i have managed to trace back my erskine lineage to a man named James Erskine whom was married to a Nancy Angus Duncan. They were both born in Ireland, and Nancy's lineage I've traced back to Scotland. James, however is my current stone wall, I know that he is a Scottish Erskine as we had this old piece of tartan growing up that is consistant with the Erskine's clan tartan. However, I cannot nail down an exact birth date... several sources have conflicting dates for him... although I know he married Nancy in Ireland and set sail, to establish them selves in Anderson County, SC.... I know they had atleast two children, Hugh and Margaret(whom I think married one, thomas shirley)... aside from that I'm drawing blanks....
if anyone possibly knows anything about this James Erskine, whom, i believe, was born sometime around 1757(most consistant date given)and died, i know for certain, in 1846.... please please please let me know
