Note from the editor of this Livingston Material.
"I am attaching a brief descrioption of the Modified Henry System of
numbering individuals, which I use. This should make the information
easier to interpret.
"The numbering system used in my files is the Modified Henry system. Each
unique number represents the generation (the number of digits) and the birth
order of each individual, as well as his complete ancestry, back to the
first listed progenitor (1. or A.). Starting with immigrant, or first known
ancestor as "1.", the next generation would include: "11.", "12". and "13.",
three children. Where more than 9 children were born in any family, the
letters "a", "b", "c", etc. are used to represent the individual. Where
birth order is unknown, letters at the end of the alphabet are used for the
individuals, i.e. "w", "x", "y" and "z", etc. After each 5 generations, a
"." is placed to make generation counting easier.
My files contain primarily information from secondary and tertiary sources.
Only for generations going back to my great grand-parents have primary
sources been searched. If a question exists regarding the validity of
information, a "?" is shown. If different sources conflict on data,
multiple data is given. It has been observed that some compilers have been
careless in distinguishing between birth and baptismal dates, or between
death and burial dates. This is probably the most common source of
discrepancies.
STYLE
1. The present 2-letter US Post Office abbreviations are used
for states.
2. Months are abbreviated to three letters
3. Periods are usually not used for common abbreviations, eg.
Dr, Rev, Dom, MD, US, etc.

May 1727 (or 1729), at Livingston Manor, bur in the church at Livingston Manor, Oct moved to a vault in the church at Livingston Manor), as her 2nd h. on Jul 9, 1679. She was dau. of Philip Pieterse Schuyler and Margaretta van Slichtenhorst, and m1. Feb 10, 1675, Rev. Nicholas Van Rensselaer (b. Sep 14, 1636, Amsterdam, d. Nov 12, 1678, Rensselaerswyck) (no children), son of Killian van Rensselaer and Anna van Wely. Alida inh Nicholas' property, and debts. Robert and Alida lived in the Patroon's house, in Albany and on the Greenbush farm. He battled with Maria Van Cortland, wid of ___ Van Rensselaer, over property right at Rensselaerswyck. House on Pearl St (Albany). IMMIGRANT, 1673.
He had a small shipping business in the Netherlands, before emigrating to America, in Apr 1673. He originally arrived from Rotterdam, via Scotland, at Charlestown, MA, arriving Dec, 1673. He met with the powerful Winthrops, who were connected t his father. He met John Hull, the silversmith, who convinced him of the money to be made in the fur trade. He went to Albany, 1674, where he became ingratiated with Rev Nicholas van Rensselaer. He was Secretary to town of Albany, Secretary to Rensselaerswyck. He became First Lord of the Manor of Livingston, 1686, created by Gov Thomas Dongan, originally 2000 acres (Nov 4, 1684), across the Hudson from the Catskills, through which Roeliff Jansen's Kill flowed. He added two more small parcels, and mysteriously by Jul 22, 1686, when the manor was granted, it had grown to 160,000 acres. He was bur in the church, Albany, Apr 21, 1725; Mayor of Albany 1710-1719. He was descended from William, 4th Lord Livingston of Callendar, Earls of Linlithgow. Appointed secreatry to the first Board of Indian Affairs, then town clerk. Collector of the Excise, at Albany. Speaker, Provincial Assembly, May 27, 1718. Family lands increased to about 1 million acres through purchase and marriage by the end of the second generation.
He was an opponent of Leisler, and a leader of the anti-Leislerians, a prominent force in the Albany Convention, which defied Leisler, and the author of an official Jan 1690 letter denouncing the Leisler regime. After the massacre at Schenectady, Feb 9, 1690, they reluctantly accepted Leisler's troops for protection. He was present at the hanging of Leisler and Milbourne, in MYC, May 16, 1691. Gov Sloughter made him victualer of the garrisons at Albany and NYC.
He was a part owner of a brigantine, which returned in 1694, from a Caribbean voyage with a 500 % return on investment. Gov Fletcher ordered the ship siezed, and the owners charged with violations of the Navigation Act (for trading with the French). The charges were dropped when the Grand Jury refused to indict. The Grand Jury chairman, was Livingston's good friend, Capt William Kidd. He had met the new Governor (1698), Lord Bellomont, while in England and realizing that he sided with the Leislerians, Livingston changed sides and became a member of the Governor's Council, when he returned to NYC, along with Abraham de Peyster, Dr. Samuel Staats and Robert Walters (Nicholas Bayard, and Willett being among those dismissed). House at State and Pearl Sts, Albany. He bought Capt. Kidd's house, on Dock St, in NYC and later gave it to Margaret as a wedding present. He was a personal friend of Capt William Kidd, privateer and later pirate and had introduced him to Lord Bellomont (in England), who recommended him to the King. It was Livingston's plan to send Kidd to the Red Sea, as a Privateer, with Lord Bellomont securing the official documents, and Royal backing. In 1696, Kidd set forth in the "Adventure Galley. Kidd became a pirate, and paid for it with his life (hanged May 23, 1701), but Livingston is said to have profitted immensely (some say that Kidd's treasure was buried on Livingston land. In 1701, he was removed as Collector of the Excise, and threatened with confiscation of all his property, including the Manor, because of the questions over £20,000 expenses. His Leislerian enemies turned on him. he was expelled from the Governor's Council. He was saved by the pleas of his Indian friends, and the death of Lord Bellomont. Lord Cornbury re-instated Livingston and purged the Council of the Leislerians. Cornbury also returned the "Mary" to John and Sam Vetch. He built ships at the mouth of Roeliff Jansen's Kill.
1700, built Manor House, at mouth of Roeliff Jansen's Kill.
In 1710, he worked with Gov Hunter and Queen Anne to settle a large group (ca. 3000) of Palatines in the Hudson Valley (on his land) in order for them to produce naval stores for the British Navy. They were fleeing the effects of the War of Spanish Succession, and the effects of several severe winters in the Palatinate. East Camp and West Camp were set up on each side of the Hudson. Livingston gave back 6000 acres to the Crown, which he claimed contained the right pine trees for making tar. In exchange, he was given the right to provision and supervise the Palatines. The plan was a failure because the immigrants did not have the proper skills and the pine trees were not of the appropriate variety. The Palatines rebelled in the Spring of 1711. The project was a failure. The government subsidization ended in 1712, and the Paltines were left on their own. They eventually moved west into the Mohawk Valley, and some went down to PA.

