Elbert died in 1914 at age 90; while it's not exactly a rare name, the fathers of both Charles and Elbert were named Henry. More info on the Pinney House here:

I did find a family connection but it is many generations back. Elbert's 5x great grandfather is Charles Lee's 5x great grandfather, Humphrey Pinney, born in England in either 1598 or 1605. Humphrey was the one who came to America, in 1630. Some family genealogy websites note that Humphrey came to American on the ship "Mary and John" and that they arrived in Boston Harbor on May 30, 1630.
