The Livingstons of Livingston Manor, being the history of that branch of the Scottish House of Callendar: which settled in the English Province of New York during the reign of Charles the Second; and also including an account of Robert Livingston of Albany, "The Nephew", a settler in the same province, and his principal descendants. (The Knickerbocker Press, 1910).

    Several earlier texts either questioned the connection between the American branch of the Livingstons of Livingston Manor with the Scottish branch, or did not explicitly state the name of the ancestor who the Rev. John Livingston mentioned in his autobiography as his great-grandfather, killed at the Battle of Pinkie in 1547. In E.B. Livingston's book (Source 2 above), he names James as the second son of William Livingston and Agnes Hepburn, and the father of Rev. Alexander Livingston of Kilsyth (formerly Monyabroch) who was in turn the grandfather of the Rev. John Livingston. This is echoed in (Source 3 above) in Florence Van Rensselaer's book on the Livingston Family.

    X. Master James Livingston, who, as he is styled 'Magister' or 'Master,' must have taken a degree in Arts at one of the universities, was in 1544 a member of the household of his kinsman, James Hamilton, Earl of Arran, Governor of Scotland. Arran Commanded the Scottish army at the battle of Pinkie (10 September 1547), in which battle James Livingston was slain. He was the father of Master Alexander Livingston, the first Reformed Rector of Monyabroch (Kilsyth).
