Lavina Laughner
d.Aft 1860
Facts and Events
Lavina lived with her sister Eliza during the 1850 US Federal Census.
An African-American genealogist on ancestry.com has linked the 1850 and 1860 census records. Seems reasonable. Lavina is from Tennessee. Her race is white. Her children are listed as mulatto and are with an African-American man in 1870.
Son Mack's Death Certificate lists his parents as Young Cargle and Vinia Cargle.

Biography
Lavinia was born about 1834. She is sometimes mixed up in genealogy trees with Lavinia Vernacia Laughner, who seems to be the daughter of John Laughner and Mary Rader and was born in Tennessee in 1835. Lavinia Vernacia Laughner married William Alfred Boyer in 1852 and lived in Carter Co, Missouri until her death.
This Lavinia is most likely the daughter of Peter Laughner and Elizabeth Cagle. Her descendants are closely genetically related to the descendants of Elizabeth Cagle's parents, Johannes and Lucy Cagle.
Based on census records, Lavinia's family moved to Greene County, Tennessee form North Carolina in the late 1840s before moving to Alabama in 1848-1849. Lavinia began working as a domestic servant for Mourning Cargile in Marshall County, AL around late 1853, after Mourning was declared "non mentis compos" (mentally unstable) due to old age.
Lavinia had at least 4 children with Young Cargile, a mixed race slave of Mourning Cargile's who was about 30 years her senior. The children, who were born Free People of Color, were: -Mary Ella Cargle b. 1854 -William Cargle b. 1856 -Rev. Jackson Monroe Cargle b. 1858 -(Peter) Mack Cargle b. 1864
Lavinia's brother, Monroe Laughner, died in Lamar County, Georgia in 1864.
In 1860, Lavinia appears in the Census for Marshall County, Alabama, in the household of her employer, Mourning Cargile. Her three (3) eldest children are listed with the last name Laughner. Lavinia's son, the future Reverend Jackson M. Cargle, said that after being bullied out of school by the local white children, he was educated in reading the Bible by his mother's sister. That sister may have been (Katherine) Lucinda Laughner Whittenberg, who lived not too far away from the Cargile plantation in 1860.
It is unsure what happened to Lavinia after the birth of her son, Mack, in 1864. Her son, Jackson, told his descendants that his mother died prior to the end of the Civil War. As a result, their formerly enslaved father was forced to leave the plantation with his children. In 1867/1868, Young and his four children moved to Lawrence County, Alabama, where they are living in the 1870 Census without Lavinia.
However, Lavinia's eldest daughter, Mary, told her descendants that her mother and another woman arrived in Lawrence County on a covered wagon from Marshall or Madison County and insisted that her children had been taken from her and she wanted them returned. Lavinia and the other woman were eventually turned away. Whatever happened to Lavinia there is no known record of her after the Civil War. [1]
