Jesse Whitmire (W6/1.3), son of Stephen Whitmire (W7/1.1) and Mary Porter Whitmire (P7/1.1), was born in Pendleton District in 1789. He was married February 3, 1809 in Woodville, Mississippi to Nancy Durden (D6/3.4), according to Wilkinson County, Mississippi Marriage Book BB, page 98.

"John Durdino filed a claim of land by settlement Aug. 1810," and "Jesse Whitmiar filed a claim of land by settlement Dec. 1810," according to "Claims West of Pearl River." Later when Washington Parish was organized from St. Tammany they were located in the new parish.

He posted a $500 bond to insure that a grant from the U.S. government would be forthcoming, according to the deed which was recorded February 10, 1814. The city of Bogalusa, Louisiana is now located on this land, according to Audrey Helan Murphy Schneider (M2/1.1).

"My oldest sister (age 72) just this week recalled my mother calling one of the Ace Whitmires 'Uncle Ace.' I find an Ace Whitmire in the 1910 Soundex of Williamson County enumerated with a Frank M. Calder as U. (uncle?). If so this would have to be "Brushy Ace" Whitmire. I found a record of a marriage between Poncy [Poney?] Whitmire and Margaret Bounds [Pounds], Williamson County, in 1879 [March 6, Marriage Book 5, page 10]. So I assume that Ace and Poncy are the same, though there is certainly no clue in those names for 'Brushy.' My mother's half sister, Emma Sides was married to a Rad or Ransom Calder, but I do not know if Frank is their son. I find Frank Calder, age 20, in the 1880 census of Bastrop County, Texas enumerated as "lodger" in the household of Andrew Whiteley."
