About Andrew Ross, 1st of Balblair
Not the husband of Mary Fraser of Lovat
Andrew Ross became First Laird of Balblair. Balblair in 1666 belonged to James Dallas of Balblair and Grissel Ross his spouse. In a letter of 1764 Ross of Balblair is described as "Cadet of the decayed house of Balmachy" [meaning a line other than the senior line of descent. Thanks to Edwin Holcombe, Columbia, SC for this clarification]. Mr. Reid's book says that Andrew, son of George "very probably became Andrew First of Balblair. The letter referred to is said to be still in existence and it is believed that no doubt exists at all as to the line of descent. In fact the letter was written by Hugh Ross, a descendant of the Balmachy family to Mr. John Ross of Philadelphia, a son of the Reverend George Ross.
This Andrew, First of Balblair had a son:
- David Ross, Second Laird of Balblair. Notary in the Parish of Fern, 1678. Married Margaret Stronach about July 8, 1681. Died about April 13, 1710. They had three sons and one daughter.
- Rossiana; papers and documents relating to the history and genealogy of the ancient and noble house of Ross, of Ross-shire, Scotland, and its descent form the ancient earls of Ross, together with the descent of the ancient and historic family of Read, from Rede of Trough-end, Reade of Barton Court, Berks, and Read of Delaware. Also some account of the related families. By Read, Harmon Pumpelly, 1860- [from old catalog]; Reid, Francis Nevile, 1826-1892 Archive.Org Rossiana, page 43 "199."
