Christina Ten Broeck was born in Albany, New York, on December 30, 1718, the daughter of Albany civic leader Dirck Ten Broeck and his wife Margarita Cuyler, and the great-granddaughter of Albany mayor Dirck Wesselse Ten Broeck. She was the third of twelve children, and grew up in Albany with her sisters and brother in a comfortable home on Market Street.
Philip Livingston was born January 15, 1716, at his father's townhouse in Albany, and spent most of his childhood there or at the family manor at Linlithgo on the Hudson River, about 30 miles to the south. He was born into the well-to-do and prominent family. His father, also named Philip Livingston, was of Scotch descent and the Second Lord of Livingston Manor, and controlled a large landholding grant near Albany. His mother, Catharine Van Brugh, was of Dutch lineage. His maternal grandfather was Albany mayor Pieter Van Brugh. While he was growing up, Philip divided his time between his father's townhouse and the Manor House built in 1699.
Philip graduated from Yale College in 1737. Like many of his relatives, he settled in New York City, where he entered the import business. He is said to have been naturally silent and reserved, and to have appeared austere to strangers. Yet he was uncommonly mild and affectionate to his family and friends.
Philip Livingston married Christina Ten Broeck April 14, 1740, at the Albany Dutch Church, and they moved into a stone townhouse on Duke Street in Manhattan. They had nine children – five boys and four girls – and only one son and three daughters gave them grandchildren. Their first child was baptized at the Albany Dutch church in 1741.
