Biography

Daughter of John Carew of Anthony House

Research Notes

According to the Floyer pedigrees cited below, her father is John Carew of Antony (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Carew-285). "John Floyer of Floyer’s Hayes, co. Devon (son of William Floyer of Floyer’s Hayes, by Philippa his wife, dau. and heir of John Croke of Box, co. Wilts); mentioned in his mother’s will 10 April 1511. = Joan Carew, dau. of John Carew of Anthony House, co. Cornwall (his second cousin); settlements before marriage dated 10 April 1511.” [Visitation of England and Wales Volume 5 (1903) 24-29 (Pedigree of Floyer).]

This is confirmed by Brad Verity's posts on soc.genealogy.medieval: https://groups.google.com/g/soc.genealogy.medieval/c/9Tb5Au0TZBg/m/JP8FuSTeBQAJ https://groups.google.com/g/soc.genealogy.medieval/c/2Bqrww_7DY8/m/zmq3sMg7AQAJ

Furthermore, according to Brad Verity on soc.genealogy.medieval:

"Rev. J. K. Floyer, M.A., F.S.A., wrote an article, entitled 'Pedigree of the Family of Floyer, 11th to 16th Century; With Evidences and Notes' as a follow-up to the Floyer pedigrees in the Visitation of England and Wales Notes Volume 5 linked above. It was published in 'Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica' 4th Series, Vol. 5 (1914), pp. 303-307, 346-351.

In Note W on p. 351, Rev. Floyer transcribes the 1511 marriage settlement of John Floyer and Joan Carew of Antony mentioned in the 1903 Floyer pedigree in VEW Notes. If transcribed correctly, we have the contemporary early 16th-century evidence that John Floyer's wife Joan was the daughter of John Carew of Antony House:

"Omnibus Christi fidelibus, etc., Philippa ffloyer vidua nuper uxor Willelmi ffloyer salutem in domino sempiterno Noverint me prefatam Philippa dedisse, etc., Johanni ffloyer filio et heredi apparenti mei et Johanne Carew filie Johannis Carew de Anthony armigeri quam vero Johannam dictus Johannes ffloyer gracia divina ducet [footnote: Duxit?] in uxorem omen meam terram de Hulkbeare et Wauhall, etc. Tenendum predicto Johanni et Johanne et heredibus de corporibus, etc. Testibus Johanne Moore et aliis. Dat. 10 die Aprilis Anno R. Regis Henrici 8 2ndo (1511). (B. and P.)"

I'm sorry, I can't easily figure out what exactly Rev. Floyer has abbreviated to "B. and P." But whatever it may stand for, it was his source for the marriage settlement. As his article is extremely well-detailed with copious documentation, I trust that it was an authentic document, transcribed correctly."
