• Notes

  Arthur Livermore received classical instruction from his parents (Samuel and Jane Browne Livermore). He then studied law with his older brother, the lawyer Edward Livermore, at Concord (NH). He was admitted to the New Hampshire Bar in 1791/2 and practiced at Concord for a few months. Livermore moved to Chester (NH) in 1793, and served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives (1794/5). Appointed Solicitor for Rockingham County (served 1796/8), Livermore moved to the family lands at Holderness (NH) in 1798. Livermore served as Associate Justice of New Hampshire Superior Court (1798 - 1809), and then as Chief Justice of the same court (1809/13). He was then named Associate Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court (served 1813/16). Livermore was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1816 (served March 1817 - March 1821). He was Chairman of the Committee on Post Office and Post Roads, and (1819/21) Chairman of the Committee on Expenditures in the Post Office. He was defeated for a third term in the 1820 election. Returning to New Hampshire, Livermore served in the State Senate (1821/2) and was Judge Probate for Grafton County (1822/3). Re-elected to the United States House of Representatives in the 1822 election, Livermore served one term but refused to run for re-election. He returned to New Hampshire and served as Chief Justice for the Court of Common Pleas (1825/32). He was also a longtime trustee of Holmes Plymouth Academy (1808/26). He died in 1853.
