Livingston and Mary Kingsbury. Larkin lived in Wallingford, Vt for awhile, having an uncle of the same name live in Mt. Holly. Larkin is listed as a member of the band there. He left Vermont and moved to New Hampshire. His full name was Larkin Pliny Livingston. In NH he was sometimes referred to as Larkin Livingston and on one record he was called Pliny Livingston. Mary later married a Clark Livermore and moved from Jamaica, VT. The son Pliny Livingston's full name was Pliny W. Livingston. He married Delia Corlew. There is a book about the Corlews and her ancestry can be easily traced. Pliny is buried in Fort Ann NY under the name of John P. Livingston all because someone called him "Texas Jack". All kinds of family lore says he knew Buffalo Bill Cody and Bronco Charlie Miller. The "Texas Jack" that was with these old cowboys was Jack Omahundro from Virginia and was not Pliny Livingston. Since Pliny raised horses in Fort Ann, NY and Buffalo Bill had a wild west show, I am going to guess that someone from the show bought horses from Pliny and from that came all kinds of family tales. The Wild West Show did come to Albany, NY and Bronco Charlie Miller settled in Glens Falls, NY. Therefore it seems probably that the horses were involved. It is sad that he is buried under a name other than his own. His birth name was: Pliny W. Livingston, born Jamaica, Vermont. His birth record can be found at the Town Clerk's Office in Jamaica, Vermont. On a deed to some land he sold in Vt while living in Fort Ann, he clearly signs his name as Pliny W. Livingston.
