Livingston was born in New York, New York in 1757 to Susanna French (d. 1789) and William Livingston (1723–1790). He received a B.A. from the College of New Jersey, (now Princeton University), in 1774.

His sister, Sarah Van Brugh Livingston (1756–1802), married John Jay (1745–1829) who was a diplomat, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, signatory of the Treaty of Paris, the second Governor of New York, and the first Chief Justice of the United States, in 1774. Another sister, Susannah Livingston (1748–1840), married John Cleves Symmes (1742–1814), who was a delegate to the Continental Congress from New Jersey, and later a pioneer in the Northwest Territory. His daughter, Anna Symmes, from a previous marriage, married eventual President William Henry Harrison, and was the grandmother of President Benjamin Harrison.