He went to Quebec to arrange an exchange of prisioners, committed the plans of the fortifications to memory and returned to Boston and committed them to paper for the use of the American Forces.

He was a student of artist Benjamin West in London, but got interested in engineering and studied canal navigation. He worked on submarines and tried to interest the British and French in them. He later turned to steamboats. Chancellor Livingston announced their engagement on board the "Clermont" (originally called the "Hudson River Steamboat"), on its maiden voyage (Aug 1807), just before the boat reached Clermont. One of major inventors of the steamboat (along with John Stevens of Hoboken and Nicholas Roosevelt). Together with Chancellor Livingston, he had a monopoly for steamboat navigation on the Hudson River, until it was ruled unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court. First steam ferry service, NYC to Brooklyn, 1814, with William Cutting. In 1810, Fulton and Chancellor Livingston sent Nicholas Roosevelt to Pittsburgh to survey a route down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans by steamboat, which Roosevelt succeeded in doing. He completed the trip, in 1811, on the "New Orleans", which he built in Pittsburgh. Fulton's third steamboat on the Hudson, "Paragon", built 1811, hit a rock and sank, 1821.
He had patents for a canal dredging machine, a marble sawing device and a flax spinning machine. He interested Napoleon in his submarine and torpedoes. He was commissioned to sink British ships with his submarine "Nautilus", which failed to sink any ships and Napoleon lost interest. His first steamboat, built on the Seine, in 1803, at the request of Robert Livingston, then minister to France, promptly sank.

pages 92:103 Regarding marriage status of Abraham Smith Fulton
(brother of steamboat Robert Fulton):
Abraham Smith Fulton (Robert 1), younger brother of THE
Robert Fulton, born after 1765. Although a genealogy has been
received purporting to be that of a descendant of this man, {10}
no evidence has been found suggesting that Abraham Smith Fulton
ever married or had children...
WARNING! There is another Abraham Fulton with a brother
named Robert living nearby. Abraham & Margaret (Guthrie)
Fulton came to North America ca 1772 and settled at Derry,
Westmoreland Co., PA. They attended the Sewickley Presbyterian
Church and their two sons were Robert, b 1751, and Abraham,
b 1753. Both men served as Rangers of the Frontier ca 1778.
Some researchers have confused deeds and family information
of Abraham, son of Abraham, as referring to Abraham Smith
Fulton, son of tailor Robert Fulton. - Ed.

[Note: Evelyn Pierrepont and his uncle, Benjamin Waddington, had occupied the brewery and alehouse of the widow, Elizabeth Rutgers during the British occupation of NYC during the American Revolution. The brewery was destroyed before the British evacuation of the city. Mrs. Rutgers sued Joshua Waddington as agent for his uncle Benjamin and Evelyn Pierrepont, for damages under the Trespass Act, passed by NYS. She was the aunt of Egbert Benson, NYS Attorney General. Alexander Hamilton represented the US Government which claimed that the Treaty of Parios, which forbade claims against Britain or British subjects, resulting from the war, superceded NYS law. Hamilton won the case and the widow Rutgers lost.
