The exact year in which Mr. Livingston emigrated is not known; it is known, however, that he was here as early as February, 1676, as we find, at that time, that he was secretary of the commissaries who then superintended the affairs of Albany, Schenectady, and the parts adjacent, 1 which office he held till July, 1686, when Albany being made a city, the board of commissaries was dissolved. He was appointed to proceed with his brother-in-law, Peter Schuyler, to New York, to obtain the charter 2 ...of the city from Gov. Dongan, under which he was afterwards made town clerk.
