in the household of Henry and Nancy Roberts:
son: John E Roberts, born Mar 1882 (age 18) in Alabama

This census shows siblings born in Jan 1879 (Mamie, nickname for Mary Nevada) and Aug 1880 (Della). The former is 1 year old in the 1880 census (Nevada) and the latter is not in the 1880 census, which suggests these dates are likely correct. This would suggest that John was born in Mar 1882, not Mar 1881.

His name is given as James E Roberts

This appears to be the only place he is called James, and is assumed to be a simple error in the census record. However, many trees have incorporated him as James Edward Roberts.
