Elijah was a farmer, but one of the interesting events of his live occurred in his young adulthood. Elijah served in the Navy during the War of 1812, where it was common practice for the sailors of a victorious naval battle to divide the valuables of the captured ship. Elijah was one such sailor and received about $10,000 in gold as his share. He was also clever because he hid his in a copper canister on the banks of the Savannah river. He was captured by the British and held as a prisoner of war and later released at Charleston, South Carolina, USA.
He went back to Savannah to recover his gold. He was residing in town when without much cause when Allen Dickson came to town to buy supplies. Allen hired him to work on his farm. While working there he began courting Allen's daughter "Barbary".

It is believed that he outlived his wife as he is found living alone in the 1860 Pierce County, Georgia, USA census.
