| John Erskine, 6th Lord, 1st or 22nd Earl of Mar, Regent d 28.10.1572 | |||||||||||||||
| As reported in Erskine 1, there is some uncertainty as to whether or not this John's formal acceptance as Earl of Mar was acceptance of his family's longstanding claim to that title or a new appointment. In BP1934 Mar and Kellie, he is shown as 1st Earl but in BP1934 Mar he is shown as 22nd Earl with this 'higher numbering' continuing to modern times. TSP dodges the issue by not numbering the Earls. | |||||||||||||||

| After being an active parliamentarian after the Union, becoming Secretary of State for Scotland, John lost favour after the succession of King George I after which he became a fervent Jacobite. This led to his receiving the 'empty' title of Duke of Mar from the Pretender King James VII/III and also to his earldom being attainted. | |||||||||||||||

| On the Earl's death there was a split of his titles with the ancient Earldom of Mar passing to his nephew John presumably because that title could be passed through the female line and the more recent 1565 creation of that Earldom along with the Earldom of Kellie which he had inherited from his kinsman Methven Erskine passing to his heir-male, his cousin Walter. | |||||||||||||||
