  Ruth Livingston (Swatling)             born Apr.  5, 1820, died 1897
  Elizabeth Livingston (Burton)          born Dec. 31, 1822, died 1885
  Jane Caroline Livingston (Watson)      born Dec. 31, 1822 *
  Burton Allen Livingston                born July 14, 1827, died 1879
  Thomas Tobias Livingston               born Sept. 3, 1829, died 1917


Another entry I found showed Jane Caroline Livingston born Dec. 3, 1825;
however, from reading the listing apparently written by her parents, it
appears that Elizabeth and Jane were born twins on Dec. 31, 1822.  It
seems unlikely that the person who wrote the list of progeny would have
accidentally or mistakenly listed them as twins were that not the case.

There are some discrepancies between this list and data I found elsewhere.

At upper right is a photo of the family bible of 1829 Thomas Livingston.  
This bible is now in the possession of my cousin, Kelley Petrucci.  As
she put it, "the bible is about two hundred years old; the pages are
dried and cracked and it smells of wood smoke". 

Here is a photo and transcription of a paper
found in the family bible, showing names and year of birth 
of Jacob, Sarah, and their children.
