Biography

See also: Chambers Plantation

Joseph Chambers was a businessman in Salisbury, N.C., before his father's death, but moved home and continued the planting operation after his father died. He built the family home, called Farmville, around 1820. In the Chambers family papers the first page states "This day my father died and I became the proprietor of the plantation. This day my wife and self moved from Salisbury to father's old house. 1818^[1]

Joseph's son, Pinckney Brown Chambers (1821-1905) also planted at Farmville. During the Civil War, he raised a company from Iredell and Rowan counties and served as major with the 49th North Carolina Regiment. He was wounded at the Battle of Malvern Hill. After the war, he struggled to continue farming operations at Farmville with little help. Old and infirm, Pinckney and his wife, Justina Avery Chambers, sold the farm and moved into Statesville in 1898. After his wife's death, Pinckney moved to the Charlotte home of his eldest son, Joseph Lenoir Chambers (1854-1925), where he died in 1905.^[1]

Slaves

The Chambers family had many slaves, most of which lived on the Farmville Plantation. Joseph Chambers, and then his son, Pinckney B. Chambers, kept plantation records. They recorded the names, birth dates, and death dates of the enslaved, as well as how they were related to one another.^[1]

In the Chambers family papers there are a number of enslaved who were sent to "the Mississippi plantation" about 1835-1836 (aka Chambers Plantation). This plantation was jointly owned between Joseph Chambers and his nephew, Joseph F. Chambers, the son of Maxwell Chambers Joseph's brother. The Mississippi Plantation, located in Lowndes Co, MS, was sold to Mr. John and Joseph Toland, along with some of the enslaved.^[2][3][1]

Pinckney B. Chambers purchased another plantation that he called the River Plantation just before the Civil War. It was on the Yadkin River in NC. It is unknown how many enslaved were on that plantation. His plantation notes reveal that some of the enslaved had children born there. (see heading below for those born at the River Plantation)^[1]
