Given that Thomas Pomeroy is supposed to have married the twice widowded Johanna in Berry Pomeroy,
it seems reasonable to suppose that she and Phillip de Bryan could have been living at a de Bryan property possibly at their foundational property in Torbryan

John St Aubyn the son of Johanna Chudlegh by Sir John St Aubyn married Margaret Challons & had 2 daughters. Joanna who age 17 in 1428 was married to Otto Bodrugan
2nd daughter Margaret who, age 13 , they married her to Reginald Tretherff in 1428 ( source Visitations )
After St Aubyns death in 1383 Joanna married Sir Phillip de Bryan in 1386 but he died in Feb 1387
There is a amazingly comprehensive family history here on the Sutton Poyntz village website.
Johanna Chudleigh with her sister Margaret Cole were co-heir to the Pomeory Barony, but a females they could not become baron. In 1388 Joanna was betrothed to William Amyas but in November 1388 she made a hasty & 'illegal' marriage to Thomas Pomeroy Esq. Illegal because it was done without the Kings consent . Hasty in that with no licence and no banns plus they were not resident in the parish , the 'event' , apparently , was accomplished in the aisle of Berry Pomeroy church, rather than at the altar by he Vicar. He was admonished by the Bishop & Thomas was reproved and fined by the king, Richard II but then forgiven with a knighthood in 1400.
The haste makes me wonder if Johanna, a twice widowed and wealthy woman, was a willing bride to the ambitious & ruthless Thomas Esq
Thomas and Joanna had 1 child, a daughter Isabella, who died after her mother, who died in 1423, but before her father, Thomas
A very short while after Joanna' death in December 1423 he married Joanna Ralegh widow Whalesborough They went on a pilfgrange to Rome , and Thomas died in 1426.
