James S. Lincecum was born 28 November 1858, possibly in Washington County, Texas, to Lucullus Garland Lincecum and Edna Caroline "Kate" Lauderdale. James lived just 25 years, and died 13 March 1884 in Las Animas, Colorado. His body was returned to the home of his parents in Lampasas, Texas, and buried in Oak Hill Cemetery.

Notes:
- I have seen several references to James S. and his brother John L. being twins. The only records I've come across to suggest this is census. Tombstones for each show the same birth month and day, but different years (1855 for John, and 1858 for James).
