--- "Danmonii Orientales Illustres; or The Worthies of Devon" by John Prince, 1810, Page 544:
Nicholas Carswell of Carswell and Hach married Hellena [Ellen], daughter of Bartholomew Fortescue of Wear-Giffard in this county, Esq. And, having no issue that survived by daughters, he docked the intail by a fine, an. 21 Elizab. [1579], of the several manors of Loddeswel, Hach-Arrondel and Carswell; and also of sixty houses, two water-mills and dove-houses, and of 2000 acres of arrable land, 1000 acres of pasture, 200 acres of meadow, 200 acres of woods, and 500 acres of furse and barren lands, lying in Holberton, totnes, Depford, Kingsbridge, and Ashburton (a vast estate), all in this county. So that, at times, the heriesses of this house have distributed the greatest part of Carswell's lands among some of the best families in those parts, as Fortescues, Norleighs, Ford, Elyots, Langworthys, etc.
