Their parents were first cousins. The Collyer family alleged their roots could be traced to a fictional ship that supposedly arrived in America from England a week after the Mayflower. The family was descended from the Livingston family, a New York family with roots going back to the 18th century. Robert Livingston was the first of the Livingston family to emigrate to America in 1672 – fifty-two years after the Mayflower. The couple had a daughter, Susan, who died as an infant in 1880. The following year, on November 6, 1881, they had their first son, Homer Lusk, and in 1885 Langley was born. They were living in a tenement while Herman interned at Bellevue. As a child, Homer attended PS 69. At the age of fourteen, he was accepted to the College of the City of New York as a "sub-freshman", earning his bachelor's degree six years later.
