Abbeville County Marriages, Larry E. Pursley, p.2: Mike Alewine and Kumrix Hinton Jarrett, cir. 1891, source Abbeville Press Banner. Talitha may have been married before to an unknown Hinton.
1910 US Census, Due West Township, Abbeville County, SC, April 20, 1910:
William, 49, is a farmer who rents his farm. William and Talitha, 45, have been married 22 years and have had 14 children with 12 living. Neither William nor Talithia can read or write.
1920 US Census, Due West Township, Abbeville County, SC, January 20, 1920:
William, 63, and Talitha, 55, have had their 15th child, Billy, age 9. Three of their grandchildren with the last name Hinton are also living with the family. Children of Burdie and her common law husband.
South Carolina Death Certificate #16000:
Mike Alewine, age 60, died September 18, 1920. He was a married farmer, born in South Carolina. His parents names were not known by the informant, M. T. Smith, (probably daughter Mattie) but were believed to have been born in South Carolina. Cause of death was mitral heart trouble with bright's disease of the kidney as a contributing factor. He had been treated for four months by Dr. B. Carlton of Donalds, South Carolina. He was buried on September 19, 1920 at Little River (Baptist Church Cemetery), Honea Path, South Carolina. W. A. Shirley of Honea Path is listed as undertaker.
It is not clear where William Mike Alewine fits into the family tree. Is he the son of Ephraim Alewine (b. 1794) as the late Alton Alawine suggested? I think probably so, but Ancestry DNA testing of some of his ancestors could go a long way to proving this.
Alton Alawine, who has done more than anyone else to piece together the Alewine genealogy, gave three reasons for calling him Ephraim's son: 1.) William named his first born Ephraim. 2.)Four of William's sons have the same names as Ephraim's sons: James, John, Jacob and Joseph; and 3.) William just doesn't seem to fit anywhere else. There's another reason unknown to Alton at the time: 4.) William's middle name was Mike. Ephraim's father's name was Michael.
