Jan,
James is a family name through several generations of the Tapscott family. If your Robert named his oldest son James it was probably after the childs paternal grand father James. That makes the Alabama Robert Tapscott more than likely your connection.
However that still is a Virginia connection as Robert came to Alabama via Davidson , Tennessee, from Virginia's western side and prior to that his grandfather was from here in Lancaster.
Again the important question I have is what church were they in?This is helpful indetermining the line. Not 100% foolproof but usually right on.
