Betsy Lockwood, the oldest daughter of Major Ebenezer Lockwood married Alsop Hunt in 1777 when she was 14 years old. After the Revolution, the Hunts lived in New York City, where Alsop was a successful merchant. In 1823, Betsy returned to Pound Ridge as a widow and either built her home a that time or, possibly, altered an existing structure which had been built when she married.
