When alderman he was frequently called upon by the Privy Council to investigate disputes or malpractices in the city, and once, in March 1596, he was among those summoned to a Privy Council meeting when some sort of consent was wanted to an official decision on taxation in the city. He had a wide range of close friends among city dignitaries, including the recorder, and was well known to the attorney and the solicitor-general. It is not clear through what links of patronage he was provided with his two borough seats in Parliament.His long will is dated 24 Mar. 1597. '''After a devout preamble he divided his goods equally into three shares, one for his wife, one for his daughters, and one to meet various legacies and the purchase of the wardships of his children'''. His many charitable bequests included those to Christ’s Hospital, the Bridewell, and the inmates of five London prisons. Relatives, friends and acquaintances were to receive ‘blacks’ and gowns.

His grandfather, Robert Pakington, younger brother of Sir John Pakington (d. 1560) [q. v.], was a London mercer, was M.P. for the city in 1534, was murdered in London in 1537, and was buried at St. Pancras, Needler's Lane. The father, Thomas Pakington, inherited from his mother, Agnes (or Katharine), daughter of Sir John Baldwin (d. 1545) [q. v.], large estates in and near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, and was also heir to his uncle, Sir John Pakington. He was knighted by Queen Mary on 2 Oct. 1553, and was sheriff of Worcester in 1561. He died at Bath Place, Holborn, on 2 June 1571, and was buried at Aylesbury on the 12th. He married Dorothy (1531-1577), daughter of Sir Thomas Kitson of Hengrave in Suffolk, by whom he had two daughters and one son. His widow, who was his sole executrix, acquired some celebrity by her interference in electioneering matters. On 4 May 1572 she issued a writ in her own name as 'lord and owner of the town of Aylesbury,' appointing burgesses for the constituency. She afterwards married Thomas Tasburgh of Hawridge in Buckinghamshire, and died 2 May 1577. Oxford, graduated B.A. on 13 Dec. 1569, and was a student of Lincoln's Inn in 1570. Pakington attracted the notice of Queen Elizabeth in her progress to Worcester in August 1570, when she invited him to court. In London he lived for a few years in great splendour, and outran his fortune. He was remarkable both for his wit and the beauty of his person. The queen, who took great pleasure in his athletic achievements, nicknamed him ‘Lusty Pakington.’ It is said that he once laid a wager with three other courtiers to swim from Westminster to London Bridge, but the queen forbade the match. From 1587 to 1601 Pakington was deputy-lieutenant for Worcester. In 1587 he was knighted. In 1593 he was granted by the crown a patent for starch (Noake, Worcestershire Nuggets, p. 272; Hist. MSS. Comm. 5th Rep. p. 277, 6th Rep. p. 257, 7th Rep. p. 94). The queen, to help him in his financial difficulties, made him bow-bearer of Malvern Chase, and is said to have given him a valuable estate in Suffolk; but when he went to the place and saw the distress of the widow of the former owner, he begged to have the property transferred to her. Strict economy and a period of retirement enabled him to pay his debts, and a wealthy marriage in 1598 greatly improved his position. Pakington devoted much attention to building, and to improving his estates in Worcestershire. The central portion of the house at Westwood, which after the civil war became the residence of the family, was his work. He also constructed a lake at Westwood, which unfortunately encroached on the highway. His right to alter the road being questioned, he impetuously had the embankments cut through, and the waters of his lake streamed over the country and coloured the Severn for miles. He was sheriff for the county of Worcester in 1595 and in 1607. In June 1603 he entertained James I with great magnificence at his house at Aylesbury. In 1607 Pakington, as justice of the peace for Worcestershire, resisted the jurisdiction claimed by the council of Wales over the county (Wright, Ludlow, p. 419).y Smith, Queen Elizabeth's silkman, and widow of Benedict Barnham [q. v.] By her he had two daughters and a son (see below). The union was not a happy one. Early in 1607 Pakington ‘and his little violent lady … parted upon foul terms.’ In 1617 she appealed to the law, and Pakington was forced to appear before the court of high commission, and was committed to gaol. It was the unpleasing duty of Lord-keeper Bacon (who had married Lady Pakington's daughter''', Alice Barnham) '''to give an opinion against his mother-in-law. In 1628 she quarrelled with her sons-in-law respecting the administration of her husband's estate, which was transferred to the sons-in-law in February 1629 (Lords' Journals, iii. pp. 827, 862, 872, iv. pp. 23–4). In or about 1629 she took a third husband (Robert Needham, first viscount Kilmorey), who had already been thrice married, and died in November 1631. Subsequently she became the third wife of Thomas Erskine, first earl of Kellie [q. v.] He died on 12 June 1639, and she probably died about the same date.''' There is a portrait of Pakington at Westwood Park, Worcestershire. '''Of his three children''', Anne, his '''elder daughter''', married at Kensington, on 9 Feb. 1618–19, Sir Humphrey Ferrers, son of Sir John Ferrers of Tamworth Castle, Warwickshire; and, after his decease, Philip Stanhope, first earl of Chesterfield.

