At the same time there was another Thomas Pomeroy, esq. son a cadet line of Robert of Smallridge Bockerel & Upottery. Thomas evidently planned ahead when in 1388 he married the twice widowed Joanna Chudleigh, the heiress to the barony with her sister Margaret Cole when their brother Sir John. Thomas Pomeroy Esq who was knighted by the king in 1400 &he his wife Joanna successfully persuaded the king to set aside Sir Johns heir & give them the Barony. However having usurped the title to themselves they failed to produce a living heir when Joanna died in 1423. Thus when Thomas died in 1426 the title reverted to its rightful heir.
