Career
He was elected Vice-President of Pennsylvania (a position equivalent to that of Lieutenant Governor) on 5 November 1788. He was reelected unanimously on 11 November 1789 and served until 21 December 1790. He was the last man to hold that office, as the Vice-Presidency (along with the rest of the Supreme Executive Council) was dissolved by the 1790 State Constitution.
Although the length of his term is comparable to—or exceeds—that of several other Presidents and Vice-Presidents of Pennsylvania very little is known about Ross beyond the dates of his service.
