| Title | Sworn testimony of Robert Livingston regarding Mr. Russell |
| Date | 16 November 1712 |

| Content Description | In the testimony, Livingston swears that in 1710 he took a man named Mr. Russell with him to his Manor, at the request of James due Pre. During the course of the journey, it became clear that Mr. Russell was "delirious & out of his Right Senses," and it was thus decided to send him back to New York. It was then charged that Mr. due Pre recommended using Mr. Russell as a slave. However, Livingston swears that Mr. due Pre never said such a thing, and rather treated Mr. Russell as if he were ill, with the greatest care and kindness. |
