Notes

"When Lewis Sanders inquired of his cousin, Rev. Francis Craig, about the story that Jane had had an illegitimate child Taliaferro Craig, by a Captain Taliaferro, he replied that the story was true, but that his grandfather's mother through life retained an "umblemished character." Nothing beyond her traditional name is known. Toliver Craig III's autobiographical sketch states that Taliaferro's mother was Jane Craig."

Notes

It is a very long story in that our LIVINGSTON ancestor was shipped to America in the care of the ship's captain to be reared in America by another LIVINGSTON as his parents were reportedly abroad a great deal. He was never told who his parents were and tried himself to determine this as well as did his descendants. It apparently was not intended for Robert Young Livingston to find out who his parents were.

He was shipped to the US under the direction of Robert Cambridge Livingston of New York at the tender age of 13 to live with George John Fardo in Charleston, SC. Fardo died within a year of Robert's arrival and, he was transferred to the care of Edward Legge, Charleston. One small piece of paper of unknown origin was found: "Friday, April 1st, 1853. Sir Thos. Livingston, Bart., died at 5 1/2 A.M. at Westquarter Linlithgow, Scotland. entail'd property to Fenton. Robert became a Merchant.

Old letters, etc were called by the family "Cambridge Livingston Papers", and in the possession of a Lucille Simmons Brown, a great-granddaughter of Robert Young Livingston.
Various letters from Robt C. Livingston of NY providing payment to Edward Legg of Charleston, SC 1792, for our Robert's upkeep.

The 1st ltr to Mr. George Fardo was from Hampstead, Middlesex 17 Mar 1792 :
"assigns to your special care, by the London, Capt. Wm. Richards, a youth named Robert Young Livingston, age 13, left early under my care-his parents have been abroad ever since his birth-they are respectable in point of faily, but have it not in their power, I understand to leave him any considerable property, so that he must be brought up in a way to get hisown bread, decently and becoming the connections he descended from. Confromably to my request to Mr. Livingston of New York to look out for some suitable situation for him in America, he informed me, that you agreed to receive him into your own house, ......Indeed any necessary expence clothing, or extra charge of fixing him in your employ, you will be pleased to apply to Mr. Livingston who will reguate the same and reimburse you for any such advances of money.....educated in reading, writing, and arithmetic....the persons whose care he has been under (not having been much under my own eye) speak very favorably of his temper and disposition....Clothe him properly for his station, and apply to Mr. Livingston for reimbursement - and indeed, for all other matters relative to this young Gentleman.....I interest myself very much in the well-doing of this young ward" signed John Stuart.

Mr. Fardo had residence in St. Phillips and St. Michael's Parish in Charleston in 1790, one female and 15 slaves. George John Fardo was m. to Miss Elizabeth Godfrey Friday, Feb 10, 1775. Mr. Fardo died in 1792, the year Robert was placed in his care and Robert then was placed in the care of Edward Legge of St. Thomas Parish, Charleston. Edward Legge was married on May 5 1775 to Mrs. Mary Walden, widow of Patrick Walden.

Ltr from New York, Apl. 10 179?. "I have not had the pleasure of hearing from you since 1792 which will occasion brevity. In consequence of Mr. Stuart's wish I have this day desired Mr. Alexander Rose to pay you one hundred dollars as soon as he received this much on my account....please to give him a receipt on my account." signed Robt. C. Livingston

Robert's son, Robert McLean Livingston, made considerable effort in ENG to determine his grandparents - old letters shows he made effort at Sir Jno. Stuart residence. Also he became acquainted with James Duane Livingston of NY, who wrote a letter of introduction for him to Thomas Ferguson Livinston, Esq. No. 39 Walker Street, New York. On the back of this letter two columns of 29 names in the 1st column and 5 names in the second and all seem to be names of the NY family of Livingstons. One small piece of paper with the date printed at the top and rest written in old fashioned hand, partly in pencil and partly in ink, says: Friday April 1st 1853. Sir Thos. Livingston, Bart., died at 5/1/2 A.M. at Westquarter Linlithgow, Scotland. entail'd property to Fenton."

