ALLA MEMORIA DI ENRICO BROCKHOLST LIVINGSTON

Wikipedia entry on father. He was son of Judge Henry Brockholst Livingston, a Justice on the United States Supreme Court from 1806 to 1823, and Catherine Seamen Kortright. Mary Thomas Seaman's 1928 Seaman Genealogy on Catherine Seaman Kortright as the second wife to Judge Henry Brockholst Livingston. Jeffrey Begeal notes that Henry Brockholst Livingston, Jr. married Marian Magdalen Gribaldo of Turin on 17 January 1874 in Florence, Italy (Consular records of James Lorimer Graham, E12). Therefore he was born in Washington, D.C. circa 1819, according to the age he gave to Graham on the wedding certificate from the Consulate Office. The New York Times described him in 1878 as driving a team of 12 matched bay horses through the streets of Florence, caparisoned in gold, a widower of 60, a classical scholar, of independent wealth with no need to practise a profession. His obituary was then published, New York Times, 21 July 1892. Apart from the marble indicating where his ashes lie we have no burial entry for him in our Cemetery's archival records.
