Clermont State Historic Park, Germantown, New York

Robert Livingston (1654-1728), born in Scotland and raised in The Netherlands, arrived in Albany, New York, during the winter of 1674-1675. Active in shipping and fur trading, he also obtained responsible public and private positions and quickly gained wealth and influence. In 1686 he was granted a charter establishing the Manor of Livingston, which included 162,248 acres of land, the southern third of present Columbia County. Robert became the first Lord of the Manor. In 1728 Livingston left 13,000 acres of the Manor to his third son, later known as Robert of Clermont (1688-1775). Tradition holds that this gift was in gratitude for the sons success in rescuing his father from an Indian plot. Known as Clermont, or the Lower Manor, this tract did not carry manorial privileges. On a low plateau overlooking the Hudson River, the mansion of the Lower Manor was constructed about 1730 as the seat of the new estate. Robert of Clermonts only child, also named Robert (1718-1775), served with distinction as Judge of the Admiralty Court and Judge of the Supreme Court of the Province of New York. As a delegate to the Stamp Act Congress, he penned the 2 letter of protest to the King of England. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
