Elkanah Roby was not Jewish. Elkanah is a Biblical name, and was a rather common name at that time. This Elkanah Roby was not the only Elkanah Roby of his day. There were two others that I know of. I imagine that there is a family connection to the more known one, but I haven't been able to find sources to link him to the known Roby families.
