Gerhard Elsken was baptized Ferdinand Gerhard Ilsken. He was born in Hoevelhof, Kreis Paderborn, Northrhine-Westphalia, Germany, then part of Prussia. His father was Heinrich Rampsel and his mother was Catherine Maria Ilsken. Her parents according to church records were Jodocus Georgius Ilsken and Anna Maria Wille. They had no sons so their son-in-law Heinrich Rampsel took the surname Ilsken in order to inherit their property which he passed to his son Gerhard. Gerhard sold the land and moved to the united states in 1859, his older brother had been living in the US since 1854. The name Ilsken was anglicanized to Elsken sometime after that point.

He was the father of 11 children by 2 different wives.
He married Anna Maria Elizabeth Brinkschneider in Hoevelhof in 1846. He married Theodora Musenbrock on 6 Apr 1861 in Germantown, Clinton County, Illinois. .
