"The Book of Great Neck"
Edited and Compiled by Devah and Gil Spear

"On the west side of Middle Neck Road, going north was the Post Office and General Store of Nehimiah Hayden (son of John K.), whose house was attached to the store. The fact that the post office was the meeting place of the village and that there were so many Haydens about led this part of the Neck to be called 'Haydenville' in those days."

And on page 26 of this book is found a quote which was inscribed on the inner side of a hand-hewn base board of a house and covered for years. It was uncovered in 1936 when "refurbishing the old Allen manse, abaft the Mill Pond on the ancestral Allen-Udall-Skidmore-Eldridge acreage". "This House Was Bilt by John K. Hayden In the Year 1819 And When it is Repared I Wish that The Carpenters Wood Make Good Work for It Most (most or might) Likely I Shall Not Bee In This Country to Inspect It. August 20it 1819
