He was enumerated in the 1790 census of Pendleton County, District 96, page 83 as the head of a household composed of "two males over 16, one male under 16 and three fe­males" in an adjacent location to his father.

                                white male       0-10"

 

Michael Whitmire, Jr. (W7/1.2) died July 1, 1819, according to the research of Lynda Dorene Whitmire Wright (W1/3.3), however a Michael Whitmire, possibly (W7/1.2), reap­peared in the 1820 census of Pendleton District as the head of a household composed of:

 

       "Whitmire, Michael       white male      over 45

                                white female    over 45"

                                white female    26-45

                                white male       0-10

                                one slave"

 

He sold 45 acres of land "on the Saluda" to his brother Michael Whitmire III (W6/2.5) in 1840, according to Pickens County Deed Book D-1, page 336.  He sold an additional 86 acres to R. G.

Michael Whitmire III (W6/2.5), son of Michael Whitmire Jr. (W7/1.2) and Nancy Whit­mire, was born June 27, 1798, probably in Pendleton District.  He was married about 1820 to Mary Finlay (F6/1.2) who was born May 3, 1804, according to Lynda Dorene Whit­mire Wright (W1/3.3), a descendant.  Mary Finlay (F6/1.2) was possibly a sister to the husband of Rebecca Whitmire (W6/2.4).

 

Michael Whitmire III (W6/2.5) was enumerated as the head of a household in the 1820 census of Pendleton District, page 86, listed as:

 

        "Whitmire, Michael      white male      18-26

                                one slave"

 

Located nearby were the households of "Christopher Whitmire [(W7/1.6)], Samuel Whit­mire [(W7/1.5)], Jeremiah Whitmire [(W6/2.2)] and [a second] Christopher Whitmire [unidentified]."

 

Michael Whitmire III (W6/2.5) sold 100 acres of land that he had inherited to his brother Martin Whitmire (W6/2.6) May 28, 1821.  The land was located on the South Fork of Saluda River and adjoined the land of R. M. Earles, John Hunt and Martin Whitmire (W6/2.6), according to Pendleton District (Pickens County) deed records.

 

In 1842 he sold to H. Cleveland Hunt 230 acres on the Saluda River, according to Pick­ens County deed records.  In the same year he sold 26 acres on Crooked Creek to James McAdam.

 

He appeared as the head of a household in 1850 census of Greenville County, South Car­olina.  He was shown as a farmer with $2,500 in real estate.  Mary Finlay Whitmire (F6/1.2) died August 3, 1869, and he was remarried a few months later to Martha Lang­ford (L6/1.1) who was born in 1803.  Haskell Pruett shows her year of birth as 1814.

 

He wrote his will April 16, 1870:
