The Captain Nathaniel Hayden House is a historic house at 128 Hayden Station Road in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1763, it is an excellent local example of Colonial brick architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
Nathaniel Hayden, son of Nathaniel Hayden, was born on December 14, 1738. He first married Anna Flier, then Rhoda Lyman. With Rhoda, he had four children: Nancy, Nathaniel Lyman, Naomi, and Pliny. He went to work with his father as a farmer and a shoemaker but joined the Continental Army. When news of the Battles of Lexington and Concord reached Connecticut, he led 23 men to Massachusetts to take part.
When George Washington evacuated New York City during the Battle of Long Island in 1776, Hayden was with the army. He also led a group in 1777 to thwart John Burgoyne at Saratoga, but Burgoyne surrendered before he arrived.[2]
