Carroll Livingston (1832-1904)

He worked for a time as a stockbroker with his father but retired in his thirties to devote himself to a life of leisure. He was described as, "a cosmopolitan - at home everywhere. He is well-known in Paris and several cities in Northern Italy. In one of the latter cities he created a sensation [in 1876] by driving a sixteen-in-hand". He was a well-known judge at the race tracks in New York, a yachtsman, and enjoyed outdoor sports, hunting, riding, and driving. He was a member of the Society of the Cincinnati, the Sons of the Revolution, the Union Club and the New York Yacht Club. He acted as a second in the last duel fought in the United States between his friend - with whom he afterwards sailed to Paris to avoid questioning from the Grand Jury - Gordon Bennett and Frederick May. He married Helen, daughter of Charles R. Cornwall, but died without children. Afterwards his widow married a Mr. McCormick.
