Elias was a Private in the 34th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry under Colonel Leventhorpe. Elias' father, James, and many of his brothers also fought in the war.[6] Most of the Greens in this area enlisted in the 55th Regiment, Co.D "Cleveland Farmers", although James and Elias did not. They also did not enlist for the same regiment.[7]
