William was a native of North Carolina, born June 5. 1793, and, with the exception of the time of his service in the War of 1812, spent most of his life in agricultural pursuits, though he took great interest in the various business enterprises of his sons.

For several years Mr. and Mrs. Chambers resided in Kentucky, and then removed to Indiana, where they made their home for twenty-one years. In 1836 they started for what was then the Far West, reaching Muscatine, Iowa, on the 11th of May. They located in the town now known as Fairport, there residing for two years, when they removed to a farm which Mr. Chambers engaged in cultivating until 1865, when he moved to Muscatine City, and there resided until the time of his death, which occurred in 1874.
