Hugh was born in Knockinode, Avoca, County Wicklow, Ireland to Robert Leviston and Mary Ann Watson. He was baptised in the Church of Ireland on the 29th of May 1825, in the Parish of Castlemacadam, County Wicklow, Ireland.
Fleeing the Irish famine, Hugh arrived in the USA with older brothers John and Joseph, and younger siblings Charles, Ann, and Robert and possibly Margaret. The boys worked in the Crow Branch lead mines, in Mifflin, Wisconsin.
Hearing the stories about the gold rush, Hugh and his cousin Samuel Henry Harkwood Livingston were lured to the gold fields in California, leaving Wisconsin in March of 1850.
Hugh returned to Wisconsin two years to three years later and married Grace Mates (Matteson). They had nine children and a large prosperous farm. The town of Livingston was founded on his land, and bears his name.
When Hugh's parent's Robert Levingston and his wife Mary Ann Watson left Ireland in 1855 they joined their children in Wisconsin, and settled into a dwelling on Hugh's property.
Hugh's cousin Samuel didn't settle back into Wisconsin, instead he traveled to Canada, becoming a founding citizen of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
