Pam: My Aunt had a friend, Cornelia DePuyster (sp?) Hunt, who was born in N.Y. (presumably in or near N.Y.C.) of an old and prominent Hunt family. I have a beautiful small oil portrait of her by a (probably) fine artist. My Aunt was a Hunt also, but I do not think they were kin, although they were such good friends that they pretended to be. I would like to find this family, as I would think they would like to have this portrait. I must have proof before relinquishing it.
