Devon Record Office 3799M-0/F/1 1495 A Grant to Richard Pomeray by Margaret, Countess of Richmond of the wardship and marriage of James Pomeray son of Andrew Pomeray deceased-
This is the mother of King Henry VII who took the throne in 1485 handing out a wardship -
This might be Richard Pomeroy of Totnes & his wife Eleanor Coker. He was a merchant & man of business son of Agnes Kelloway wife of Sir Thomas brother of the baron whose 2nd wife in 1544 was Ann Wykes widow of Thomas Artur of Clapton in Gordano near Bristol
OR its Sir Richard, Baron Pomeroy. The former seems most likely because Richard given the appellation of Knight here.

Messuage at Collaton, in Newton Ferrers Date: 26 June 1514
James /latinised from Jacob - & his brother John were sons of an unrecorded Andrew Pomeroy who died in 1495. They were very young when he died , born 1490 & 1492 and Richard Pomeroy took wardship of the older boy James at that time
1514. John Pomeroy, brother and heir of Jacob Pomeroy...
James was a soldier who died in France in 1514 his heir brother John inherited Collaton Manor and died 1518. There is an IPM for James Pomeroy dated 1514.
The wardship of James would have been bought from the crown, soon after the death of Andrew , to protect the child and to keep his inheritance safe until James was of age and to get control of any property or inheritance and to arrange the marriage of the boy to family advantage.
This Andrew I have dubbed Andrew the elder - as opposed to Andrew senior his grandson and great grandson Andrew junior.
AJP discovered this record Feb 2024 which shows that Andrew the elder was son of Nicholas who died in 1479 a younger brother to Sir Richard Baron Pomeroy who died in 1495 & born to a 1st wife ; the 2nd wife Agnes surviving Nicholas to marry again.

RESEARCH NOTES & QUERRIES
John Pomeroy of Collaton son of Andrew senior married Mary Slanning daughter of John Slanning and sister of Nicholas Slanning of Plympton St Mary
Jan 2015 I found these entries for children not mentioned in Visitations in the images of parish record in FMP
In Newton Ferrers -register
a baptism WILLIAM, son of William Pomry, bp 28 March 1607.
a burial Margerie ye daughter of William Pemry buried 9th day of October 1601
the burial of Elizabeth dau of Ellys Pemry in 1602
Then there was a stray in Newton Ferrers buried there- POMEROY Elizabeth, gentlewoman buried. 11 Mar 1629
The 2nd son of Andrew Pomeroy of Collaton and his wife Anne Matthews was John.
After their father died and William , the heir inherited under the principal of 'primogenitor' or eldest gets everything , the 2nd son, John , with little or no money became a servant of some kind in the Slanning household at Maristow.
There he caused uproar when he fell in love with Maria /Mary the sister of Nicholas Slanning .To make himself worthy of her John 'acquired' the title deeds to the Collaton Barton farm and by various manipulations got big brother William to inveigle Slannings permission to marry Maria.
With children found in Newton Ferrers but I have not done any research because I lacked a clear idea of where they might have lived.
Plympton is a possibility. She died in 1618 in Plympton St Mary-

John Pomeroy "of St Kew" 1618 transcription by David Bethel
& contributed by AML
Vivian tells us he died in Ireland...
It seems this will was made when he was in 'perfect health' which suggestshe might be going on a journey - possibly to Ireland .
...In the name of God, Amen. The Sixteenth daye of June in the yeare of or Lorde god, One thowsande sixe hundred & eighteene,
I John Pomeroy of the parish of St. Kewe, in the County of Cornewall gentleman of perfect health, and of good and perfect memory (God be praysed) doe make and ordaine this my last will and testament in manner and forme followinge.
First I coímende my Soule into the hands of god my Maker, hopinge assuredly through the onely meritts of Jesus Christe my savior, to be made partaker of lyfe everlastinge And I comend my Bodie to the Earth whereof it is made.
Item I give, graunte, beqieath and devise, to William Pomeroye, the sonne of Andrewe Pomeroye Esquier, my brother, a Chattell lease of a Tenement, wth his apptenances called Bellowsacke, wch I had, and obteyned of Elizabeth Megges Widdowe deceased, lyinge and beinge wthin the parish of Mawgan Maneage, in the foresaide Countie of Cornewall, To have and to houlde the foresaide Tenement wth his appurtenances vnto the said William Pomeroye his Executors, Administrators, and assignes, duringe the time and terme conteyned and expressed in the said Lease.
Item I give & bequeath vnto Jane Cavell the wife of William Cavell of St. Kewe Esquier my sister Forty poundes of lawfull English money.
Item I give and bequeath to Marye Vivian, the wife of John Vivian of the parish of St Columbe the higher, gentleman Twenty pounds of lawfull moneyes of Englande.
Item I give and bequeath to Joane Cavell, the daughter of the foresaide William Cavell, Twenty poundes of lawfull English money.
Item I give and bequeath vnto Anne Pomeroy, daughter of the foresaid Andrewe Pomeroy & the some of+ Twenty poundes of lawfull Englishe money +

