In 1852 she married James S. Lauderdale in Montgomery County, Texas (per Sandy Avery).
Note: After the death of her husband James S. Lauderdale at the hands of the Comanche Indians, Elizabeth and her children moved into the home of her brother Asa Henson who was caring for their aged parents Joseph T. Henson and Mary Thomas along with their own children.
"It was Asa Henson's sister, Elizabeth Henson Lauderdale, who was presently a widow with a large family of children to support because warriors among Chief Santana's tribe had murdered her husband three years prior: James S. Lauderdale was murdered and scalped on November 22, 1867, as he traveled between his log cabin home and that of his neighbor John W. Brummett, about two miles from Carroll's Creek. Lauderdale was returning a borrowed wagon and team to Brummett when the scalping took place. At this very moment, the Lauderdale children were being cared for by Asa, and by Asa's aged mother and father; one Lauderdale
daughter, Amira, had been adopted by a nearby family."