He married Frances, daughter of Sir John Ferrers of Tamworth, by whom he had one son, John (1620–1680), who succeeded to the title, and is separately noticed, and one daughter (Elizabeth), who married, first, Colonel Henry Washington, and, secondly, Samuel Sandys of Ombersley in Worcestershire. Pakington died in October 1624, and was buried at Aylesbury. His widow married at St. Antholin, Budge Row, London, on 29 Dec. 1626, ‘Mr. Robert Leasly, gent.’ (Harl. Soc. Publ. Reg. viii. 61).

He brought over fresh recruits in 1596 and, despite some misgivings about his youth, was given command of a horse troop, which was ambushed south of Dublin a few months later. He missed this action, and may have returned to England before his unit was disbanded in 1598, but in the following year he was listed on Essex’s Irish establishment as a garrison captain.20While Needham’s Irish career ended at this point, his military experience brought him an early appointment as deputy lieutenant in 1600. His main estates were situated in Cheshire, but his administrative experience lay in Shropshire, and it was for the latter county that he was returned to Parliament as junior knight of the shire for a second time in 1604. The county seats usually rotated among the Shropshire gentry, and Needham, having just inherited his estates, had a particularly good claim to election. Moreover, the junior knight for the previous Parliament, (Sir) Roger Owen*, a personal friend, was ruled out of contention because he was then serving as sheriff.217 session entirely. However, his status as a shire knight brought some wider responsibilities, such as attendance at the conference with the Lords of 14 Apr. 1604, at which the king’s initial proposals for the Union were unveiled, and membership of bill committees for important measures such as the continuance and revival of statutes (24 Mar. 1604) and Anne of Denmark’s jointure estates (24 May 1604). The Shrewsbury drapers arranged for both shire knights to be named to their Welsh cloth bill (10 Mar. 1606), while Needham was one of a large group who volunteered to testify about the abuses of purveyors (7 May 1604). Another local concern, the navigation of the river Severn, was reflected in his nomination to committees for the weirs’ bill (23 June 1604, 7 Feb. 1606), and he was included on committees for two private bills sponsored by neighbours, Robert Devereux, 3rd earl of Essex and Sir George Booth.22 He is known to have made two speeches, one an appeal for privilege to suspend a Chancery case (15 May 1604), the other an unsuccessful defence of the bill to restrict hunting rights to the gentry, which was apparently a particular interest, as he was named to committees for four other game bills.23 Finally, when wild rumours of the king’s assassination panicked the House on 22 Mar. 1606, Needham, largely because he had a saddled horse ready to hand, was one of three MPs chosen to ride post haste to Woking, Surrey to confirm that James was safe.24or Newcastle-under-Lyme. He remained active in local affairs for the rest of his life, particularly in the lieutenancy, and at his death the armoury at Shavington contained weapons for several dozen men.25 His purchase of an Irish viscountcy in the final weeks of James’s reign was something of a novelty, but Charles, with a war to fund, openly sold such honours for cash, and several members of the Cheshire faction to which Needham was linked quickly followed his example.26 In 1629 the House of Lords questioned the Irish and Scottish viscounts’ claims to precedence before English barons, and George, Lord Chaworth* mounted a spirited defence of their interests before the Privy Council. However, Needham, when approached for a donation towards this cause, rather feebly protested that his creation was justified because he had had no knowledge of it ‘till my patent was brought to me to my house in the country, which I conceive was [granted] of mere grace from His Majesty in recompense for the service I had done in Ireland, for so it is expressed in my patent’.27rried in quick succession at the end of his life, who had generous jointure estates and were respectively worth £20,000 and £5,000 in goods.28 His will of 22 Dec. 1630 insisted that his funeral be conducted ‘without giving blacks or mourning attire (for that I hold it to be a very idle ceremony)’, and offered small legacies to his immediate family, but his estates were already entailed upon his eldest son, to whom they passed at his death on 24 Nov. 1631. His widow married the 1st earl of Kellie, but was dead by the time of the latter’s demise in 1639.29liamentonline.org/volume/1604-1629/member/needham-sir-robert-15678-1631' was the eldest surviving son of Sir Alexander Erskine of Gogar and Margaret Home, a daughter of George Home, 4th Lord Home and Mariotta Haliburton.nal friend of James VI of Scotland (later James I of England) and in 1585 was made one of the Gentlemen of His Majesty's Bedchamber. He was with the king on the occasion of the Gowrie Conspiracy in 1600, when James was supposedly kidnapped by the Ruthven brothers at their house in Perth. He was afterwards awarded a third of the confiscated land of the Ruthvens and given the title Lord Erskine of Dirletoun in 1604.