The course OF this family and its possessions L.
lustrates the levelling power OF our laws and In.
stitutions most remarkably. 1t was nearly two
centuries ago that Robert Livingston. son OF
Scotch preacher who had been banished to Hol
land, came to America and received grant Of
land on the Hudson comprising large portions Of
what Is now DlchesS and Columbia Counties OF
New York State. The King subsequently
confirmed the grant, erecting the Lordship and
Manor OF LIvir gston. The family was fdf over q
century prominent In the councils Of the State
and the nation, taking distinguished part in
public affairs; but no law OF primogeniture pre-
served 1t permanent head, and no entail kept
the great estate together. The property was
sold, from time to time, according to the indl-
yfdlsl needs OF those who divided and owned it.
the family slowly died out In the regular line OF
succession, and now; the last remnant OF the
estate follows the last Livingston to lorgetful-
ness.
