It is my understanding that I can disable my touchscreen by adding Option "Ignore" "on" to this file 

          /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

 Section "InputClass"
          Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
          MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
          MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
          Driver "evdev"
          EndSection

so it would look like this

 Section "InputClass"
          Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
          MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
          MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
          Driver "evdev"
          Option "Ignore" "on"
          EndSection

What would happen if I simplied changed MatchIsTouchscreen to "off"?

 Section "InputClass"
          Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
          MatchIsTouchscreen "off"
          MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
          Driver "evdev"
          EndSection

Would this disable my touchscreen?

Edited file the file with 

sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

Changed MatchIsTouchscreen from "on" to "off"

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
        MatchIsTouchscreen "off"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
        EndSection

"ELAN touchscreen" is disabled and no longer detected in xinput list.
