I have Laban's probate if you are interested. However, it does not mention anything more of Elizabeth Thompson or her spouse, besides in the will itself. In that will her portion goes to the "heirs of Elizabeth A Thompson" so I would guess that she died before 1852. Three of Laban's children died before he did: Elizabeth, Melissa and John C.
