Birthplace

 

Birthplace: Philip_Livingston Birthplace, "Elm Street Corner" townhouse, Albany, NY

Visited: 10/17/2020

Log Excerpt: "A couple of rest area stops on the Thruway and headed into downtown Albany for our first exciting stop right near the Capital and an NHL church we saw years ago - a plaque on a building for the birthplace of Signer Phillip Livingston. Just a photo-op while fending off a number of homeless looking for change - COVID has clearly taken a toll."

Log Excerpt: "This was the “farm” or country house of the Manhattan lawyer, businessman, slave trader, and DoI Signer from 1764 until his exile and death in 1778. Just a plaque here on a corner building."

Gravesite

 

Gravesite: Prospect Hill Cemetery, York, PA

Visited: 10/22/2023

Log Excerpt: "... as we zigzagged up to York, for two Signer grave sites. First, James Smith in the First Presbyterian Church graveyard, then Philip Livingstone in the much larger Prospect Hill Cemetery. Each one had the typical PA historical sign, and the graves were easy to find, having little American flags."
