Notes about Alexander Ross 9th Laird of Balnagowan

http://thebookofross.com/chiefs.php

Alexander Ross, ninth Chief of Clan Ross, was first married to Janet, daughter of Earl John of Caithness, by whom he had children: (1) Robert; (2) Hector; (3) George, who became tenth of Balnagowan; (4) Katherine; (5) Agnes, who married Duncan Campbell of Boath; and (6) Christian, who married Kenneth MacKenzie, third of Dochmaluack.   By his second wife, who is not identified, Alexander had two more children: (1) Nicholas, who became first of Pitcalnie; and (2) Malcolm, who died childless.

This Laird and Clan Chief was one of the most powerful, and one of the most unscrupulous, men in Ross.   He was confined in the Castle of Tantallon for his avowed opposition to King James VI, but was later returned to freedom.   He was an active raider of surrounding lands, and was considered a "cheater" because he took full advantage of the most modern military equipment of the day--eighteen-pound cannon and coats of mail.   He conducted numerous under-the-table dealings with Nicholas Ross, Abbot of Fearn, in acquiring abbey lands.
