1675 James Livingston

Born: Feb. 22, 1675 in Edinburgh, Scotland

Died:          1725 probably in Kinderhook, New York (possibly Rotterdam NL)


His father was 1638 William Livingston.

His mother was 1639 Anna Veitch.

He was christened Feb. 28, 1675 at Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, 
Midlothian, Scotland.

He was married to Maria Roos in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, probably 
about 1702; Maria died in 1703 or shortly thereafter, from complications 
caused by the dour weather of Scotland; she apparently contracted 
pneumonia during a visit from Rotterdam to Scotland in 1703, for the 
purpose of having their son James christened in the same church where 
his father was christened.

They had one child together, 1703 James Livingston.

After Maria's death, James married "Sarah" a few years later, in
or near Rotterdam, Holland (The Netherlands/Nederland).  Sarah was
born in 1670.  She became the step-mother of 1703 James Livingston.

James had a (half-)brother named Andrew Livingston, but little is known of him.

I did find some information that Andrew became a doctor and that both
brothers were involved in the 1698 Darien Disaster.  
Both were officers in the expedition.
