Note: During the Rev. War Georg was captured in New York along with his brother, Michael. Georg died in captivity in 1777. He served more than one period of service. ( from Alvin Schrey)
From "History of Berks County, PA in the Revolution, from 1774 to 1783" by Morton L. Montgomery. Michael Whitmer and George Whitmire were privates with Col. Robert Magaw's 5th Battalion of PA troops. Their Company was under the direction of Capt. John Spohn. On June 11, 1776 they were ordered to march to New York and placed under the command of Gen. Thomas Mifflin. They helped construct Fort Washington under Col. Israel Putnam, and remained there until the fighting of the Battle of Long Island Aug. 27th, when they marched back to New York, reaching that place after the battle was over. On the 28th, they went to Brooklyn, where, annoyed by continual rains, without tents, they lay upon their arms and kept up incessant firing with the British. On the 30th, they were oredered to retire, and on the 31st, came to re-occupy Fort Washington. These battalions then remained five weeks on the Harlem Heights. On Nov. 16th, the fort was invested by Gen. Howe's army and captured. Then Magaw's battalion, with others were posted in the lower lines of Harlem Heights. The superiority of the British drove all finally into the fort, when they surrendered, and they became prisoners. Many of them were paroled in December following. The men were retained as prisoners until in Jan. 1777, by which time their term of enlistment had expired. Most of the officers did not secure their release for years afterward.
George Whitmire died in New York two days before exchange.
