Notes |
- "According to R. J. Adam in his THE CALENDAR OF FEARN: TEXT ANDADDITIONS, 1471-1667, published by the Scottish History Society in 1991,at 87, 93-94, Helen was a daughter of Gilbert Keith of Inverugy and shemarried David Ross, 7th of Balnagown. John Ross, 5th of Balnagown,resigned Balnagown in 1488, "in association with Gilbert Keith," to hisgrandson David Ross. In 1490, John Ross resigned all his lands to thecrown for regrant to David, and Easter Rarechie and Cullisse wereseparately granted to David and Helen Keith, showing that the granteeswere married in or before 1490. R. J. Adam says that it appears thatJohn had made over the fee of Balnagown to his son Alexander Ross, 6th ofBalnagown, before the latter's untimely death at Aldecharwis in 1487,making it necessary to quickly arrange a protective marriage for David.Helen was probably born no earlier than 1470, meaning that she wasclearly a child of Gilbert's marriage to Janet Graham. THE CALENDAR OFFEARN records Helen's death in May 1520. Through her marriage to SirDavid Ross, Helen became an ancestor of the subsquent lairds of Balnagownas well as of the Rosses of Tollie/Achnacloich."
