Arnage is a hamlet in Aberdeenshire, Scotland[1] and was part of a Barony that included "Adamshill, Towie, Ardquhadlies, Lammermuir, &c." The barony was held by Provost John Ross (1665- September 15, 1714)[2] who served as provost of Aberdeen. It was inherited by his son, also named John Ross (1707-1789)[3] The latter was referred to as the "deaf and dumb" laird. He had a son John Christian Ross who was granted land by British governor of East Florida Patrick Tonyn around Julianton Creek. He had two daughters with one of his slaves and emigrated to Dominica, sending their daughters to live with his father and aunt in Scotland. He died within the year and her fate and that of the daughters is unknown.[4]
The National Trust of Scotland's Fyvie Castle has portraits of both John Rosses.[2][3] John Ross of Arnage served as Provost of Aberdeen from 1710-1711. His House on Aberdeen's shiprow is now part of the Aberdeen Maritime Museum. He died on 15 September 1714 while on business in Amsterdam and was buried in the English Church there. His portrait may have been painted in 1685 by Sir John Medina (1659-1710). The paintings are owned by the National Trust for Scotland and were donated by the Leith-Ross family and previously hung in Leith Hall.[2]
John Ross Leith (John Leith-Ross of Arnage after he assumed his mother's surname) was a grandson of John Ross of Arnage, his daughter Martha's only child.[5] Canadian politician James Ross was his son. Family also served in India.
