Elias was enumerated in the Ware County Census of 1840, likely before his final stint of the Indian War. 1850 finds Elias still residing in Ware County. While in his fourties, Elias made several land transactions. These transactions are as follow:

He moved about 1857 into Clinch County and settled in the 1141st (Wiregrass) district near the present Ramah Church. Elias bought lots 238 and 239 in the 12th District from J.C. Nichols on 11/17/1866 (QQ-652). There were 980 acres of land.

He owns 490 acres of land valued at $800, has $50 in cash/solvent debt, and personal property in the amount of $300 for a personal net worth of $1150. This land is plot 239, in district 12, in GMD 1141 in Clinch County.

He lost the place through foreclosure during 1872 back to Nichols, though he and his family continued to live there as a tenant after the foreclosure. Elias died there on 10/1/1894. Nancy passed away in 1892.
Wife Nancy was one of the organizing members of the Ramah Primitive Baptist church when it was established and she was baptised April 15, 1876. Elias followed on 5/19/1881 and both died as members. They are interred in Ramah Church Cemetery. The church and cemetery are located off Highway 441, eleven miles south of Homerville, Georgia, near Crews Island. Judge Folks Huxford cited Elias D. Waldron in one of his many books, "The History of Clinch County", as one of that county's earliest settlers.

General:
Civil War Pvt. Co. E 26 GA Regt. CSA 4/18/61.
WALDRON, Elias D., Jr. - Private April 18, 1861. Killed at Monocacy, Md. July 9, 1864.
This regiment was formed in March, 1862, in Savannah, Georgia. It served with the Army of Northern Virginia for July, 1862 until it's surrender at Appomattox Court House, except during Longstreet's 1863 expedition to Georgia and Tennessee. Upon reaching Virginia, it was assigned to Drayton's Brigade. During the Battle of Antietam, the regiment was assigned to Toomb's Brigade. After the battle, the 50th Regiment was permanently assigned to Paul Jones Semmes's Brigade.
The 26th Georgia Regiment was under the command of General Robert E. Lee during the War of Southern Independence. South Georgia boys were fighting the battles of Northern Virginia while Sherman was marching through Georgia.
Researchers are reminded that the 26th Georgia Regiment was heavily involved in battle skirmishes throughout their 3 ½ year campaign in Northern Virginia. No other Civil War campaign lasted as long. Surviving the natural elements of Virginia, as well as fierce battles against federal troops was their number one priority. Pen and paper maintenance of Company records took a distant, less priority to loading-ramming and shooting of weapons. Numerous records and accounts were destroyed through the natural evolution of events. Information assembled by Thomas Earl Cleland for the edification of Brantley County descendants and genealogists
