Connecting the Elons

I have several Elon Carmans in my family tree:  Elon (1792-1866) ,  Elon Joseph (1840-1919) ,  Joseph Elon (1872-1956) ,  Joseph Elon (1901-1960)  in my line, and Joseph Elon (1891-1971) and  Joseph Elon (1914)  in a collateral line.

Thomas Moore was the father of Charlotte Moore, wife of Howard Ogle.
