James Lovelady was a minister of the Christian Church (restoration movement, known as Cambellites - Karl Kiser). James and Nancy removed from White County, Tennessee, with other members of their family to Missouri by 1831, where James helped to organize the Salem Christian Church in Platte Co, Missouri. The family was in Victoria County, Texas by 1845, when James and Nancy were on the Board of the First Christian Church. James and Nancy had three children, all daughters.
(1.) Jane (married Jackson Butts on 29 Jan 1835, in Jackson Co., Missouri);
(2.) Sarah (married M. M. Jones and died in DeWitt County, Texas, in 1860); and
(3.) Ann (married A. Lee on 4 Nov 1847, in Victoria County, Texas).
Sadly, all three of James and Nancy's daughters died relatively young. However, they remained on close terms with their sons-in-law.
the following provided by Mary Ehlers, 3665 N. Bond, Fresno CA 93726:
James was born 1790-1800 according to 1840 Census (Platte Co, Missouri), married Nancy; died in Texas after 1880 when he was listed in the household of grandson George Jones in San Saba County.
James was in Missouri by 1831 when he and wife Nancy, with William Bowers and wife Catherine, deeded land to Thomas Linville. (see notes of Nancy Linville Lovelady).

Our local library has "Missouri Miscellany". It is nothing more than a hodgepodge of genealogical items that some publisher threw together into a series of volumes. From Volume I, Woodruff, 1976:
"24 Dec 1831, William Bowers and Catherine, his wife & James Lovelady and Nancy, his wife, to Thomas Linville sum of $120.00, E 1/2 of SW Quarter of Section 36, Township 50, Range 33, 80 acres. Witness: George Manship J.P., Rec 31 May 1832 Jackson County, MO)
This is all there is and probably would not be considered a 'source' as it does not give any other details like a deed would.

Dear Clerk,
Would you please send me a copy of the deed reflected in the following citation and mail to the address indicated in the letterhead. I have enclosed a check for $10.00 to cover the look-up and copy fees.

Thank you very much for your assistance.
______________________
The Salem Christian Church, Platte Co, Missouri, was organized 31 Dec 1837. Among its constituent members were James Lovelady, an Elder, and his wife Nancy. He was a minister of the Christian Church. By 1845 he was in Victoria, Texas, where was on the Board of Directors of the First Christian Congregation with Nancy Lovelady and Jackson Butts. He and his wife Nancy are shown on the 1860 Census (Dewitt Co, Texas)
1820 Smith Co , TN-
James (1797);
1 male under 10;
1 male 26-45 (1775-1794) (James 1797) a bit old
1 female under 10 (1810-1820) this would be Jane, but 1830 census did not show a daughter born before 1820.
1 female 16-26 (1794-1804) (Nancy 1800)
(This is not our James. It is the son of John Lovelady. He was born in 1760 and died in 1837 or so. John was the brother of Thomas Lovelady (John Reedy)
However, interesting that White Co formed from Smith Co in 1806.
1820 White Co, TN - James' father Thomas confirmed there, family profile fits.

1830 Missouri Census - Jackson County
1833: James Lovelady is likely to have some additional interesting details from October 1833 (Battle of Mormons or Battle of Big Blue--Kaw township, Jackson county, MO). I have not had a chance to fully follow the clues. The Mormons had a colony west of the Big Blue and there was violence because the Mormons voted in block and others took exception. A Thomas Linville was killed 31 Oct 1833. (Karl Kiser, 4 Mar 2010)

After 1860:
Letter from Mary (g-daughter) dated Dec 22, 1862 states: "He asked about Grandma & Pap (James Lovelady) he said if he knew where to write to he would write to them.... We have not heard from any of you nor Grandma and Pap."
(Nancy living in 1862)
probably between 1866-1970)
Letter from Frances (wife of George, Mary's brother, g-daughter-in-law of Loveladys) wrote from Red Rock (Central TX) in May (no further date) "Pap started down to Lavaca about two or three weeks ago. He went by Mary's. I expect he will stay there some time."
Mary was in Oak Hill, near LaGrange, TX, Oct 17th '70, per dated letter. (county?)
(This is apparently after the war as it is said that George lived in near Schulenburg in Lavaca Co. at that time, later moving to Central TX. Nancy must have died by this time.)

"The early log houses of worship gave place to frame buildings and the frames, in many instances, have been succeeded by substantial brick edifices, for instance the New Salem church has passed through all three of these stages of progress. Rev. Joab Powell was one of the first pioneer preachers in this county, James Savage, Gabriel Fitzhugh, JAMES LOVELADY and William White were also pioneer preachers."

Jane: married 1835; so she's gone.
Sarah (19) - probably newlywed living with Mara at Stephen's.
Ann married in 1847. If this is Sarah -- then where is Ann? Ann would be under 10 per the 1830 census when she wasn't born yet. This has to be Ann even though it's the wrong age group. That means Sarah isn't accounted for here.

Religion:
On record as having performed marriages in Lavaca County during this time period.
Residence:
Mary writes, "I had lost all trace of Pa's and George's whereabouts. I had written to Henry Shapes to know if he knew where Grandpa was. I have not received an answer."
"Mr. Dabney and Brother came by on their way home from Lyons where they had been holding a meeting. He said they had seen Grandpa and George."
Lyons is in Burleson County, but this only indicates there were at a meeting there. Perhaps they were living nearby. Frances writes a letter, estimated as 1877, stating she had "not heard from Burleson" She and George were in Red Rock and she stated that James Lovelady had left there - so, not sure who was in Burleson.
Census:
Frances living in Red Rock, dates her letter simply "May." Guessing this is about 1877. She writes to Susan Bounds Butts
"Pap started down to Lavaca about two or three weeks ago. He went by Mary's. I expect he will stay there some time. I got a letter from Mary the same day I got yours. She was well and doing well."
Leonard surmised Mary was in Burleson, but that would not be enroute from Red Rock to Lavaca. Perhaps this was after Nancy died, or perhaps it was after Mr. Norton died. Mary might have still been living near LaGrange.
Census:
In 1880 Census, James Lovelady age 82 is living with George and Frances, San Saba Co, Texas, (abt 120 m NW of Austin, halfway between Austin & Abilene).
