(IV) Asa Livingston, son of Daniel Liv- ingston (3), was born June 3, 1755, at Tewks- bury. He was a soldier in the Revolution, in Lieutenant Thomas Clark's company, Colonel Green's regiment, April 19, 1775, on the Lex-

ington Alarm; enlisted afterward in Captain Benjamin Walker's company, Colonel Eben- ezer Bridge's regiment, and served from April to August, 1775. He married, May 21, 1778, Olive Peacock, who was born May 17, 1756, and died November 10, 1854, lacking two years of a century. Child, William, born February 24, 1779, mentioned below.

(V) William Livingston, son of Asa Liv- ingston (4), was born at Tewksbury, Febru- ary 24, 1779, and died there February 23, 1832. He was a farmer at Tewkesbury and a highly respected citizen. He mar- ried there Sarah Slater, who was born Janu- ary 6, 1782, and died March 25, 1872. Chil- dren : William, Jr., born April 12, 1803, men- tioned below ; Elbridge, born 1816, mentioned below.

(VI) William Livingston, son of William Livingston (5), was born in Tewksbury, April 12, 1803. He was educated in the public schools of his native town, and worked during his youth on the farm of his father. At the age of twenty he came to East Chelmsford, now Lowell, and worked as a laborer in the con- struction of the first mills building there. Then he bought a horse and cart and was soon em- ploying other men and carts in work he had taken on his own account. He built up a large business as a contractor in a short time. His enterprise and fidelity gave him a reputation second to none. He took large contracts for canal and railroad construction and handled them successfully, In 1827 he contracted to dig the canal from Sebago Lake, Maine, to a point several miles below on the Sebago river, and completed it within a year. He had an- other contract on the Blackstone canal, from Worcester to Providence, and was there two years. He then settled in Lowell and engaged in the wholesale trade in grain, lumber, wood, coal, lime, brick and cement, and was remark- ably successful. He bought the Nehemiah Wright wharf lot and the brewery lot on the west side of Thorndike street bordering on the Middlesex canal, and built a large brick build- ing, part of which he let for stores and dwell- ing and the remainder he used himself for a dwelling and stonehouse. He resided there until 1852, when he built the palatial residence at the corner of Thorndike and Chelmsford streets, now owned and occupied by his daugh- ter, Mrs. Paul R. George. The old building and wharf property adjoining his storehouses are owned by Hon. William E. Livingston, his son, who continues the business that his father established. In 1831, in company with Sidney Spalding and others, he bought a tract of land

of about one hundred and twenty acres in Lowell, laid it out in streets and building lots and sold it off to advantage. He continued in the contracting business and built the founda- tions of many of the new mills. He had a con- tract for constructing the earthwork and ma- sonry of the Lowell & Nashua railroad, and digging a canal in Illinois. In 1848 he built the wharf on Middlesex street and erected a saw, planing and grist mills there. He suc- cessfully operated these mills and in 1850 be- gan the manufacture of boxes, receiving into partnership in this branch of his business Otis Allen, of Lowell.

Mr. Livingston was energetic, courageous and resourceful. When the Boston & Lowell Railroad demanded what he thought exorbi- tant rates for freight, he advocated competing roads and to his persistent efforts are due the early construction of the Lowell & Lawrence and the Salem & Lawrence railroads. He con- tended against the powerful opposition of the Boston & Lowell Railroad, and only after the most persistent effort both in and out of the legislature did he win his charters. Upon the organization of the Lowell & Lawrence Rail- road Company, he was chosen president, a po- sition he held until his death. He was a di- rector of the Lowell & Salem road from the time of its organization. In both roads he was the master spirit in the work of construction. It was mainly due to his wonderful force of character and executive ability that these roads were completed promptly. The act incorporat- ing the Lowell & Lawrence was passed in 1846 and before the close of 1847 the road was in operation. To accomplish this remarkable work of enterprise and dispatch much night labor was necessary. From early life he had enjoyed a remarkable vitality and strength, but the strain of this night work on the railroads undermined his constitution and he fell a vic- tim of consumption. He died in March, 1855, at Jacksonville, Florida, whither he had gone in the hope of benefiting his health. Mr. Liv- ingston was prominent in financial circles ; di- rector of the Lowell Mutual Fire Insurance Company and trustee of the City Institution for Savings. He was distinctively a man of the people; self-made, of broad practical ex- perience from constant intercourse with the busy world; resourceful and of bold, adven- turous disposition in business at a time when the development of the industries and resourc- es of the country needed canals, railroads and such men as Livingston to build them. He was filled with the spirit of local pride and he

