Descendants of Robert LIVINGSTON (1700's)

Notes


1. Robert LIVINGSTON

  It is likely that Robert and Mary Livingston never came to America.   The will of their son Samuel Livingston (born 1759) refers to his sisters still living in Ireland.


4. Margaret LIVINGSTON

  The will of Robert Livingston establishes that Margaret was his sister, as it refers to her children Aaron, Isaac, and Robert Grier as his nephews.


Robert GREER
