Amica de Camville wife of the 7th Henry Pomeroy holding Stockleigh Pomeroy as dower  in 1328.
they had 1 son of record 

According to Visitations when 7th Henry died his son Henry was 14  &  inherited the barony on 27 Sept  1305 .
here the dates seem awry ?????
Did William Martin get custody of the manors of Pomeroy before the baron was dead ???
Amica married again after Mar 1306

William Martin married twice. Before 1 January 1282 he married Eleanor FitzReynold, daughter of Sir Reginald FitzPeter, Sheriff of Hampshire, Constable of Winchester Castle and Alice, and widow of John de Mohun.[1][2][3] They had the following children:

• Edmund, who died without issue in his father's lifetime[1][2]

• William, 2nd Lord Martin[1][2][3]

• Eleanor, who married William de Hastings and Philip de Columbers[1][2]

• Joan, who married Henry de Lacy and Nicholas de Audley[1][2]

For March 1306 there is a record of a debt to William and his first wife, so Eleanor presumably died after that.[1][2]

William's second wife was Amicia de Camville, widow of Henry de Pomeroy and daughter of his mother's second husband Geoffrey de Camville by his first wife.[1][2] No children of this marriage are known. On 16 August 1305 William had been granted custody of the lands and marriages of the heirs of Henry de Pomeroy during their minority.[6]

Visitations tells us that Amica  widow of Henry Pomeroy held the dower of Stockleigh Pomeroy in 1328

Interestingly enough Amica de Camvilles pedigree goes back to Wales &  Gruffydd ap Rhys abt 1148 - abt 25 Jul 1201 &  wife Maud Braose  Dec 1210

 as does William Martins pedigree - they were distant cousins

WILLIAM MARTIN Bio

Birth

William Martin was the son of Nicholas Martin and Maud de Brienne. He was said to be 25 when his paternal grandfather Nicholas Martin died in early 1282, pointing to a birth date of about 1257.[1][2][3]

Lands

In 1282 William inherited the Barony of Blagdon, Somerset on the death of his paternal grandfather Nicholas Martin. On 6 OCT 1310, Henry de Lacy, earl of Lincoln, acknowledged the manors of Blagdon (in Somerset), Langacre (in Broad Clyst), Upexe (in Rewe), and Holne (in Devon), to be the right of William Martin.[4]

In 1308 he inherited the barony of Barnstaple, Devon on the death of Geoffrey de Camville, his mother's second husband.[5] These baronies gave him extensive lands in Somerset and Devon, and he also held lands in Pembrokeshire.[1][2]

Life

William served often in military campaigns, against the Welsh and Scots and in Gascony and elsewhere in France.[1][2][3] Among the battles he took part in was the 1298 Battle of Falkirk.[1][2]

In April 1298 he was given wardships and marriages to the value of over £500 to compensate him for his losses in a sea storm on his way back from Flanders: horses, armour and other articles had been lost off Sandwich, Kent.[3][7] On 7 June 1298 orders were given to investigate a complaint by William that his armour and goods had fallen into the hands of others (a long list of names is given) and to have them restored to William.[8]

He was summoned by name to Parliament from June 1295 to 1324, and is therefore held to have become Lord Martin. He was summoned to attend the coronation of Edward II in February 1308.[1][2][3]

William's positions included:[3]

• from 1298: commissioner of oyer and terminer for Devon

• 1304: one of the commissioners to negotiate with the Scots

• 1305: one of the justices of trailbaston, an itinerant judicial commission

• December 1307 and again in 1314: keeper of the peace in Devon

• 1310: one of the 15 Lords Ordainer chosen to draw up ordinances for the reform of the household and governance of Edward II

• 1315: Justice of West and South Wales

• 1315-1316: keeper of Carmarthen Castle and other royal castles in Wales

Sir Guy de Bryan   Knight of the Garter  of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Walwyn's Castle, Pembrokeshire, of  Northam, Slapton, and Torbrian,in South Devon  Seneschal of Pembroke. 

• 1318: member of the royal council

• 1321: keeper of the peace in Gower

In 1321 William was ordered, along with Hugh de Courtenay, to counter any uprising against Edward II in Devon and Cornwall. He was clearly regarded as on the king's side during the rebellion of Thomas of Lancaster: in February 1322 he was ordered to lead troops to Coventry to resist Thomas.[3]

Death

William died before 8 October 1324,[1][2] when a writ was issued to the escheator.[3][9] His second wife survived him: her will was dated 5 February 1338/9 and proved in 16 February 1339/40.[1][2][10]

Local History
Slapton Church in Devon, close to STOKENHAM &  Dartmouth . It has several memorial windows - One to Sir John St Aubyn ,  suggesting that Joanna Chudleigh, then wife of Sir John St Aubyn who died in 1385 , might have been in residence to marry Sir Phillip de Bryn in 1386 and still there in Slapton  or nearby after Phillip died in January 1387 . About 9 months  later before Oct but before the required year was out in 1388 she  married Thomas Pomeroy Esq 15 miles or so away at Berry Pomeroy to which she was co-heir.
This might account for the surruptious nature of her wedding 1388 in the aisle of the church at Beri before the year of mourning was up - In doing so she  & Thomas would  forfit her de Bryan dower properties although as Pomeroy co-heir she was well provided for & still and atractive prospect for the ambitious & probably impoverished Thomas Esq.!

Guy de Bryan the brother of Joanna's husband was buried at Slapton in 1386 the year  that she married Phillip
