Hi Kristen, Ok so Effy's two sons Hugh and John Livingston were drafted into the Union Army in July of 1863. Their residence at the time Decatur, Lawrence County. prior to that Hugh Livingston age 26 is recorded in the 1860 Census residing with his wife Ruhama? Livingston age 20. So what happened t...

Donald, That is an amazing find! I have seen that 1900 census but couldn't piece who Hugh Burke was. I had assumed he was husband of Alice Livingston's sister (Alice is john's wife) since it says brother in law to head of household. But this explains it much better! Here is the link for Duncan's gra...

Donald, There is almost nothing more I love to hear accentwise than the Scots. Thank you for the links. I'm listening to them right now. I looked at the lochaline cemetery link and there are a couple Campbells listed there and I'm curious if that is one of Effie's relatives or possibly her parents. ...

I had my DNA tested by ancestry.com but I don't know if it would be any help. I know it's supposed to go through the male line and I don't know how good the DNA ancestry test is but if you guys can use it you are welcome to the results.

So I went back to a document that another Livingston cousin sent to me after I found her on a Scotland website. She documents that Archibald and Cirsty had 9 kids as follows: Sarah Livingston b. 1803 (which is interesting considering they weren't married unitl 1804) Mary Livingston b. 1805 in Morver...

John,

I believe that is my Archibald Livingston line. I have notes that say Archibald and Cirsty were married 24 Jan 1804 so that lines up with the information you gave. I would love any more information if someone has it!

Thank you!

After some digging in the Lawrence County, Ohio's genealogy page I was able to find Effie's child Sarah, who married an Albert Butler. She, too, is buried in the local cemetery there. I also found Hugh, the oldest. He fought in the Civil War. I am still trying to track down when they got to that cou...

Also, did you notice she came in under her maiden name and not married? Or at least that is what they noted....Euphemia Campbell.

Donald, That's a good catch. I assumed the Margaret above Effie was a daughter of that Donald. I have found many Donald's in the different census information many of them living in and around Ironton, Ohio. I'm wondering if Hugh moved back to Scotland. I can't find any record of him at all. But i wi...

I think I found the passenger manifest they came on. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939V-5T9F-7P?i=552&wc=MX62-FZQ%3A165760601%3Fcc%3D1849782&cc=1849782 Interestingly enough, it seems to be ALL the kids minus Peggy. Even the oldest boy, Hugh. So maybe my information is wrong about h...
