- Biographical Description
-
The name Robert J. Livingston was mentioned in a runaway ad for a Black woman named Nell in 1753, where "Robert J. Livingston, Merchant in New York" was described as Nell's former enslaver.
It is difficult to ascertain exactly which Robert Livingston this refers to. There were at least four men named Robert in the Livingston family of New York who were alive at this time, and it appears that none of them used the middle initial J, so the middle initial printed in the advertisement may be an error. - Keywords
