Philip Livingston (1686-1749) was born in Albany, New York, the fourth son of Robert Livingston (1654-1728) and Alida Schuyler (1656-1727). Livingston began his mercantile career working for his father in 1707, and later with one of the his Schuyler uncles on his mother's side, before creating a trading empire of his own. Livingston married Catherine van Brugh in 1708, and they lived in Livingston Manor in Albany, with Livingston succeeding his father as second lord of the manor following his death in 1728.
Jacob Ten Eyck (1705-1793) was born in Albany, New York, the son of silversmith Koenraet Ten Eyck. Ten Eyck moved to New York City in 1719 where he was apprenticed to Charles Le Roux for seven years before returning to Albany to work with his father. Beyond his work as a silversmith, Ten Eyck served as a constable and firemaster before being elected to the Albany city council in 1734, and eventually serving as Mayor of Albany from 1748 to 1750.
