In the trial of Robert and Johannis Van Deusen v. Josiah Loomis, Francis Salisbury states that the late Robert Livingston was the first patentee of the Manor of Livingston over 60 years ago, and that the land has remained in the possession of his heirs and successors until the present time. He also states that he is familiar with the tracts of land that comprise the Manor, and that the entire Manor lies within the county of Albany, and the province of New York.
