HI DORIS: I dont have any connection to the name Lavender at all. BUT, it was Lu Harrison (see below) who had posted the Lavender info....so I'm "cc'ing" her on this email, and you can email her, or she can email you and you can share info! Good luck to you both! Let us know on the Wilkinson Co. list if you and Lu find you have some common ancestors!!! Good luck! *TINA/CA* List Mgr.
