(Research):The ancient family of Ross of Craigie, Perthshire, were hereditary governors of Spey castle in Perth, till the Reformation, when the keys of the fortress were surrendered, under protest, to the provost and council, by John Ross of Craigie. This gentleman, one of the chief favourites of King James V., was taken prisoner by the English at the rout of Solway. On the 11th September 1618, Mr. Thomas Ross, some time a minister, a son of the laird of Craigie, was executed at the Cross of Edinburgh, for that while studying at Oxford, he affixed upon the principal gate of one of the colleges a libel against his own countrymen in England, likening them to the seven lean kine of Egypt, and using many opprobrious terms against them. The vice-chancellor of Oxford sent him to the king, who ordered him down to Scotland. At his examination, he said that necessity drove him to it, that he might procure some benefit from the king. He confessed at his execution that he was a man of a proud spirit, but thought the punishment greater than the fault (Calderwood's Historie, vol. vii. P. 336.)

General Patrick Ross of Innernethie, descended from the Craigie line, by his wife Mary Clara Maule, related to the Panmure family, had, with other issue, Major-general Sir Patrick Ross, born 26th January 1778 (Database ID I173006 ). He entered the army in 1794, and served in India for nine years, as captain of the 22d light dragoons. During the Peninsular war, he was lieutenant-colonel of the 48th foot, and served in the Ionian islands for seven years as lieutenant-colonel of the 75th foot. After being resident and commandant of St. Maura and Zante, he served as major-general on the staff at Corfu, and in 1819 was created a knight grand commander of the order of St. Michael and St. George. He was afterwards governor and commander-in-chief of Antigua, Montserrat, and Barbuda, and on his return to England in 1834 he was made a knight commander of the royal order of the Guelphs of Hanover. In 1821 he attained the rank of major-general, and in 1846 was appointed governor of St. Helena.
