◆ Fr Edmund Hogan SJ “Catalogica Chronologica” :
George or Richard
DOB Spain of Irish parents; Ent c 1752 Naples; RIP post 1792
1773 At time of Suppression he was Rector at Brindisi College. (In 1768, Father Thorpe writes “A son of an Irish Officer of distinction in the service of Naples had been Rector of the College of Brindisi”
Boswell’s “Johnson” gives an extraordinary instance of the bravery of Carew at the siege of Tortona (though this appears to have taken place in 1155).
Hogan assumes the “Carew” of Thorpe and Boswell are identical.
