Moulton Sr., passed away April 3, 2022, at the Maine Veterans' Home, Bangor. She was born July 19, 1934, in Northeast Harbor on Mount Desert Island, the daughter of Eric and Hazel (Arno) Fennelly. Alice proudly served with the U.S. Army; she did her boot camp at Fort Lee where she was number one in her class for marksmanship. She also took X-ray technician classes while stationed in Colorado. She worked for the Town of Sangerville for over 20 years, finishing her career as Town Clerk. Alice acted as Interim Town Manager during a lengthy search process for no additional compensation. Alice was very proud to be a founding member of the Sangerville Historical Society and also served as Secretary. She enjoyed birds and was always tending to her feeders and birdhouses. Alice had a soft heart and loved all animals and often would rescue strays. Alice was quite artistic and loved to paint with both oils and acrylics. Alice is survived by three sons, Russell Jr., Jeffrey and his wife, Becky, and Brent; two grandsons, Alan and his wife, Brynn, and Jeremy; one great-grandson, Caleb; two brothers, David Fennelly and Keith Fennelly and his wife, Linda; and several nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Sir Thomas Grey of Horton is second husband of Dorothy Ogle - their children are offered at http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/ThomasGreyofHorton.htm which reports:
"Born by 1515, first surviving son of Sir Roger Grey of Horton by Isabel, daughter of Sir William Darcy. Married 1527/1531, Dorothy, daughter of Ralph, 3rd Lord Ogle, widow of Sir Thomas Forster of Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland. Succeeded father 6 Jan 1543. Knighted 23 Sep 1545. Member of Parliament for Northumberland Oct 1553, Nov 1554, 1559. Yeoman? of the guard bef. Dec 1531; Justice of the Peace, Northumberland 1547-1554; treasurer, Berwick-upon-Tweed Jun 1547-Feb 1550; sheriff, Northumberland 1547-1548, 1551-1552, Nov or Dec 1558; constable and receiver, Dunstanburgh Jun 1550, steward May 1555-death; commissioner goods of churches and fraternaties, Northumberland 1553.
"The first certain reference found to him is his appointment in 1536 as deputy to his maternal uncle Thomas Lord Darcy, keeper of Bamburgh Castle, which lies within ten miles of Horton. After Darcy's execution in the following year Grey petitioned Cromwell for the keepership: he was passed over, but one of the lists recording the new appointment bears a note 'to remember Thomas Grey', and in the same year he was appointed one of the officers of the east march at a salary of 20 pounds per year. His career might have come to an abrupt end when in May 1538 he and his uncle Lionel, porter of Berwick, were arrested on Cromwell's orders by the captain of Berwick, Sir Thomas Clifford. Cromwell evidently dismissed the charges as groundless. ABT the same time Thomas Grey was one of those appointed to bring ten men to help put down a threatened revolt by the men of Tynedale.
"In the Scottish campaign of 1542 Grey commanded 100 men and in the following winter he had charge of the night watch at Horton. He took part both in the burning of Jedburgh in Jun 1544 and in the defeat of the simultaneous Scottish raid into Northumberland. The relationship thus established with Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford, who commanded in the north, was to serve Grey well during the next few years. It was from Hertford that he received his knighthood at Norham in Sep 1545, on his return from another foray into Scotland, and Hertford's assumption of the Protectorate in 1547 was followed by Grey's appointment as treasurer of Berwick and paymaster of the pensioners in the marches.
"The fall of the Protector cost Grey the treasurership of Berwick, which went to Richard Bunny, but this was partially offset in Jun 1550 by a grant of the constableship of Dunstanburgh, a coastal fortress south of Bamburgh, and of a 21-year lease of the site and possessions of the monastery of Newminster, Northumberland: the property, which included coal-bearing land, was leased to Grey in consideration of services 'previously rendered'. His own interest in the consolidation of the family's possessions was reflected in the settlement of his lands, after his only son had died in infancy, on whichever of his daughters should marry his kinsman Sir Ralph Grey of Wark and Chillingham: it was his eldest daughter Isabel who did so.
"In Apr 1554 the Council exhorted him and other Northumbrian gentlemen 'to show themselves more forward in service than they have erst done whereby they shall well redub (repair) their former slackness', and in Sep 1556 and Aug 1557 he was summonded before the Council: on the last occasion, having professed himself 'very willing to serve' Queen Mary, he was commissioned to carry a 'mass of treasure' to the north, where he offered to serve against the Scots without pay. He had, on the other hand, won the regard of both John Conyers, 3rd Baron Conyers, and Thomas Wharton, 1st Baron Wharton, who intervened on his behalf when he was called before the council in the north in 1554 and 1556. Although Strype was to describe Grey as 'one of the best reputation in the parts adjoining Scotland' it is doubtful whether he diverged markedly for the Catholicism of his neighbors: when he and Cuthbert Horsley were returned to Parliament in Oct 1554 the sheriff described them on the indenture as 'two of the grave and Catholic persons (within) the said county', and Grey'S associates and kinsman were noted for their religious conservatism.
"He died at Bethal Green, Middlesex, on 5 Aug 1570."
Cf. "The Visitation of Yorkshire in the Years 1563 and 1564," (London: Harleian Society, 1881), p. 150.

The younger daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, Princess Margaret was born at Glamis, the Scottish home of her grandparents, the Earl and Countess of Strathmore, on 21 August 1930, and was christened Margaret Rose.
Education and childhood: The Princess was educated at home with her sister, The Queen. She learned to ride, enjoyed swimming and became a keen gardener. In 1937 she joined the Brownies, and when she was old enough enlisted in the Girl Guides. She has always maintained close links with Guiding, and now serves as President and Chairman of the Council of the Girl Guides Association. When she was five years old The Princess attended the Jubilee of her grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary. Less than two years later came her second great State occasion, her parents' coronation in Westminster Abbey. Princess Margaret began to carry out public engagements at a very young age; one early appointment was as Patron of the Scottish Children's League (becoming President in 1966). In 1947 she accompanied the King and Queen and Princess Elizabeth on their South African tour.
Activities and interests: Since then The Princess has taken a full share in the Royal family's many public activities. Her particular interest is in the broad field of welfare work. Many of the 80-plus organisations of which she is Patron or President are concerned with activities for youngpeople, children's well-being and caring for sick people. She is President of the National Society and of the Royal Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, Grand President of the St John Ambulance and Colonel-in-Chief of Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps.
In the arts, music and ballet are two of Princess Margaret's great enthusiasms. In 1957, the same year that she was made an Honorary Doctor of Music of London University, she became the first President of the Royal Ballet, The Queen serving as Patron; she was also President of the Sadler's Wells Foundation. Princess Margaret has undertaken numerous overseas visits. She has represented The Queen on many important occasions, and has opened British fairs and trade weeks, as well as making other less formal visits.
Marriage and family: In February 1960 The Queen announced her consent to the engagement of Princess Margaret to Mr Antony Armstrong-Jones, and they were married in Westminster Abbey on 6 May. In October of the same year Mr Armstrong-Jones was created Earl of Snowdon and Viscount Linley. They had two children. Their son, Lord Linley, was born on 3 November 1961 and christened David Albert Charles; their daughter, Lady Sarah Frances Elizabeth, was born on 1 May 1964. The marriage of The Princess to Lord Snowdon was dissolved in May 1978.
Honours: Princess Margaret is Honorary Fellow of several learned societies, has received Honorary Doctorates from the Universities of Cambridge and Keele, and is a Master of the Bench of Lincoln's Inn. She also serves as Colonel-in-Chief of a number of military units, including the Highland Fusiliers of Canada.
