Petty officer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yeoman

'petty officer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for yeoman that I've seen before include "Historical freeholder" , "Former royal servant" , "Farming freeholder of old" , "Old English soldier or small farmer" , "Independent smallholder" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
