Mortimer Livingston (1807-1857)
President of the New York & Havre Steamship Company
He and his wife lived at 4 DePau Row, New York City. He took over his father-in-law's (Francis de Pau's) shipping business which had made him a fortune slave-trading. From 1828, the firm was known as Bolton, Fox & Livingston, owners of the "Union Line" of packet steamships running between Le Havre and New York. His partners were Curtis Bolton and Samuel M. Fox, and after Bolton died the firm continued as Fox & Livingston. He and his wife were the parents of just one daughter, Sylvia.
