Published / Created: undated
Provenance: Gift of Maria and Henry H. Livingston (Yale College 1940), 2003., The Livingston Family Papers represent a collection created, collected, or deposited in one ancestral home, Oak Hill, along the Hudson River at Greendale, Columbia County, New York, by six generations of descendants of John Livingston (1750-1822). The house was built around 1795, and passed through the Livingston male line to John's son Herman (1793-1872), then to his son Herman T. (1827-1899), to his son Herman (1856-1936), to his son Herman Jr. (1883-1951), then laterally to Herman Jr.'s brother Henry H. (1887-1960), and to Henry H.'s son Henry H. (1918-2008). The collection also includes some papers of Anna (1866-1967) and Archibald (1868-1952), the two unmarried siblings of Herman Livingston (1856-1936), as well as ancestral material of women who married Livingston men, in particular members of the Curran, Mulford, Hopkins, and Rogers families. In 2000 the papers were gathered from all corners of the house and the case furniture at Oak Hill by Henry and Maria Livingston's daughter Isabel, who prepared a preliminary inventory. After Isabel Livingston and her close friend Nan Taylor assessed the papers, they approached the Beinecke Library and packed the papers for transfer to Yale; the papers arrived at the library in two accessions, received August and December of 2003.
