Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
ROSSLYN, EARLS OF . The first
earl
  of Rosslyn was Alexander Wedderburn (see below), who was succeeded by his nephew, James St Clair Erskine (1762-1837), a son of
Wedderburn's sister
Janet
  by her
marriage
  with Sir
Henry
  Erskine (d. 1765), a Scottish
baronet
  and soldier. Entering the army in 1776, James Erskine served in Portugal, in Denmark and in the Netherlands, and became a general in P814. From 1782 until 1805, when he became a peer, he was a member of
parliament
 ; a Tory politician and an associate of the duke of Welling-ton, he was lord privy seal in 182930 and lord president of the council in 183435. He inherited the estates of the family of St Clair and took this name in 1789, and he died on the 18th of January 1837. His son, James Alexander (18021866), became 3rd
earl
 , and in 1890 the latter's grandson, James Francis Harry (b. 1869), became 5th earl.
