Your Lawango must be LOANGO, a small village 15 miles away from nowadays Pointe-Noire in Congo. One of the main points in the slave trade.

Jean-Marie -- Thanks for your help. I was not able to find a thing until I started searching alternative spellings. There is a small piece of current Angola, called Cabinda, that is nestled in between Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Kinshasa. I believe that 18th century Port of Loango (Lawango or Luango) is located in Cabinda and that this is immediately next to Pointe-Noire in Congo. I found more information at the following web site: http://www.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/tutor/migrations/four2.html.
