Livermores in Tioga and Broome Counties
By: Jason Livermore
Numbers follow those used in The Livermore Family of America by Walter
E. Thwing, 1902. Notes generally follow Thwing's convention of assuming that
towns are in Massachusetts unless otherwise indicated.
50. Hannah (Allen) Livermore, wife of Moses5 Livermore
(Josiah4, Joseph3, John2, John1)
Hannah survived Moses and moved with her son Moses (102, see below) to Lisle,
N.Y. in 1817, where she died.
75. Daniel5 Livermore (David4, Daniel3,
Samuel2, John1) The first white men to visit Owego,
N.Y., of whom we have any account, were a portion of Gen. Sullivan's army,
in 1779. On Aug. 17, in that year, Capt. Daniel Livermore of the 3d N.H.
regiment of Gen. Poor's brigade, with a detachment of 900 men from Gen.
Sullivan's army, marched up the Susquehanna River from Tioga Point (Athens,
Pa.), to meet Gen. Clinton's expedition of 1500 men, which was coming down
from Otsego Lake. At Owego, Capt. Livermore destroyed the Indian village
which was on the river's bank, at and below William Street, and which consisted
of about twenty wigwams, the natives having fled on the approach of the troops.
Two days afterward they effected a union with Clinton's army at Charamuk
(Choconut, about one and one-half miles above Union), and the entire body
then marched to Owego, arriving Aug. 19, and remaining encamped there two
days on account of rainy weather. This was the expedition sent to chastise
the British, Indians, and Tories, for the horrible massacre and barbarous
atrocities committed at Wyoming and Cherry Valley. (Thwing, 1902)
102. Moses6 Livermore (Moses5, Josiah4,
Joseph3, John2, John1) was born April 2,

Lisle. He and his family (except his sons Warner and Charles) removed to
Caldwell settlement, town of Lisle, in 1817, making the journey, by the aid
of four teams, in twelve days. Children were born in Spencer [Mass.] (Thwing,

Joseph3, John2, John1) was born March 28,
1775, in Spencer;

in various census records for Tioga County. He and Polly are buried in Hope
Cemetery in Newark Valley.

ii. Rufus, b. Nov. 29, 1800.
From sources other than Thwing: Rufus moved to Tioga County and is
mentioned in local records. He had children born in Tioga County.
In the 1850's he moved his family to Eau Claire County, Wisconsin.
First wife was Mary Williams;
second wife was Lucinda Kenyon.
