Actually, Thomas (1336-1384) was the 4th Baron, and William (1368-1414) was the 6th.  See the second edition of Cokayne's *Complete Peerage*, vol. XI, p. 95, note (h), referring to the summons of Robert (d. 1285), whom you are probably calling the first Baron, to Montfort's 1264 Parliament: "In 1616 the Barony was allowed precedence from this writ, a decision accepted by the Lords in 1806 ... ; but these writs, issued by
Simon in the King's name, are no longer regarded as valid for the creation of peerages."  The Ros Barony is now dated from the summons of William de Ros (d. 1316) in 1299.
