Notes:
Due to a land sale of James Jr that John Reedy found and a 1820 census for James Sr, we think that James who went to Collins Co, Texas, was indeed, James & Nancy's son. I assume that Amos also had a son James since there was a confusion of the two.
from Karl Kiser (3/2/10) James Lovelady jr is not a son of James Lovelady sr (Nancy probably Linville?) according to Wilma Moore. She researched the issue and concluded that James jr is the son of Amos son of Marshall. The use of sr and jr can also mean older and younger rather than father and son. James sr would then be a second cousin to James jr.
note, through all the letters and research of the three Lovelady sisters, and James and Nancy, nothing indicated there was more than the three girls who all died as young women.
Article by Wilma Moore that Karl referred to is attached.

I am Teresa Lovelady Partlow. I'm from Kenneth Ray Lovelady b:1932, Earnest Milford Lovelady, Pleasant Travis Lovelady b:1852, James Lovelady b:1816 (husband of Catherine Travis). I've tracked my Lovelady line through Texas, Platte Co. MO, White Co., TN, Greene Co., TN and North Carolina. I have more info back home in Salt Lake City in binders. Let me know if you're still working on this line and I'll send what I have. Merry Christmas.

Name:
He is sometimes shown as James L. Lovelady (such as findagrave and other places); however:
(from Wilma Moore via Karl Kiser)
"James Lovelady never had a middle name. Last night I dug out my photos from Oct. 1997 when I went to Fitzhugh Cemetery. I used shaving cream on the tombstones that I photographed. They are clear as day. His name is "James Lovelady"; no middle initial.
www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=76357646
I have all kinds of records on him, including Mexican War, Civil War, land records, and his Lovelady bible records. I have been to the cemetery and photographed his grave as well as those of other family members. He has never had a middle initial of "L" or any other middle initial.
The "junior" designation/reference to him in Missouri church records is most likely to distinguish him from the older cousin James (***your line*** ) in the same congregation."
Religion:
James and Elizabeth were among five charter members of Forest Grove Christian Church, as noted in Elizabeth's obituary in the McKinney Democrat. James was serving as a church deacon in September 1850, according to J. B. Wilmoth's [sic] report to the editor of Christian Record, a church newspaper published in Bloomington, Indiana.
from: Lovelady,_James_Eurath_Lewis_by_Moore_2_.doc
Military:
"Shortly after his Texas arrival, James enlisted 24 July 1846, to fight in the Mexican War, serving in Captain Andrew Ste[a]pp's Independent Company of Texas Mounted Volunteers. Wife Elizabeth later received a pension on James' Mexican War service."
