A further reference to John Carver is found through the Daughter Grace Carver's marriage to Robert Barber.

"Near this place lieth the body of John Carver, Esq., late of Chettle in this county, son of John Carver, Esq., of Skirton, in the county of Lancaster, and Mary his wife, daughter of John Warner Esq., of Kirkby Overblow, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and lineally descended from Sir John Warner of Warner Hall, in the county of Essex, and Farham, in the county of Suffolk.

He married Margaret Elizabeth de Gury, daughter of the Marquis de Gury of the kingdom of France, by whom he had no issue legitimate.

He left three sisters; Mary who married the Right Honourable Lord Ward of Himley, in the county of Stafford; Elizabeth Carver, spinster; and Grace, who married Robert Barber, Esq. of this parish.

He died Sept. 4, 1753, aged 33 years. He was killed by a fall from his horse, which he had been warned not to ride, as he was starting to ride back to Chettle from a hunting dinner at Uie Famham Inn. The tradition still remains at Ashmore.

1. Gent Mag. Oct. 1753 " John Carver of Chettle Dorsetshire, by a fall from his horse 5 Sep."

A note in Collins Peerage Ed. 1812 which seems to refer to his father, most probably refer to this John Carver as it speaks of children by a french lady, leaving their legitimacy doubtful.

He was only tenant of Chettle House, and doubtless buried at Ashmore at his Sister's home.
