read, in particular, about Hugh Ross, 1st of Ba;nagown: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Ross#15th_century_and_clan_confl... "Hugh Ross of Rariches (1st of Balnagown), who was granted a charter, in 1374, for the lands of Balnagowan.[6] The earldom of Ross passed through a female line, and that later led to dispute between two rival claimants"

This passing of title through the female line might complicate understanding of the Ross family tree
