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.
Joanna with her sister Margaret Cole were co-heir to the Pomeory Barony. 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 theBishop & Thomas was reproved and fined by the king, Richard II but then forgiven with a knighthood in 1400.
Thomas and Joanna had 1 child, a daughter Isabella, who died after her mother, who died in 1423, but before her father, Thomas
Thomas made a new 2nd marriage in a few months after Joannas in December 1423 death to Joanna Ralegh widow Whalesborough. Thomas died in 1426
