Biography
| Anecdote | John Jacob Chambers was in the Revolutionary War (1774-1783), serving as a Captain under General Francis Marion (the Swamp Fox). He took his family from Camden, S. C., near Georgetown, when he determined to seek a newer country than South Carolina, where he could settle his son and daughters around him in life and business. He first settled in Tennessee for three years, arriving there in 1804. Three years later, now liking Tennessee, he loaded his family and servants on a flatboat and descended the Tennessee River, and on down the Mississippi River to near the mouth of Cole's Creek (in Miss.) A year later they reloaded the same craft and continued down the Mississippi, landing at the present location of Baton Rouge, La., in February 1810. Some of the party went on down to where the Bayou Manachac joined the flooded Mississippi, then up the Manachacto the Amite River, then up that to where it joined the Comite River, near present Denham Springs. They settled there for the rest of their lives. He and some neighbors built what may have been the first Methodist Church in Louisiana, certainly the first in that part of the state, known as Old Salem Church. The building continued in use until the Civil War, when raiders tore it down and used the wood for fires. It was built of cypress planks. | |
