Thomas Erskine, 1st Baron Erskine
Thomas Erskine, 1st Baron Erskine (10 January 1750 – 17 November 1823) was a British lawyer and politician. He served as Lord Chancellor of the United Kingdom between 1806 and 1807 in the Ministry of All the Talents.
==Background and childhood==
Erskine was the third and youngest surviving son of Henry Erskine, 10th Earl of Buchan, and was born in a tenement at the head of South Grays Close on the High Street in Edinburgh. His older brothers were David (Lord Cardross and later the 11th Earl of Buchan) and Henry (later Lord Advocate of Scotland). His mother, Agnes Steuart, was the daughter of a solicitor general for Scotland and undertook much of her children's education as the family, though noble, were not rich.〔Stryker 1949: 3〕 The family moved to St Andrews, where they could live more cheaply, and Erskine attended the grammar school there.〔Hostettler 1996: 5〕 The family's money having been spent on the education of his older brothers, Erskine, aged fourteen, reluctantly abandoned his formal education for the time being and went to sea as a midshipman. His family meanwhile moved to Bath to become members of the Methodist community headed by Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. One of Erskine's sisters, Anne Agnes, was to become treasurer of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon's charities.〔Lovat-Fraser 1932: 3〕