"Sir Ingram De Umfreville (before 1281-c1320) Guardian of Scotland 1300-1301: Of all the Umfrevilles Ingram's origins are very unclear and no authority can agree on his exact lineage, it seems likely that he was a cousin or second cousin of Gilbert earl of Angus. If he was a son of Robert of Chollerton then he would have to have been born before 1257 as Robert was dead before then. Ingram was still alive in 1320 so if he was born in 1256 he would have been 64 in 1320. This is of course a generous age but not impossible. However, if the Chroniclers name 3 sons of Robert of Chollerton why leave out a fourth who was hardly an insignificant person? Robert of Chollerton's youngest brother Odinell was alive in 1270. If this Odinell fathered Ingram in 1270 Ingram would have been 50 in 1320. There is also a possibility that Ingram could be the son of any one of Robert of Chollerton's sons, William of Elsdon was still alive in 1281 and is the most likely candidate. It is my theory that Ingram was born after 1260 and before 1270 to one of Robert of Chollerton's sons as he would have to have been a man of some note in 1295 when he was sent as one of the Scot's ambassadors to France, hardly a job for a fresh-faced boy!

Ingram first comes to our attention as I have said in 1295 when he was one of the ambassadors who established the 'Auld alliance' with France. This alliance was a threat to the English Kings throughout the hundred years war. Under the terms of the alliance France and Scotland were obliged to aid each other in the event of an English Invasion. However, within a year Ingram was present at the siege of Berwick in 1296 with Edward I!. In 1298 he was still siding with the english and fought against Wallace at Falkirk with his kinsman Gilbert Earl of Angus . In 1299 he was one of the Scottish commanders who laid seige to Stirling Castle. On 10th May 1300 he was appointed joint Guardian of Scotland (replacing Robert Bruce who had resigned earlier) with William Lamberton the Bishop of St Andrews and John Comyn of Badenoch. A year later Ingram himself resigned being replaced by John De Soules.

In 1301 he campaigned for the Scots against the English. With John De Soules Ingram attacked Lochmaben on the 7th and 8th September and began to recruit men from Nithsdale. In the autumn of 1303 he was one of the Scots ambassadors to Paris. In 1304, after returning from France, Ingram had all his lands6 made forfeit to King Edward I but with the condition that he could buy them back at five times their annual value! Robert Bruce asked for Ingram's lands during the next parliament at Westminster and this was granted (they were returned to Ingram when Bruce declared himself King in 1306). In 1304 with Wallace and the 'rebel' Scots still at large Ingram was one of the Nobles who was to be denied safe conduct until his capture.

In 1307 Ingram was back on the side of the English and was one of their commanders in the Carrick and Galloway area who had traped the Bruce and his small army in the hill country south of the Forth. Bruce successfully fought a guerilla campaign against superior forces until the death of Edward I at Burgh-on-sands on 17th July. This gave Bruce the respite to consolidate his forces and went into exile in Ireland. Edward II made Ingram Guardian of South and West Scotland in order to waylay Bruce. Bruce returned from Ireland the following year and took Ingram by suprise. Edward Bruce drove Ingram into his keeps by overrunning Galloway.

Never one for missing out on the action we find Ingram fighting (although by then he was an old man) with Edward II at Bannockburn in 1314 with his kinsman Robert Earl of Angus. After the battle Ingram and Robert fled the field to Bothwell castle only to be betrayed by the constable and handed over to the victorious Bruce to be ransomned. In 1320 Ingram left Scotland in disgust after Sir David Brechin was sentenced to be hanged and beheaded at Perth for failing to report a plot to depose Bruce and impose William De Soules on the throne. Ingram must have died soon after. Of his descendents he had two daughters, Eva and Isabella and a son called Ingram."

"The evidence suggests that Ingrams lands were in Galloway and particularly Nithsdale. Firstly he performed most of his military duties there which would suggest he knew the area well. In 1299 Ingram, Bruce (whose lands were in the adjacent Annandale) and a host of other Scots magnates took part in a raid in the forest in the centre of the Scots border. Secondly with De Soules he fought against the English in 1301 with a host of men he had recruited from Nithsdale. Thirdly when Edward I died in 1307 he was appointed Guardian of the South and West Scotland (including Galloway and the borders) by Edward II. I 1307 he was driven into his keeps at Lochmaben, Ayr, Dumfries, Caerlaverlock, dalswinton, Tibbers and Loch Doon by Edward Bruce. All these keeps are in Galloway. John Prebble refers to Ingram as Robert Bruce's neighbour (The Lion in the North) thus Robert Bruce claiming Ingrams lands would make a great deal of sense if they adjoined his own in Annandale. Other sources suggest the Umfrevilles possessed land at Dunipace, near Falkirk."
