}}Henry Alexander Livingston (August 26, 1776 – June 9, 1849) was an American politician from New York.[1]

Life

Livingston was born on August 26, 1776. He was the only child of John Henry Livingston (1746–1825), President of Queen's College, and Sarah (née Livingston) Livingston (1752–1814).[1]

His paternal grandparents were Philip Livingston, a Continental Congressman and signor of the Declaration of Independence, and Christina (née Ten Broeck) Livingston, sister of Albany Mayor Abraham Ten Broeck.[3] Through his mother, he was a first cousin of Lt. Gov. Edward P. Livingston, and his aunt, Helena Livingston (1767–1859), was married to Justice Jonas Platt (1769–1834).[2] His paternal grandparents were Dr. Henry Livingston and Susannah Storm (née Conklin) Livingston. Through his father, he was the nephew of Continental Congressman Gilbert Livingston, author Henry Livingston Jr. (the grandfather of U.S. Senator Sidney Breese and Admiral Samuel Livingston Breese), and Alida (née Livingston) Woolsey.[2]

Career

Livingston spent his life on the patrimonial estate on the Hudson River near Poughkeepsie,[1] the estate of his grandfather Henry, himself the eldest son of his father, Gilbert, who was the youngest of three sons born to Robert Livingston the Elder, 1st Lord of Livingston Manor and progenitor of the Livingston family in America.[3]

He was a member of the New York State Assembly (Dutchess Co.) in 1827 as a member of the 50th New York State Legislature.[1]

He was a member of the New York State Senate (2nd D.) from 1838 to 1841, sitting in the 61st, 62nd, 63rd and 64th New York State Legislatures.[4]

Henry A. Livingston married Elizabeth Beekman (1779–1811), the daughter of James Beekman and Jane (née Lefferts) Beekman.[5] Together, they were the parents of nine children, including:[6]

  • Sarah Livingston (1797–1818), who married Rev. Brogan Hoff.[5]
