Living Descendents, "Duncan" (which is in Volume II) erroneously gives Maud
Grey, (wife of Sir Robert Ogle, Knt) as dau to Alice de Neville and Sir Thomas
Grey. This could not be correct for chronological reasons. Maud mar abt
1399, and the Sir Thomas Grey who married Alice de Neville was not born until Nov
1384, which would only allow him to be 14 at his alledged daughter's wedding.

Leo's great web site here
http://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00108554&tree=LEO

gives Maud as a daughter to Sir Thomas Grey and Joan de Mowbray, that is,
one generation earlier. This chronology works. Leo cites Living Decendents Vol
III as his source so I'm assuming they corrected this Volume II error in the
next volume, that is in Volume III as Leo cites.

Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr., after reviewing various commentaries pro and con,
had assigned Maud Gray (wife of Robert Ogle) as daughter of Sir Thomas Gray
and Alice Neville in his article "The Wetherill-Watson Royal Ancestry", New
England Historical and Genealogical Register, vol. 104, 1950. But he
submitted a note a half a year later (vol. 105, 1951, p. 155) saying that
Donald Lines Jacobus had called his attention to a chronological problem
with this parentage and that the identification of Maud Gray as a daughter
of Sir Thomas Gray and Joan de Mowbray "must be accepted in its stead."
