Oba Jimoh Oladunni Oyewumi, Ajagungbade III, was born Prince Jimoh Oladunni Oyewumi on 27 May 1926 into the Royal House of Oluwusi in the town of Ogbomosho to the reigning king, Oba Bello Afolabi Oyewumi, Ajagungbade I, and one of his queens, Seliat Olatundun Oyewumi. 

His father had many wives and 63 children, and had 31 daughters and 32 sons. He was the youngest of his mother's three sons. He was born in the tenth year of his father's reign.

His paternal grandfather was Oba Gbagungboye Ajamasa, Ajagungbade I, who reigned from 1869 – 1871 (or 1870 – 1877). His great-grandfather was Oluwusi Aremu who reigned from 1826 to 1840. Oluwusi was a half brother of Toye Akanni Alebiosu of Ogbomoso, the 7^th Aare Ona Kakanfo of the Oyo Empire and also a Soun of Ogbomoso.

Oluwusi's father was Ikumoyede Ajo, the latest Soun's great-great grandfather, who ruled Ogbomoso from 1770 – 1790. Ikumoyede's father, Oba Ajagungbade III's great-great-great grandfather, was Erinsbaba Alamu Jogioro, who was the second Soun of Ogbomoso, and regarded as a strong and brave warrior. He ruled from 1741 – 1770. Jogioro's father was the first Soun of Ogbomoso, Olabanjo Ogunlola Ogundiran, who founded the town of Ogbomoso in the mid 17^th century.
