Biography

William Pineo was born about 1751 at Coos County, New Hampshire where his family had moved for a brief period in the early 1750s from Lebanon, New London, Connecticut. He was the son of Peter Pineo and Elizabeth (Sampson) Pineo. He removed with his family to Cornwallis, Nova Scotia in 1760.

William married Phebe Bentley, daughter of David Bentley and Anne Baldwin, on 18 Jul 1776.^[1]

William was a Lieutenant in the 1st Regiment Kings Co. in 1793. He must have been well-off for when he moved about 1803, he bought 2,000 acres of land. This area became known as Pineoville and was later named Waterville. William passed away at Waterville about 21 Jun 1825.^[2]
