Research Notes

Surname given Levingston on FS but Livingston on Find a Grave. His parents' birth and death dates vary from FS to Ancestry. Here are some notes from when I was working on his granddaughter Cora's profile:

gg-father Andrew Levingston 1811-1857 m Mary Chenoweth (probably not Levingston-72 but his brother?) (Actually ancestry lookup suggests 1813-1863 (battle of Chicamauga) and wife Mary Eliz Chenoweth 1820-1849)
2gg-father Andrew Levingston 1781-1879 m Elizabeth Shinn
his father George Levingston14 Oct 1768 York PA - Feb 1845 Licking Oh m Marg. Hiley 1768 (VA)-1839 OH ... also see a book on History of Licking Co. OH.

1860 and 1880 census records still needed.
