Lavina Ross is a widowed head of household on the 1865 census of Marmaton, Bourbon County, KS. Also in the household were two daughters: L. E. (b ca 1861 KS) and M. A. (b ca 1863 KS).

That census shows that Lavinia was born ca 1838 in IL; earlier records place her birth ca 1834-35. Her husband was George W. Ross and she was evidently still a widow in Nov 1866 when she signed a deed wrt land inherited from her father.

I cannot locate Lavinia after that date, nor have I located information about her daughters and/or husband's death. Any help would be appreciated. I have information about her ancestors to share.
