Maud Gray was the daughter of Thomas Gray and Joan Mowbray.[1][2][3][4] She was born probably about 1385 (parents married before 1384;[5] she married about 21 May 1399; husband born 1380-86).[1]
Her husband died in mid-August 1436, and on 8 November that year, she was assigned her dower before her son Robert, styled son and heir of Maud's husband, Sir Robert Ogle.[16]
She had the use for her life 14 messuages and 200 acres of land in Longworton.[7]
Maud was living 22 August 1451 and probably still living in 1453/4.[1][6]
Research Notes
Visitation and Pedigree Errors
Several Visitations and pedigrees give a variety of parents for Maud,[7][17][18][19][20] but on 21 May 1399, Thomas Gray, lord of Werk, granted "to Robert de Ogle, son and heir of sir Robert de Ogle, and to Maud his daughter, wife of the said Robert … lands called Sammesland in Lowyke…."[4]
Unnamed Daughters
Henry Ogle suggests the three unnamed daughters may be Agnes, Jennet, and Anne, but who was the wife of which husband is unknown.[14]
