Sir John Berkley, who then lay before Exeter, was the next supreme officer qualified to entertain such a treaty, and he instantly, by the same conveyance, returned him as ample assurance of his own conditions as could be; with advice, that he should not upon defect of forms (which upon his engagement should be supplied with all possible expedition to his own satisfaction) defer the consummating the work, which hereafter possibly might not be in his power to Warwick Bampfylde, bart. of Poltimore, but d. s. p. 24th March, 1748, when the BARONETCY reverted to his kinsman, VII.

SIR JOHN CARLETON, of Holcombe, in Oxfordshire, created a BARONET in 1627, was eldest son and heir of George Carleton, esq. of Holcombe, by Elizabeth, his wife, daughter and co-heir of Sir John Brockett, of Brockett Hall, Herts, and inherited in 1631, under the will of his uncle, Sir Dudley Carleton, Viscount Dorchester, that nobleman's estate at Brightwell, in Oxfordshire. He m. in 1625, Anne, daughter of Sir R. Houghton, knt. of Houghton, in Lancashire, and relict of Sir John Cotton, of Lanwade, in Cambridgeshire, by whom he had one son and two daughters, viz. Katherine, daughter of Charles Bolle, esq. of Haugh, which lady d. s. p., and secondly, Anne, daughter of Sir Richard Dyer, knt. of Staughton, in the county of Huntingdon, by whom he left at his decease in 1619, a son, 11. SIR ROBERT CARR, of Sleaford, who m. Mary, daughter and co-heir of Sir Richard Gargrave, knt. of Nostell, in the county of York, and dying 14th Aug. 1667, was s. by his son, III. SIR ROBERT CARR, of Sleaford, who m. Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Bennet, sister of Henry, Lord Arlington, and was s. at his decease, in November, 1682, by his son, IV. SIR EDWARD CARR, of Sleaford, at whose decease s. p. 1683, aged twenty-one, the BARONETCY be REGINALD DE CARTERET, son of Sir Philip de Carteret, Lord of St. Owen, preserved, by his prudence and valour, the island of Jersey from falling into the hands of the French in the year 1374, when Bertrand du Guesclin, constable of France, famous for his many victories over the English, passed suddenly from Bretagne into Jersey, with an army of ten thousand men, wherein were the Duke of Bourbon, and the flower of the French chivalry. At that time this Reginald de Carteret secured Mount Orgueil Castle, and defended it so bravely, that after many violent assaults the constable withdrew his forces, leaving many of his best soldiers dead under the walls. For this great achievement, Reginald and his seven sons were all knighted by King EDWARD III. in one day. From this gallant personage we pass to his descendant, SIR PHILIP CARTERET, who undertook, in the reign of ELIZABETH, to plant such a colony in the island of Sark, as should keep out the French, and he accordingly enlarged the settlement, and thereby improved his own estate. He m. Rachael, daughter and heir of Sir George Paulet, son and heir of Lord Thomas Paulet, of Cossington, in the county of Somerset, second son of William, Marquess of Winchester, and had, with other issue, PHILIP (Sir), his successor, who m. Anne, daughter of Sir Francis Dowse, knt. of Wallop, in the county of Southampton, and was s. by his eldest son, PHILIP, in the seigniory of St. Owen. This gentleman was created a BARONET in 1670, as SIR PHILIP Carteret, of St. Owen, in Jersey. He m. Anne Dumasque, and dying in 1662, was s. by his son, PHILIP, second baronet, who m. Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Edward Carteret, and dying in 1693, was s. by his son, CHARLES (Sir), third baronet, who was one of the gentlemen of the privy chamber to Queen ANNE, and high bailiff of the island of Jersey. Sir Charles d. in 1715, when the BARONETCY EXPIRED, but his estates passed to Lord Carteret. HELIER, of whom presently. Rachael, m. first, to — Beaver, esq. of the island of Jersey, and secondly, to - De Vic, esq. Judith, m. to Sir Brian Johnson, of Buckinghamshire. The second son, HELIER CARTERET, esq. deputy governor of Jersey, m. Elizabeth Dumasque, and had, with other children, 1. Sir George CARTERET, a naval officer of high reputation, who, through the influence of the Duke of Buckingham, was appointed in the 2nd of King CHARLES I. joint governor of Jersey, and at the breaking out of the civil war, held the office of comptroller of the navy. Sir George was, however, so much esteemed by all parties, that when the parliament passed the ordinance for the Earl of Warwick to command the fleet, then fully and entirely at their disposal, they likewise resolved that Captain Carteret should be vice-admiral: but he declined the appointment at the express command of the king. Upon which Lord Clarendon observes, "his interest and reputation in the navy was so great, and his diligence and dexterity in command so eminent, that it was generally believed he would, against whatsoever the Earl of Warwick could have done, have preserved the major part of the fleet in their duty to the king." Having thus retired from the navy, he withdrew with his family to Jersey; but subsequently returned to aid the projects of the royalists, when he was created by King CHARLES a BARONET, 9th May, 1645. He again, however, went back to his government in Jersey, and there, in the ruin of the royal cause, afforded an asylum to the Prince of Wales, (who appointed him his vice-chamberlain,) Mr. Hyde, afterwards Lord Clarendon, and other refugees of distinction. After this he defended the island of Jersey in the most gallant manner against the parliamentarians, and ultimately only surrendered upon receiving the command of King CHARLES II. so to do. Elizabeth Castle, in the island of Jersey, under Sir George Carteret, was the last fortress that lowered the royal banner. At the restoration, Sir George formed one of the immediate train of the restored monarch in his triumphant entry into London; and the next day he was sworn of the privy-council, and declared VICE-CHAMBERLAIN. He was afterwards returned to parliament by the corporation of Portsmouth. Sir George m. Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Philip Carteret, knt. of St. Owen, and had issue, PHILIP (Sir), who had eminently distinguished himself during the civil wars, and was governor of Mount Orgueil Castle, when it was invested by the parliamentary forces in 1651.

By this lady his lordship had issue, JOHN, his successor, with another son, Philip, and a daughter, Jemima, who both d. unmarried. His lordship, who was a zealous supporter of the revolution, d. at the early age of twenty-six, in 1695. His widow, Lady Carteret, having succeeded as co-heiress to the great Bath estates, upon the decease of her nephew, William-Henry Granville, Earl of Bath, in 1711 (when that dignity became extinct), was created on the 1st January, 1714, Viscountess Carteret, and COUNTESS GRANVILLE, with remainder of the viscounty, default of male issue in her son, John, Lord Carteret, to the uncle of that nobleman, Edward Carteret, esq. and his male heirs.

His lordship was appointed one of the lords of the bedchamber at the accession of King GEORGE I., and constituted in 1716 lord-lieutenant and custos rotulorum of the county of Devon.
