( There is no John Charles Elam, Sr. Dr. James attended the birthing and filled out the birth certificate. When he asked the name of the child he was told John Charles Elam. Since he knew the father as John Elam, he appended the Jr. to the childs name and filed and recorded it with the state. They never bothered correcting it.)
