Additional Information

Enslaved by John Rice.
According to the 1860 census, John W. Rice was 67 years old, and he owned four slaves: a 15-year-old black female, a 9-year-old mulatto male, a 9-year-old black male, and a 5-year-old mulatto female.
There is an enslaved person named Levina (EnslavedPerson:18427) listed in connection to John Rice, but it is not proven if this is the same person as Lavinia.
