His father was 1746 Jacob Livingston.

His mother was 1746 Sara Haus.


He was married Dec. 21, 1801 to 1784 Sarah Van Kleek,
in Schoharie County, New York.  They had these children together:

  Sarah Livingston (Rhodes)              born Dec. 24, 1801, died 1899
  Hugh Solomon Livingston                born Apr.  3, 1803, died 1869
  Jacob J. Livingston                    born Jan. 22, 1804, died 1883
  Harriet Ariantje Livingston (Stevens)  born Apr. 22, 1806, died 1859
  John H. Livingston                     born Oct. 17, 1808, died 1855
  Margaret Livingston                    born Aug.  9, 1809, died 1810
  Ahasuerus Benjamin Livingston          born Jul. 15, 1810, died 1896
  Hannah Livingston                      born Oct. 15, 1812
  Mary Livingston                        born Apr.  9, 1813, died 1813
  Stephen Livingston                     born June 14, 1815, died 1895 
  Catherine Livingston (Lord)            born Oct. 18, 1817, died 1892
  Nancy Livingston (Brazie)              born June 29, 1819, died 1867
  Ruth Livingston (Swatling)             born Apr.  5, 1820, died 1897
  Elizabeth Livingston (Burton)          born Dec. 31, 1822, died 1885
  Jane Caroline Livingston (Watson)      born Dec. 31, 1822 *
  Burton Allen Livingston                born July 14, 1827, died 1879
  Thomas Tobias Livingston               born Sept. 3, 1829, died 1917

* Another entry I found showed Jane Caroline Livingston born Dec. 3, 1825
however from reading the listing apparently written by her parents, it
seems that Elizabeth and Jane were born twins on Dec. 31, 1822.

There are some discrepancies between this list and data I found elsewhere, 
notably on ancestry.com and Find-A-Grave.

At upper right is a photo of the family bible, owned by their son,
1829 Thomas Tobias Livingston and currently in the possession of
my cousin, Kelley R. Petrucci.

N.B.: I was unable to find any reference to "Brayman's Corners" in either
Schoharie County or Schenectady County and I have information that it was
in either one or the other.  It may also be called "Scotch Bush".

Here is a photo and transcription of a page from 
the family bible, showing names and year of birth 
of Jacob, Sarah, and their children.
