Education
He graduated from Yale College in 1786, studied law, was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in New York City.
Career
He was baptized on June 12, 1768 and had probably been born on the same day. From 1792 to 1794 he was private secretary to Gouverneur Morris, who was then Minister to France. Livingston was then Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Columbia County.
He was elected as a Federalist to the 8th and 9th Congresses, holding office from March 4, 1803 to March 4, 1807.
He died at his home on December 22, 1810. This home in Livingston, known as the Livingston House, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
In 1904 the vault was broken into, apparently by grave robbers. The remains were scattered, and efforts to recover them and identify the thieves were unsuccessful.

He was a member of the New York State Assembly in 1802 and again in 1810.
