Miller left his property and the windmill to his grandson, Captain William Hedges, who acquired the mill in 1832. In 1834 Hedges had the mill's machinery put in good order, as Nathaniel Dominy V charged him for sixteen days labor to "put in shaft Cogs and Rounds." In 1845 William Hedges sold the mill to David A. Hedges, who moved it to his property on the north side of Pantigo Road about one half mile east of the village. David Hedges sold the mill to Hiram Sandford, who moved it to the corner of Pantigo Road and Egypt Lane, where it stood until 1917. Based on its being located for 72 years on Pantigo Road, the mill became known by its geography. Some time before 1865, Sandford sold the mill to Nathaniel Dominy VII, who also owned the Old Hook Mill. An inscription on the stairway in the Pantigo Mill indicates that Dominy was repairing the mill in February 1878 and that he "Commenced to Grind" on 12 June 1878. Dominy had only a year of service from his mill following these repairs, for in August 1879 a storm, described as the "heaviest since 1811", "twisted off" the iron cross holding the sails stocks." Dominy never put the mill back in running order. The Pantigo Windmill was purchased in 1917 by Gustav Buek, who moved it to the rear of his house on the East Hampton Common. After Mr. Buek died, the Village of East Hampton acquired his seventeenth-century house and the windmill. Because the American writer and actor John Howard Payne had visited this house, owned by his grandfather when Payne was a child in the early 19th century, the village called it "Home, Sweet Home", after his famous song of 1822. The song made him famous and was especially popular among soldiers on both sides during the American Civil War. The Village undertook extensive repairs to the mill in 1978-1979 and 1984–85. The house and mill are classified as contributing properties to the East Hampton Historic District References External links Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in New York (state) Museums in Suffolk County, New York East Hampton (village), New York Living museums in New York (state) Farm museums in New York (state) Industrial buildings and structures on the National Register of Historic Places in New York (state) Historic American Engineering Record in New York (state)
