Ross was the eldest son and heir of James Ross, 4th Lord Ross, who died on 2 April 1581, by Jean, daughter of Robert, 3rd Lord Sempill. The Rosses of Halkhead, or Hawkhead, in Renfrewshire, were a Lowland family, not apparently related to the Earls of Ross or the Highland family of Ross of Balnagown.[1]
Ross had sasines of the lands of Halkhead on 30 October 1581, of Broomlands and "Roisholm" on 15 May 1583 and of Tarbert, in Ayrshire, in 1590.
