Some sources have his mother as Nicholas's first wife Amica Peverel, (who died 1292).[4] Others have his mother as his second wife Avice Martin.[5][6]
After the death of his older brother John, in 1324, he inherited the manor of Moulsford in Berkshire, and held it in 1331,[7] after which it passed to his nephew John.[8]
In 1328 he inherited part of the manor of Denchworth (later known as Cleets) from his uncle David Martin, Bishop of St David,[1][9] sister of Avice Martin, and granted part of it to Richard Cleet in 1333.[10]
He was married twice.[11] One wife was Maude Pauncefot with whom he had two children:
William Carew (Sir) (d. 1357)
Hugh Carew of Hereford (d. AFT 1402)
The other wife was an un-named daughter(and heiress) of the Melemaynes who held the manor of Malmaynes [12] (there are a variety of spellings) in the parish of Stoke, in Kent. They had two more children:
John CAREW (Priest of Beddington) (d. 1375)
Nicholas CAREW of Beddington
Sources seem to differ on which was the first, and which the second, wife. A 1348 deed records Nicholas as the elder son of Thomas.[13]
