Some genealogies seem to have mixed info about this Lavinia, also reported as Louisa in the 1860 census in Fannin County, Texas, with a Lavinia Christian, also married to a James Christian, but in Atchison County, Missouri. That couple was reported in the 1850 census for Atchison County, Missouri. That Lavinia died in Atchison County in 1853, and her James continued to live there with other families until he died in 1871. He was reported there in the 1870 census. The Missouri Lavinia was born in Virginia, while our Lavinia Louisa was born in Tennessee. The Missouri couple are buried together in Atchison County, Missouri.
