My great-great grandmother was Margaret Ann Pineo (born Abt 1823 in Nova Scotia, possibly Medford; died in Apple River on 9 May 1892) married to Charles Vincent Green (Abt 1918-Bef 9 May 1892). Their daughter Ada May Green married Havelock H. Mosher — they settled in Apple River and had 11 children. I'm searching for Margaret Pineo's parents, etc. In the meantime, I found a very interesting personal sketch on Peter Pineo. ********************* We were soon overtaken by Mr. Peter Pineo, who invited us to his habitation, eighteen miles distant from Annapolis, where we all arrived in good spirits, though not a little fatigued with our journey, for we had travelled, with all our baggage, fifty-four miles in two days. We found Mr. Pineo very friendly and obliging, and however he may be esteemed vain, conceited and self-important, yet these shades in his character are without any mixtures of ill nature, insolence, or severity, but rather tinctured with benevolence; and his disposition to exalt himself is distinguished by acts of generosity and the most hospitable exertions. The next morning we dismissed our carriages and parted with the remainder of our Cornwallis friends, determining to respose a little till some means of futher conveyance should offer. Mr. Pineo sent an invitation to Mr. Morse, the dissenting teacher of Granville, who attended with his lady at dinner, and at the same time Mr. Formality [explained earlier in the book] made his appearance with a request to accompany him about five miles to his dwelling. After a serious consultation it was agreed that I should officiate the next Sunday at the meeting-house, and upon other occasions when I found myself disposed to perform service at Granville.
