I'm getting closer and closer to finding this family...... Lavinia Ann T. Lavare Vinal, was born in 1826 in Westport, MA, and died in 1907 in New Bedford, MA. She was the widow of Capt. William H. Vinal. This is what the 1880 census has to say: Lavinia A. VINAL  Self  W  Female  W  50  MA  Keeping House  VA  MA  Charles H. VINAL  Son  S  Male  W  21  MA  Grocer  MA  MA  Lillie F.

There is another daughter named Augusta Vinal who died at age 19 in 1867. Does anyone have any idea whatever happened to Charles, Lillie, or Florence Vinal? Or where I could find out?
