Was it Sam who wrote that entry? I would think that Legolas and Gimli, being long-lived/immortal, would have stayed in Middle-earth longer than that. However, I don't know if there's a date mentioned for their departure anywhere in the Legendarium. Perhaps Elanor or one of her family wrote it; she had stayed at Aragorn and Arwen's court for awhile, so could have kept up her connection with the last members of the Fellowship to survive.
