I'm not researching this name but . . there is a Lovinia/Lavina/Lavinia Elliott who married Joseph Garrison. They lived in Cairo. I know of at least one son named Edward. 1880 Cairo census: _Joseph GARRISON_ (http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/census/individual_record.asp?INDI_CODE=1880US_10657462_0&frompage=5) Self M Male W 52 NY Farmer NY NY _Lovina GARRISON_ (http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/census/individual_record.asp?INDI_CODE=1880US_10657462_1&frompage=5) Wife M Female W 52 NY Keeping House NY NY The census puts her birth year as 1828. Could she be your great grandpa's sister?
