He was third of sixteen children born to Susanna Yates (1762–1840) and Abraham Gerrit Lansing (1756–1844), the New York State Treasurer.[2] His younger sister, Susan Yates Lansing (1804–1874), became the second wife of Peter Gansevoort (1788–1876), son of Gen. Peter Gansevoort, in 1843.[3]

He was the nephew of John Lansing Jr.[4] His maternal grandfather was Abraham Yates (1724–1796).[2]

Lansing pursued classical studies and was graduated from Union College in 1800. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1804 and commenced practice in Albany.[1]
