So I’ve played around with the various Mary Murphys in the Town of Hartford, based on what I know about Laurence’s wife, but there are just too many variables, even with the two individuals I may have narrowed her down to in 1870:
Name

In short, Laurence's wife could be anywhere in 1870. I need something more tangible to find her.
