In a strange succession of events in the Livingston family history, Peter Robert Livingston's elder brother died before their father and thus again a second son was in line for succession as 4th Lord of the Manor.
LIVINGSTON, Peter Van Brugh, merchant, was born in Albany, N.Y., in October, 1710; second son of Philip and Catherine (Van Brugh) Livingston.
VAN RENSSELAER, Stephen, soldier, was born in New York city, Nov. 1, 1765; son of Stephen and Catherine (Livingston) Van Rensselaer; grandson of Philip and Maria (Sanders) Livingston; great-grandson of Kiliaen and Areoantie (Schuyler) Van Rensselaer; great2-grandson of Jeremias, the immigrant, and Maria (Van Cortlandt) Van Rensselaer, and great3-grandson of Kiliaen, the first patroon.
Under the influence of Walter Bagehot's The English Constitution, Wilson saw the United States Constitution as pre-modern, cumbersome, and open to corruption.
He welcomed socialists who supported the war, like Walter Lippmann but would not tolerate those who tried to impede the war efforts—many of whom ended up in prison.
