John Carminow
John Carminow or Carminowe (c.1516 – 1592) was an English politician.[1]
He was the son of Thomas Carminow of Respryn, a gentleman of the bedchamber to Henry VIII, and Elizabeth Chesman.[2] His brother, Nicholas Carminowe, was the MP for Launceston (Dunheved) and Bodmin.[3]
He was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Cornwall (5 October 1553 - 5 December 1553) and Truro (1563–1567). He was High Sheriff of Cornwall for 1558–59.[4]
In spite of being described as ‘an old fornicator, a common drunkard, corrupt, ignorant’ he was a Justice of the Peace from 1569 until his death.
He married Margaret, daughter of Christopher Tredinnick, and they had 3 sons, including George and Oliver, MP for St. Mawes, and subsequently for Truro and Tregony and a daughter, Mary.[5]
