Collaton Pedigree

799M-0/F/1 1495 DRO Contents:Grant to Richard Pomeray by Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond ( mother of King Henry VII) of the wardship and marriage of James Pomeray son of Andrew Pomeray deceased

JAMES /Jacob older brother to John his heir - sons of Andrew Pomeroy * record 1495  but this s Andrew the Elder is not Andrew senior of Callaton manor.He died  in 1581

This Andrew was dead by 1495. His son James was dead  19 years later  in 1514 .IF it is the same James and there are no others in the records. I have his will with considerable estates in North Devon and close to Exmoor.  James would have been between the age of 30 & 40 when he died and therefore may have married but without heirs other than his brother John.

She may have been Elizabeth daughter of Ellys Pomeroy of a place near Newton Ferrers buried 8 Feb 1604 at nearby Battisborough

 Might she be Elizabeth Bonython the widow of Henry of Tregony dissolute MP & Mayor who was almost 20 years her senior, and who died intestate in 1624 in Tregony  ?

        Henry  died intestate, probably towards the end of 1624. Administration of his estate, estimated for probate purposes at £1,000, was granted to his widow on 18 Jan. 1625.

       On the death of his childless eldest son Hugh in 1674, the Cornish branch of the family was extinguished, its remaining property passing to a distant cousin, Roger Pomeroy

Trying to establish where this John Pomeroy connects to the main armorial line is difficult without precise dates .

However by taking it generation by generation from the marriage of Richard Leigh son of Mary daughter of the first Andrew , this seems to me that it is likely that John was the brother recorded in the Visitations of the Pomeroys as ’being mentioned in his brother’s will’;
