His name is sometimes written as "Gabbard" or "Gabbard-Peters" referring to his Step-father Mathias Gabbard.

His mother was Sarah "Sally". It appears she either kept the last name of Peters when Elijah was born or her first husband was named Peters and may have died around the time of Elijah's birth.
