Since you have no way of getting them, I looked up Elias Mann, and got two hits. They were both Epitaphs, in Northampton, Hampshire Co. In Memory of Mr. Elias Mann, who died May 12, 1825, in the 75th year of his age. Also 5 children. ‘The memory of the justice is blessed’. Asenath, Relic of Elias Mann. Died April 22, 1842, AE 78. Obviously, this cannot be your Elias, who you say was born in 1794/5. But they could be his parents.

He is wearing a cut away formal coat over pin strip pants, not a typical uniform, the belt looks like some thing worn by a band, the rifle look old, but real and side arms look like a small sword. He may have been in the Civil War and was in the GAR. Just some thoughts. Nancy
