Hawkhead was a large mansion house situated a few yards from what is now Ben Lawers Drive in the modern housing estate of the same name to the south east of Paisley
Hawkhead (Halkhead) estate was originally owned by the Royal Stewarts and acquired in 1367 from the future King Robert lI, then Earl of Strathern by Sir John Ross for an annual payment of a pair of gloves, or two pennies of silver, to the King. The original name of the family was the 'de Ros ' (from Normandy) which was changed to the Scottish 'Ross' in 1489 when Sir John Ros was inserted among the Barons of Parliament as Lord Ross of Hawkhead .
This was the famous John 'Palm My Arm' Ross who lies at Renfrew Parish Church with his wife Marjory Mure.

Little is known of the detail of his parents. Balfour Paul presumes him to be a son of a Johannes de Ross who, in 1392 and 1397, appears as miles, dominus de Halkhead, (knight, Lord of Halkhead), on 28 October 1405 as Johannes de Ross de Haukheid miles, and under the same designation on 13 October 1409.
His date of birth is not provided in source and his mother is unknown. His father was still alive in Dec 1413 and there is no record of succession. However the John of this profile appears on the record as "Jon Rosse de Haukede" on 6 Aug 1447, suggesting he succeeded shortly before. He was appointed heritable constable of the castle of Renfrew.
Source records also provide that his son, Sir John Ross of Halkhead was of age when he appears in tournaments in Feb 1449 (New Calendar), suggesting that he, the son, was born c. 1420. Thus it might be expected that the John, of this profile, was born c. 1395.
His death is not recorded in source but his son appears as Lord of Halkhead in 1451 and it is presumed he died shortly before.
