Susan C. Livingston

Current owner of Oak Hill, the Federal-era Livingston estate at Linlithgo, Columbia County, New York, built in the 1790s by John Livingston (1750–1822).

## Connection to Oak Hill

In 1997, Henry H. Livingston, Jr. sold Oak Hill to Susan C. Livingston, described in the Yale finding aid as his sixth cousin once removed. The sale kept the estate within the broader Livingston family rather than passing out of family hands.

## Lineage

The Yale finding aid identifies her as a descendant of Robert Cambridge Livingston (1742–1794), a son of Robert Livingston (1708–1790), the third and last Lord of Livingston Manor. The specific generations linking Robert Cambridge Livingston to Susan C. Livingston are not given in the source and have not been reconstructed here.

## Confidence and caveats

- Oak Hill ownership and the 1997 purchase: high confidence (Yale archival finding aid, corroborated by the 2016 WSJ feature).

- Descent from Robert Cambridge Livingston: stated by the Yale finding aid, intermediate steps unverified.

- Birth and death dates: unknown, deliberately left blank.

- She should not be confused with the similarly named Brown Brothers Harriman banker Susan Clark Livingston of Marblehead, Massachusetts.
