↑ The birth record appears to say Elijah Lavoy, definitely an L as the first letter of the middle name. Nonetheless, some indexes read it as Elijah Savoy, but given that he is buried as Leroy E., it presumably is intended to be Elijah Leroy. Source:Temple, Josiah Howard. History of the Town of Northfield, Massachusetts, for 150 Years gives the name as Elijah E. but no basis for that variation has been seen.
