Henry W. Livingston

Henry Walter Livingston (June 12, 1768 – December 22, 1810) was a United States Representative from the state of New York.

Livingston was born in Livingston, Columbia County, New York to Continental Congressman Walter Livingston and Cornelia Schuyler. He was baptized on June 12, 1768 and had probably been born on the same day. He graduated from Yale College in 1786, studied law, was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in New York City.

From 1792 to 1794 he was private secretary to Gouverneur Morris, who was then Minister to France.

Livingston was then Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Columbia County. He was a member of the New York State Assembly in 1802 and again in 1810. He was elected as a Federalist to the 8th and 9th Congresses, holding office from March 4, 1803 to March 4, 1807.

In 1796 he married Mary Allen, a member of a prominent Pennsylvania family.

He died at his home on December 22, 1810. This home in Livingston, known as the Henry W. Livingston House, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
