THE CHINNES FAMILY OF HEMINGWAY SOUTH CAROLINA
by DIANNE CHINNES and EUNICE CHINNES LENTZ
Sarah Chinners was born January 17, 1828, and died April 4, 1897, according to the Lambert family history. She married Benjamin G. F. Lambert, who lived in the area, and they eventually moved to Hemingway. Hemingway grew from Lamberts Crossroads, which was named for a Lambert descendant.
Joseph Benjamin Chinners, an apparent ancestor of the Hemingway Chinnes family, was born about 1829. Hardy Chinners was involved in numerous land transactions in the early 1820s. The Lambert family history recorded that his plantation of 1,734 acres was assembled in three transactions dating from 1900. For some unexplained reason, the Marion County sheriff seized the Chinners land and sold it at public auction around 1830. a David Gibson of Marion County bought the land and his subsequent deeding of 50-acre tracts of land to each of the two children indicated "a close family friendship must have existed," according to the Lambert family history.
Court records show that Sarah Chinners' husband, Benjamin Lambert, in 1848 sold her 50 acres to her brother, Benjamin Chinnes. This deed was recorded in Marion County in 1854. No further reference to Hardy Chinners was found in the Marion County censuses or court records after 1830. But the life of his son, and apparently his son's son, became closely linked to the family of Timothy Stanley, a farmer in the Britton Neck area. Stanley must have been a close relative or an intimate friend of the Chinners clan.
