I presume you already know this, but there were TWO James M. Yates in Lamar Co. in the 1880 census, both with sons named James and both James about the same age..one 15 and one 16. Is there a possibility that your guy could be the child of James M. Yates age 42 (in 1880) born in TX and his wife E.C. (Nielson) Yates age 46 born in NC. There was a William N. Yates, brother of James, also in the houshold..age 18. Also Melvin Yates, age 18 who was a brother of James Sr. and Emma Yates, sister of James Sr.
Pery H. Nielson, father in law was also in household.
I think there was a marriage record in Lamar Co. for James and Elizabeth Nielson around 1860, if I recall.
