No. Joseph Smith was not a slave owner. He believed that all men are children of God and therefore should be treated with equality, love, and respect. During Joseph Smith's leadership, freed slaves were welcome to join the Church, and were given equal treatment as the white members. Also, Joseph Smith was a Northerner, slavery was illegal in most Northern states by that time.
Joseph Smith was anti-slavery, but he followed the law and would not allow blacks to be baptized into the church unless they were freed by their owners or legally purchased their freedom.
There is one story of a freed slave who was selling liquor in Nauvoo in order to earn enough money to buy his son's freedom. He was arrested, as selling liquor in the city was against the law. When the man explained to Joseph (who was the mayor of Nauvoo) why he was selling liquor, Joseph Smith gave him his horse and told him to sell the horse to buy the child's freedom.
Joseph Smith is quoted as saying this about slavery: "it makes my blood boil within me to reflect upon the injustice, cruelty, and oppression of the rulers of the people." (March 1842, History of the Church 4:544)

Upon his birth, Joseph Smith was named Joseph Smith. Throughout his life he was called Joseph Smith, Jr. because his father's name is also Joseph Smith. His son was named Joseph Smith, III.
