Biography

This profile is part of the Ogle Name Study.

Dorothy Ogle (b. 1488/90), was the daughter of:[1] living 09 Sep 1513.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

  • Ralph, 3rd Baron Ogle (b. abt.1468 - d. Jan 1513)[2]
  • Margaret Gascoigne (living 16 Jul 1516), dau. of Sir William Gascoigne and Margaret Percy.[2]

Veracity of Data

She is not the daughter of the 5th Baron,[8] but some state Dorothy married Thomas Forster in 1572[9] ... and went on to have 8 children by this first marriage.[10]

That's wrong...

Her dad died before the Battle of Flodden (09 Sep 1513).[5] So even if she was born that same year, it implies she suddenly started having kids at the ripe old (menopausal) age of 59.

Preposterous!

In any case, it's a good thing that the actions of her son Sir John Forster,[11] were well-documented. Although the year of his birth is unknown, it's been estimated around 1520 -- seven years before his father died.[11]

But more importantly, the battles he fought prove that there is NO WAY Dorothy married his father in 1572. For instance ... by November of 1542, John was engaged in the Battle of Solway Moss. And five years later, he was knighted.[11]

In any case, Ogle, (1902) is the authority for Ogle genealogy. He states there is no way Dorothy could be the daughter of Robert, 5th Baron Ogle, and that her father is Ralph, 3rd Baron Ogle[12]. Evidence for Thomas Grey is further supported in the [[Space: Will of Isabelle Gray |will]] of Dorothy's daughter, Dame Isabell Grey of Ogle Castle.[13]

Siblings

Marriage

She married twice.

Forster of Adderstone

m.1 (1503/5) Sir Thomas Forster of Etherstone, marshall of Berwick-upon-Tweed.[1] [7] [14] [15] Knt. [3] [10] [16] [17] (d.1527) [11]Issue: 8. [7] [18]

Grey of Horton

Some sources conflict when it comes to identifying Dorothy's second husband. Burke (1831), states he's John Grey of Horton,[3] while Parliament, and Ogle (1902) say he's Sir Thomas Grey of Horton (ante.1512 - 05 Aug 1570), who served as Marshall of Berwick.[4] But Burke (1833), later agrees that she married Thomas Grey of Horton,[20] so there was a publishing error at some point.

Dorothy does need a revision. I think the 19th century error that messes up the timeline seems mainly attributed to an error filled work, which was repeated by at least 1 other. ... I need time to find/key in data.

Another error that crops up on occasion is that mom was a Skargill. Incorrect. The 3rd baron's wife was a GASCOIGNE.

Also... check out a recent article on Dorothy Ogle, published in T.O.G., 2016, v. 37. This article does est. her DOB c. 1488.
