Livingston-Schuyler family of New York

Note: This is just one of 1,164 family groupings listed on The Political Graveyard web site. These families each have three or more politician members, all linked together by blood, marriage or adoption.

This specific family group is a subset of the much larger Four Thousand Related Politicians group. An individual may be listed with more than one subset.

These groupings — even the names of the groupings, and the areas of main activity — are the result of a computer algorithm working with the data I have, not the choices of any historian or genealogist.

Abraham Davenport Abraham Davenport (1715-1789) — of Stamford, Fairfield County, Conn. Born in Stamford, Fairfield County, Conn., June 6, 1715. Lawyer; member of Connecticut council of assistants, 1776-83.

John Greenleaf Whittier wrote a poem about this incident in 1866; John F. Kennedy referenced Davenport's actions in speeches during the 1960 presidential campaign. Died in Danbury, Fairfield County, Conn., November 20, 1789 (age 74 years, 167 days). Interment at Northfield Cemetery, Stamford, Conn.
