABETH CAREW. Born in or shortly after 1398; died 25 Sep 1410 and was
buried in Beddington Church. Her now lost monumental brass referred to her as
'Elizabetha filia Nicholai et Mariae' the latter name which should read
'Merciae' and wife of 'Thomae Lewknore.' Sir Thomas Lewkenor was one of the
supervisors of the will of her father. Based upon her likely birthdate she was
clearly a childbride and no issue was likely.
5. PHILIPE CAREW. Died 1414 and was buried in Beddington Church. Her
monumental brass there calls her the daughter of Nicholas and Mercy Carreu and
includes the names of 7 brothers and 6 sisters who had predeceased her.
