1883 History of St. Clair County MO, National Historical Co., pg. 1168:
James Madison Delozier owes his nativity to South Carolina, where he was
born in 1813. Edward H. Delozier, his father, born in Maryland in 1779, was
married in 1812 to Miss Frances Dyre, a Virginian by birth, who was born in
1784. James M. Delozier is recognized as being one of the earliest settlers
of this county, having come here while it was in its unimproved state, and
after years of toil and privations, encountering many difficulties, has
succeeded in securing a landed estate of 140 acres on King's Prairie,
situated out of the line of bluffs bordering Weaubleau Creek. In 1847 he was
married to Melissa Jane Todd, daughter of John B. Todd, of this county. They
have had fourteen children: George W., Joseph J., Mary C., James E., William
J., Martha J., Rebecca F., John A., Francis M., Henry, Robert, John W.,
Margaret and Lucy A. Politically, he is a Republican of the strongest type.
During the late war he served in the Eighth Missouri under Colonel McClurg.
