context_page_description: The Pantigo Windmill on James Lane in Easthampton, New York is a smock mill with eight sides, bearing a weathervane on top with 1771 punched through it. The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 as part of the East Hampton Village District. Ref# 74001309
context_section_description: The Pantigo Mill was built on Mill Hill on the common at the south end of East Hampton, the third windmill to occupy that site. The Mill Hill had been built up from a natural rise in 1729 when a post mill was moved there. The post mill was replaced by a new windmill in 1771. Samuel Schellinger began building the Pantigo Windmill for Huntting Miller in March of 1804. He built the Pantigo Mill and the Beebe Windmill and his work was not confined to the east end of Long Island. He built a windmill in Setauket in the 1820s and, according to his apprentice, William Baker, Schellinger built windmills at Brooklyn, Nantucket, and Block Island. He also did considerable work on boats at Sag Harbor.
  Samuel Schellinger charged Huntting Miller for 83 days of his own time and an additional 144 days for the work of his assistants, James Raynor, Mathew and Richard. Also assisting on the mill was David Sherril, an East Hampton carpenter whose account book shows that he repaired several local windmills. In the summer of 1804 David Sherril charged Huntting Miller for thirty-five days work on the mill. In June Sherril noted he was framing the mill and in August he was working on "the Mills running gear."
  Three months later the owners of the windmill across the common also began constructing a windmill with intermediate gearing. This was to replace their mill built in 1769. This second windmill, the Gardiner Mill, was being built under the direction of Nathaniel Dominy IV. Nathaniel Dominy V does not mention the Pantigo windmill until 1821 when in his accounts he noted on a repair bill, "put Shaft beam to Mill" for Huntting Miller.
