Sir Nicholas Carew, 1st Baronet
Sir Nicholas Carew, 1st Baronet (6 February 1687 – 18 March 1727), was a Member of Parliament in the Parliament of Great Britain and a baronet in the Baronetage of Great Britain.
He was only surviving son and heir of Sir Francis Carew (died 1689) by his wife Anne Boteler. Sir Francis was a great-grandson of Sir Nicholas Throckmorton, who had changed his name to Carew on inheriting the Beddington estate from his maternal uncle, Sir Francis Carew (died 1611). Nicholas's father died at the age of 26 on 29 September 1689.[1]
Nicholas Carew was returned to Parliament for the Haslemere constituency in 1708, 1714 (at a by-election) and 1715, with a break from 1710, and subsequently sat for Surrey county from 1722 until his death. He was created a baronet on 11 January 1715.[1][2]
He married in or before 1712 Anne, the daughter of Nicholas Hacket of Buckinghamshire. After his death at the age of 40 in 1727, she married William Chetwynd, a forer MP for Wooton Bassett. She died in February 1740 at Marlborough, Wiltshire, while travelling to the spa town of Bath, Somerset.[1]
He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his second but only surviving son, Nicholas Hacket Carew.[1]
