Jacob Bailey speaks of Mr. Pineo's house as being eighteen miles from Annapolis. Mr. Pineo had been, in 1781, struck out of the Commission of the Peace at the insistence of some of his brother magistrates, who accused him of harbouring persons concerned in a riot in Granville, although no proofs of his guilt were adduced. He was a man widely known, a pioneer ship-builder and exporter, of considerable influence, and distinguished for agreeable hospitalities. Embarking for the West Indies in one of his vessels, he nor the vessel was ever heard from again."^[6]
