| | John Erskine, 22nd Earl of Mar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | John Erskine, 22nd (or 6th or 11th) Earl of Mar (1675 - May, 1732), Scottish Jacobite, was the eldest son of Charles, the 5th earl (1650-1689), from whom he inherited estates that were heavily loaded with debt. |
 | | Owing to the complex history of the earldom, Erskine may be reckoned 22nd, 11th or 6th in the line. |
 | | He was associated with a party favourable to the government, was one of the commissioners for the Union, and was made a Scottish secretary of state; becoming, after the Union of 1707, a representative peer for Scotland, keeper of the signet and a privy councillor. |
