"Robert, the immediate ancestor of the family in the New World, was a son of the 'worthy, famous Mr. John Livingstone,' as he was fondly termed by his cotemporaries[sic]. John was born at Kilsyth (then called Monyabrock), Stirlingshire, Scotland, on the 21st of June, 1603. His father, Mr. William Livingston, who officiated as minister of Monyabrock from 1600 to 1614, and was then transferred to Lanark, was the son of Mr. Alexander Livingston, his predecessor in the charge of the parish of Monyabrock, and who in his turn, it is said, was a grandson of Alexander, fifth Lord Livingston, one of the nobles intrusted with the keeping of Queen Mary in her infancy, and the ancestor of the Earls of Linlithgow and Callender. John's mother was Agnes, daughter of Alexander Livingston of Falkirk, a cadet of the house of Dunnipace."
