==Early life==
Ross was born in Rostrevor, County Down, Ireland, to Major David Ross, an officer in the Seven Years' War and his mother, half-sister to the Earl of Charlemont.
He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, where he was a treasurer of its College Historical Society and joined the 25th Regiment of Foot as an ensign in 1789.〔(Guide to the Robert Ross Papers, 1813-1873 ), Special Collections Research Center, Estelle and Melvin Gelman Library, The George Washington University〕