left the impress of his work and character on his city and age. He was present at the founding of Lowell and contemporary with the men who established the great manufactur- ing enterprises, the principal source of the wealth of the city that has grown up there. Livingston helped build that city and spared no effort to advance its interests and procure its permanent prosperity. In politics he was a Democrat. He was particularly earnest in support of the temperance movement and did his utmost, regardless of parties, to pro- mote prohibition of the sale of alcoholic liquors and to protect the masses from the curse of rum. He was the proprietor of the Lowell Weekly Gazette, a newspaper devoted to tem- perance reform. In 1836 and 1837 he repre- sented his district in the state senate. He was an active opponent of monopolies, even in rail- roading. He left a large estate and his name stands among the most distinguished of the founders of the city of Lowell.

He married, November 26, 1829, Mary A. Johnson, who was born June 27, 1808, and died September 29, 1871. Children : I. Wil- liam Edward, born June 25, 1832. 2. Mrs. Paul R. George, of Lowell.

(VII) William Edward Livingston, son of William Livingston (6), was born in Lowell, June 25, 1832. He was educated in the public school of his native place and in Williston Academy of Easthampton, Massachusetts. Upon leaving school he became associated with his father. He was only twenty-three years of age when the burden of his father's large business fell upon his shoulders. From 1828 to 1855, when his father died, that busi- ness had had a steady growth and under the management of the son it continued to grow. It assumed extensive proportions, and its pro- prietor has for many years stood among the foremost men in mercantile life in northern Massachusetts. He has passed through many financial crises in safety with credit unim- paired. Mr. Livingston was fortunate in his training for a career he has had; the wisdom and experience of his father started him in the right track and he doubtless inherited that force of character and determination that are the sure foundations of all business success.

Mr. Livingston is a member of the Merrimack Street Unitarian Church. In politics he is a Democrat of the old school ; he was an alder- man of the city in 1867 and 1868; and repre- sentative to the general court in 1875 and 1876. He served on the commission that built the city water works and on the commission

that built the City Hall and Memorial Building, appointed January 26, 1892. He had has a distinguished career in Free Masonry. He is past master of William North Lodge of Free Masons, past high priest of Mount Horeb Chapter of Royal Arch Masons; past thrice illustrious master of Ahasuerus Council of Royal and Select Masters ; past deputy grand master of the Grand Council of Royal and Se- lect Masters of Massachusetts. He has taken all the degree of Scottish Rite Masonry in- cluding the thirty-third. He is president of the Lowell Masonic Association, treasurer of the Masonic Relief Association and member of Pilgrim Commandery, Knights Templar. He has been president of the Highland Club of Lowell and is a member also of The Club and of the Martin Luthers. He is director of the Appleton Bank of Lowell, of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company, vice-president of the City Institution of Savings, member of the Board Of Trade and of the Master Builders' Asso- ciation.

He married Mary E. C. King, daughter of Godfrey B. King. Children: I. Mary Au- gusta, born September 15, 1858; married White. 2. Caroline George, born July 31, 1860, married Dr. Charles P. Spalding. 3. William, born June 12, 1870. 4. Ethel, born July 19, 1873.

(VI) Elbridge Livingston, son of William Livingston (5), was born in Tewksbury in 1816, and died in Lowell in 1888. He was educated in the district schools of his native town and of Lowell, whither he came when a young man. He followed the contracting business along lines similar to that of his brother William; built up an extensive busi- ness and amassed a competence, chiefly in con- struction of railroads. Some years before his death he retired from active business and en- joyed a well-earned rest and leisure. He was highly esteemed by his associates in business and commanded the respect and confidence of all his townsmen. In politics he was a Repub- lican, but never sought public office. He was a faithful member of the Unitarian church. He married Irene Lund, of Hollis, New Hamp- shire. Children : I. Adeline, deceased. 2.

He remained at the head of the Nanking Uni- versity for nine years, when he transferred his services to the Nanyang College, Shanghai, China, which educational institution flourished to such an extraordinary degree under his ad- ministration as to attract the attention of the Chinese government to his great executive ability, and in 1901 he was sent by that gov- ernment to Europe and to the United States to investigate the matter of advantage to young men to be found in commercial schools as con- ducted in America and Europe.
