Lilias of Ross was the daughter of Hugh de Ross, 4th Earl of Ross.
Lilias married William de Urchard, Sheriff of Cromarty and had a son.
Adam de Urchard of Inchrory, Sheriff of Cromarty (b c1310, d c1385) who married Brigida Fleming (dau of Robert Fleming of Cumbernauld)
Lady Lilias de Ross died before William's second marriage, and his death in 1348.
Research Notes
Lilias's son, Adam was granted Inchrory in 1338, so he had to be of age. This calls into question Lilias's birthdate.
Disputed Parents
James Balfour Paul's Peerage of Scotland says no corroborative evidence has been found for Lillias, said to be married to William Urquhart, Sheriff of Cromartie, and the daughter of Hugh, fourth earl of Ross, and his second wife, Margaret, daughter of Sir David Graham of Old Montrose; Hugh and Margaret were married before 24 November 1329; Hugh's first wife was Lady Maud Bruce, sister of the King [of Scotland, Robert I], to whom he was married in 1308.[1]

Ross-8851 and Ross-1062 appear to represent the same person because: Sources don't show any daughter named Lilias to William, Earl of Ross, only to Hugh, Earl of Ross and that Lilias married William Urquhart, Sheriff of Cromarty. Dates are a guess, however sources are added to support Lilias's marriage and father's name.
