Surnames: Liebenstein, Livingston
The naming custom of the Germans was to name the child after the sponsor of the child.
Note below the sponsor of John born Aug 3 1733 or Johannes Liebenstein.

I ask a researcher in Lancaster County to search Lutheran Church records of Muddy Creek Lutheran for a Bernard Livingston, Bernhardt Liebenstein or Lowenstein.

Some info that I got says.
Hello, in Muddy Creek Lutheran the following children of Bernhard Loewenstein:
Mary Magdalene b.Dec 1728 bap May 8, 1730 spon Mary Magd Strom wf of Benedict Strom
Juliana b May 5, 1731 bap ----22, 1731 Spon Nicholas Adam and wf Juliana
