Jacobus filius Godofredi de Ross Senior, and Jacobus filius Godofredi de Ross Junior. These are two of the ancestors of the Rosses of Tarbet in Cunningham, the ancestors of the Lord Ross of Halkhead, who made a great figure in the wars that ensued on King John's abdication. Sir Godefride, the son, called filius, to distinguish him from his father, who was in action with him, were brave gallant men, and firm friends to King Robert, in whose reign he was a while Vicecomes de Air: Sir Godefride, a third of them, made a great figure under King David, whose brother, Sir John Ross, had a charter from Robert Earl of Strathern, his consanguineus, of the lands of Hacket, which lie in baronia de Renfrew, anno 1367. The elder branch failing in the reign of King James III. the two Houses of Tarbet and Halkhead came to unite and centre in one family; they attained to be Lords in 1500. Their lineal heir-male is George Lord Ross.

Discussion

Scots Peerage states, about John, 1st of Halkhead, “In 1367 he received a grant of the lands of Hacket or Halkhead, in the barony of Renfrew, from Robert, Earl of Strathearn, who styles himself ‘consanguineus,' or kinsman, to the grantee.” James Balfour Paul credits Nisbet's Heraldry, ii., Ragman Roll, 27, for this information. Unfortunately, Nisbet does not cite his source for this statement. A reference to the original document has not yet been located.