[1] He was made a Privy Councilor in 1601 and accompanied the Duke of Lennox on a diplomatic visit to France.throne in 1603 and was made Captain of the Guard (1603–1617) and Groom of the Stool in 1604 and created Viscount Fenton (or Fentoun)in 1606. He acquired Kellie Castle from the 5th Lord Oliphant in 1613 and was given the barony of Kellie.[2] In 1615 he was made a Knight of the Garter and Earl of Kellie in March 1619.ellie reminded them that James had preferred the title "King of Great Britain", and he assured the council that using "King of England and Scotland" would not please the people of Scotland.[3]ed intestate[4] in London in 1639 and was buried at Pittenweem, Fife. Thomas's son Alexander predeceased his father in 1633. He was succeeded by his grandson, Thomas Erskine, 2nd Earl of KellieEarl of Kellie Married three times. His first marriage, on 30 November 1587 was to Ann Ogilvie, daughter of Sir Gilbert Ogilvie, of Powrie.[5] A younger brother, James Erskine, married Marie, a daughter of Adam Erskine, Commendator of Cambuskenneth on 17 May 1594.[6] daughter Ambrose Smith of Cheapside.[8][4]chives.gov.uk/details/r/C5571072as (1566-1639)''' by Alsager Richard Vianrd Home, was born in 1566. He was educated and to a great extent brought up with James I, whose marked favour he enjoyed till the king's death. In 1585 he became a gentleman of the bedchamber, and between 1594 and 1599 various charters were granted him of Mitchellis, Eastertoun, and Westertoun in Kincardineshire, Windingtoun and Windingtounhall, and Easterrow. He was with the king at Perth in August 1600, when the Gowrie conspiracy was foiled, and in the general scuffle received a wound in the hand, or his services on this occasion a third part of Gowrie's lordship of Dirleton was granted him, and in warrandice thereof the king's barony of Comtoun, Stirlingshire. He accompanied the Duke of Lennox on his embassy to France in 1601, and on his return was admitted a member of the privy council, at the meetings of which he became one of the most regular attendants. He accompanied James into England in 1603, and was appointed captain of the yeomen of the guard in succession to Sir Walter Raleigh, continuing to hold the post till 1632. He was created Baron Dirleton in April 1604, was a groom of the stole in 1605, and in 1606 was raised to the dignity of Viscount Fen ton, being the first to attain that degree in Scotland. Several further grants of land and a life interest in certain estates were obtained by Erskine, but he remained unsatisfied, and in October 1607 he is found writing to Salisbury proposing various schemes for his own advancement and requesting the minister's influence with the king (Cat. State Papers, Dom. 1603-10, p. 875). The petition appears to have been disregarded, as was also another which Erskine made in the following year for a command in the Low Countries. In May 1615 he was invested with the order of the Garter at the same time as Lord Knollys, and much popular interest was excited by the rivalry between the two new knights in the splendour of their procession to Windsor. In 1618 Erskine projected a scheme of respite of homage, the object of which was to raise money for the king, and was rewarded in the following year by his advancement to the earldom of Kellie. A grant of 10,000l. was made to Erskine in December 1625 for services to the late and present king. From 1630 to 1635 he sat on various commissions, but he did not succeed in gaining the prominence he desired in the direction of state affairs. He died 12 June 1639 in London, and was buried at Pittenweem, Fifeshire. He married first, Anne, daughter of Sir Gilbert Ogilvy, by whom he had a son, Alexander, and a daughter, Anne; secondly, in 1604, the widow of Sir Edward Norreys; and on her death he became the '''fourth husband of a daughter of Humphrey Smith of Cheapside, and widow of Benedict Barnham, Sir John Packington, and Robert, viscount Kilmorey, His differences with this last lady were such as to require the intervention of the king.''' He was succeeded in his honours by his grandson, Thomas, the eldest son of his son Alexander (d. 1033), by Lady Anne Seton, daughter of Alexander, earl of Dunfermline. pp. 286, 374, 1625-6, p. 356, 1637, p. 184; Reg.
