Robert R. Livingston died at Clermont on February 26, 1813. Historic Red Hook describes later relocation of identifiable remains to St. Paul's and Trinity Parish Cemetery in Tivoli, but qualifies the Clermont Livingston vault as a possible precise resting place. A Sons of the American Revolution account also identifies a vault at St. Paul's. The date is Livingston's death, not the vault's construction.
