== Research notes ==
* The letter dated 8 Mar 1772 refers only to a schoolmaster Mr. Ross. It does not specify that Mr. Ross was the schoolmaster in Farr Parish. It does discuss the fox hunting in Farr Parish, so it is an assumption, at this point, that this Mr. Ross is the same man as Patrick Ross, schoolmaster in Farr Parish. A copy of the letter has not yet been obtained from the [[NRS]].
* Farr Parish did not record births until 1790 and marriages until 1801.{{sfn|Great Britain|1872|p=[https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/files/research/list-of-oprs/detailed-list-of-old-parochial-registers-of-scotland.pdf#page=7 6]}}
