Talk:James Livingston (American Revolution)

message: Explanation for this edit:
*First, the assertion that James L. was the grandson of "James" and Margaretta (Schuyler) Livingston was apparently based on a databse at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nysarato/batlla.htm#livjam.  I recently contacted via e-mail the owner of that database and he was kind enough to double-check his facts against the book it came from as it appeared to me that James was actually the grandson of Robert Livingston the Younger.  When he located the book, he told me that the database appeared to be in error and that he had corrected it to reflect the sources I had found (namely the New York State Museum web site).
*Second, this article had previously said that James's other grandfather was a "General" Ten Broeck.  The only General Ten Broeck I have found is Abraham Ten Broeck (an article I initiated here) but Abraham was James Livingston's uncle, not grandfather.  Assuming the "General" was referring to Abraham, I modified the relationship.  If Abraham's father (and James L.'s grandfather) was also a General of some sort, that fact can be re-added but the article is now correct regardless.
*Last, the article had previously claimed that James L.'s great grandparents were Peter and Maria (Van Rensselaer) Schuyler.  But Peter Schuyler was married twice and most sources indicate that James L. was descended from Peter's first wife, a Van Schaick, not his second.  So I have removed the relationship to the step-ancestor, Van Rensselaer.

thread_title:  Edit explanation 

message: I’m not familiar with the man myself but evidence in the main text seems to point out he was born in Albany, New York, even though the infobox gives “Chambly, Canada, New France”. I assume this is an error stemming from him living there in 1775, so I’m editing it now. Tom (talk) 10:50, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Update from random reader in December 2023: There is a minor error at this part of the article, giving Albany New York as “USA” before the existence of the United States. The USA should be removed as it was prior to the revolutionary war. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.184.117.73 (talk) 15:12, 29 Dec 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Good catch! I've edited the infobox to show him as born in the Province of New York. —C.Fred (talk) 15:18, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
