When Henry Livingston moved to Poughkeeepsie from Kingston, he rented a house from Captain John Conklin, then fell in love with the Conklins' daughter. Neither his parents nor the Conklins were in favor of the match.
One Sunday during church, Susannah told her maid that she needed air. When Susannah didn't return the maid came out and a search commenced. One of the hangers-on finally noted that Harry Livingston had ridden up and taken Susannah up onto his horse and ridden away.
The couple had just gone down the road to a minister who married them. Nine months later Susannah had her first baby and the Livingstons were given the house in which they lived by her parents. The marriage was a liong and happy one.
