A photo of Laura's headstone is now available, indicating that she was forty when she died. Her birthdate of 1798 is listed in the biographies of her parents, George Shepard and Abigail Mix. The date of 1783 listed in the Ely genealogy would indicate she would've been born between her half-siblings. Research by Cynthia Lapham
