Zebulon Elijah (1836 or 1838 - 1910) became a state legislator and government official in Florida after having been enslaved. He was born in Santa Rosa County, Florida. Elijah served in the Florida House of Representatives from 1871 to 1873 representing Escambia County. He later became a postmaster in Pensacola from 1874 to 1878 and a tax assessor in Pensacola from 1881 to 1882.
