Margaret Lewis Livingston (1780–1860) was the only child of Morgan Lewis and Gertrude Livingston. She married Maturin Livingston in 1798 and raised twelve children. Her letters to daughter Gertrude, from 1826 to 1842, describe managing tutors, arranging family finances and directing gardens and seasonal moves to Staatsburgh.
