[Untitled]

(This was the text of the aricle, I fixed a spelling error and added some line breaks while parsing it. I've moved it here since most of it is about hawkhead and not Paisley Hawkhead):

This is an extract from a history of Paisley written in about 1810. The text. He strongly advocated the Union of the Parliaments, and was chosen one of the Representative Peers in 1715, and appointed Lieutenant of Renfrewshire at the same time. He resided principally at Hawkhead, taking an active interest in county affairs, even when advanced in years; and he died at Hawkhead on 15th March 1738, in the eighty-second year of his age. His son George, thirteenth Lord Ros: was the father of Elizabeth, Countess of Glasgow, who made the latest alteration upon Hawkhead. She was born in 1725, married, in 1755, to John, third Earl of Glasgow, and succeeded to the estate of Hawkhead in the manner described. She died at London, on 9th October, 1791. Her son George, fourth Earl of Glasgow (nat. 176E ob. 1843), was Lord-Lieutenant of Renfrewshire in 1810, and was raised to the Peerage, of Great Britain in 1815, with the title of Baron Ross of Hawkhead. His son James fifth Earl of Glasgow, who was also Lord-Lieutenant of Renfrewshire, held the estate until his death in 1869, when he was succeeded by his brother, George Frederick, th. present Earl. In 1886 the estate was exposed to sale in lots, when Mr. Willian Stevenson, Quarrymaster in Glasgow, purchased the mansion house lot with the three farms lying to the south, and marching with his estate of Househill.

Lords Ross of Halkhead

It seemed to me that there were several errors and redundancies in the treatment of the Lords Ross and I have edited accordingly:

• The last Lord Ross, was not George, the 13th Lord, but his younger brother.
• The Earl of Glasgow did not assume the title of Lord Ross, but was created (anew) Baron Ross - a peerage of the UK, rather than Scotland.
• The Lords Ross each have their own individual articles, with considerably more detail; I think it is better to provide links to those articles, rather than to sprinkle into this article a few details about (apparently randomly chosen) individual Lords.
