Biography

Martha (Ross) Ross Lady Foulis is a member of Clan Ross.

Martha (Ross) Ross Lady Foulis is a member of Clan Munro.

Although the creator of this profile named her Martha, there is some doubt as to her Christian name. She is said to have been the daughter of William Ross, 3rd Earl of Ross. If she was born as late as 1310 then it is improbable that she was also the daughter of William's wife and may therefore have been his natural daughter.
