Ann Maria Kimball was born to Nathaniel Kimball (1777-1821) and Sarah Knight (1780-1849) on April 9, 1804 in Plaistow, New Hampshire. She married David Pingree (1795-1863) in 1824. They had seven children: Thomas Perkins (1830-1876); Asa (1833-1846); David (1835-1836); Annar (1839-1911); David (1841-1932); Ann Maria (1843-1844); Ann Maria (1846-1927). She died on March 20, 1893 in Salem, Massachusetts.

Her daughter Annar Perkins (1839-1911), known as Anna, married Joseph Peabody in 1866. They had no children.

Her younger daughter Ann Maria (1846-1927), known as Maria, married Stephen G. Wheatland in 1869. They had three children.

Her sister, Abigail Knight Kimball (1806-1847) married Dr. Sewall Brown (1798-1850) in 1828. Brown (also spelled Browne) was a graduate of Dartmouth College, and a prominent physician and resident of Hampton Falls, New Hampshire. He hanged himself on March 3, 1850. Together they had five children: Ann Maria (1829-1850), Warren (d. 1850), Augustus Sewall (1834-1892), Belinda (1835-1884), and Elbridge Kimball (1840-1869).

Her nephew mentioned above, Augustus Sewall Brown (1834-1892), married Florence V. Rogers in 1870. She remarried in 1884, but a record of their divorce could not be found. His aunt was named a beneficiary of his will upon his death in 1892. His estate was not settled until 1895, two years after his aunt’s decease. David Pingree (1841-1932) received the distributive share of $1570.31 on behalf of his mother. In a letter dated January 9, 1896 David wrote “It is the desire of her children and heirs, namely Mrs. Anna P. Peabody, Mrs. Ann Maria Wheatland and myself to give the above sum to the Brown Library Association of Seabrook, New Hampshire, to be held as a permanent fund, the income only to be used for the purposes of the Association.”

Her brother, Edward Dearborn Kimball (1810-1867), married their cousin, Susan Sawyer Kimball (1818-1902) in 1839. They had one child that survived to adulthood, Frank Reed Kimball (1853-1924).
