Biography

Ezekiel Pine or Pyne was born in 1863, in Annapolis, Nova Scotia to David Pyne and Jane Dukeshire.^[1]

My great great grandfather, Ezekiel, immigrated to the US in 1885 shortly after his mother, Jane (Dukeshire) Pyne , died. His name was actually William Ezekiel Pyne,but he used his middle name as his first name. He had had an older sibling named William but that sibling died at an early age. A woman at the historical society in Nova Scotia told me it was a common practice back then that if parents lost a child they would use the name again later for a different child. Ezekiel came to the US and he first lived and worked in Massachusetts as a black smith...and then very shortly thereafter he moved to Spragueville in New Hampshire (which is now North Swanzey NH) where he worked as a mechanic for the Sprague family for a short time and then worked in a box factory in West Swanzey. He married Alice Larkin from Marlborough on May 25, 1889, and moved to property he bought in West Swanzey (Pine St in West Swanzey is named after the Pine family. The discrepancy in spelling is due to the town secretary applying her own spelling of the name). Ezekiel had assistance in building his first house from his older brother Zebulon. In addition to working in the box factory, Ezekiel also had a farm with horses and cows. He kept bees. He was a fireman on the town's fire team...and he raised two children. My mom said she remembers him as a good natured but somewhat stoic old man...not too surprising in light of his British baptist heritage. (RB)

He married Alice M Larkin 25 May 1889 in Marlborough, Cheshire, New Hampshire, daughter of Edward Larkin and Annie (___). His occupation is listed as Mechanic. ^[2] She was born Sep 1867 in Dublin, Madison Co., Ohio, and died Bef. 1930 in New Hampshire.
