He was educated at Westminster School (1731–1738) and St John's College (1738).[3]

Parliament

Carteret in April 1744 tried to become the candidate for Cornwall, but was unsuccessful. He instead would run to be the Member of Parliament for Yarmouth during a by-election in 1744, he would not run for re-election after his term.[1]

Marriage

He married a French woman named Elizabeth (died 1766); however, they did not have any issue.[4]

Americas

Carteret, due to his inheritance from his father and his Royalist great-great-grandfather Sir George Carteret, owned vast territories in the Province of Carolina. After the outbreak of rebellion, Carteret would refuse to sell the land. After his death in 1776 his nephew Henry Carteret, 1st Baron Carteret would inherit the land; however, as a result of the American Revolutionary War, all land of those who supported the British was seized by the Americans. The British government would give partial compensation for the lost land.[5]
