JOURNAL OF MAJOR HENRY LIVINGSTON, OF THE THIRD NEW YORK CONTINENTAL LINE, AUGUST TO DECEMBER, 1775.

BY GAILLARD HUNT, WASHINGTON, D. C.

[Robert Livingston, son of the Rev. John Livingston, of Scotland, came to America in 1673, and later received a patent for a tract of one hundred and fifty thousand acres of land on Hudson River. He had three sons, Philip, Robert, and Gilbert. Gilbert Livingston's eldest son, Henry, married Susanna Conklin, and Major Henry Livingston was their son. He was born on the family estate at Poughkeepsie October 13, 1748, and died there February 29, 1828. Major Livingston was thus twenty-seven years of age when he was commissioned major of the Third New York Continental Line, Colonel James Clinton, and when his regiment was ordered to join the Canada expedition under General Richard Montgomery, who had married his great-aunt Janet Livingston. Subsequent to the date of this journal his career was uneventful, for, beyond serving as a Judge of Dutchess County, he preferred the life of a country gentleman. Unlike his kinsman of Clermont, he was a staunch Federalist after the Revolution. The journal came into my hands as Historian of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution in the District of Columbia, and is the property of Henry Livingston Thomas, a member of the Society.-G. H.]