Item I give and bequeath vnto Mathewe Pomeroy, sonne of Ellis (Edward) Pomeroy deceased, Tenne pounds of lawfull Englishe money, The residue of all my goods and Chattels, not given or bequeathed,
I give & bequeath to Andrewe Pomeroy, my brother, whome I make my whole and sole Executor of this my last will and testament. In witnesse whereof, I haue hearunto putt my hande and seale. John Pomeroy. Read perused, and after sealed by the above named John Pomeroy, in presence of us. Pascawe Vivian. Pascawe Vivian Junior. Richarde Vivian.
Probate aforesaid Testament was proved at London by the venerable man Johanne Benet Milite, Doctor of Laws of the Curia Prerogative of Cantuar, the Great Custodian or Commissary appointed on the twelfth day of the month of May, in the year of the year one thousand six hundred and nineteen. By the oath of Andrew Pomeroy, the brother of the said deceased, and the Executor named in the same will, to whom was committed the administration of all and every property of the said Jurors and Creditors of the said deceased.
Could it be that 2 Andrews are mention in this will
one the father of Ann & Francys who is his nephew
There is only one William in the Visitations version of this tree & William is son of Andrew who died d 1518 & father of John
AJP note Mary Pomeroy another sister who married William Leigh is not included
John was apparently never married or at least had no wife living when he died .
There is NO suggestion that he owned property in Ireland. However, it is a good question; nowhere in this will are we given the idea that he died in Ireland.
He was "Of St Kew."
His property called Bellowsacke was in the parish of Mawgan in Maneeage, County Cornwall.
this is Bonnalack Barton on the north side of Helford estuary close to Gweek
Bonallack is an estate and former barton in the civil parish of Constantine, Cornwall. The estate is named after the Banethlek family and is on the northern bank of the Helford River.
Bonallack passed into the Jerveys family through marriage in the early 14th-century and to the Grylls family in 1671, when Elizabeth Bonalack married Charles Grylls 1671
The present house is relatively modern having been built in the C19th
SHOULD THE COLLATON PEDIGREE ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE THIS
FORSTER
Edward eldest son of Andrew
married Julain Forster
married Julain Forster
& had one son
Matthew who died in 1634 ( IPM)
The Forsters show that they were for a long time seised of an estate in fee in Stoke Gifford, otherwise called Little Stoke in right of Sybil Forster, and were seised until Berkeley forcibly and riotously disseised them and ousted their farmers and occupiers wrongfully and without any just cause, and still occupies the same, and they can have no speedy remedy by the law of the land considering that Berkeley is of such great might in the county, and the petitioners do not reside in that county.
The Forsters request that letters missive be directed to Berkeley commanding him to appear before the prince's council at a certain day to answer the complaints, and to show his title if he has any, and if he fails to do so that further action be directed to be made as is thought right for the speedy relief of the petitioners.
Places mentioned: Stoke Gifford, Gloucestershire; Little Stoke, Glos; Uley, Glos
Humphrey Forster, esq.; Sybil Forster, wife of Humphrey Forster, and widow of Robert Poyntz, esquire

A2A record 1605 gives a date for the death of Digory Hext However his father's will of 1595 was probated in 1600 & tells that he dead before Probate was completed.
Digory Hext, was father of Jane Hext Pomeroy , died in 1600 whilst Mayor of Launceston & before her 1601 marriage to Andrew Pomerey
