Forefather, e.g. (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ancestor

(Other definitions for ancestor that I've seen before include "Forefather" , "one is up a tree" , "Old member of the family -no traces (anag)" , "not being of the modern generation" , "Predecessor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
