Lavinia was the daughter of Peter Stephens and Anna Maria Chrisman.
She married on Jan 20, 1787, Montgomery County, Virgina, to William Winters.
Besides the children linked below, they are said to have had Moses (1795-1846) and Henry.

It is highly unlikely Lavinia died in Lake City, Kansas. Her husband died in Indiana in 1847 also the year of Lavinia's death. None of her children were in Kansas in that time period and at almost 90 it would be illogical for her to be living there on her own. Her son Larkin eventually lived in Lake City but not until after 1870. Livinia is likely buried with her husband in Indiana.

I do not have any info about Lavinia living in Kansas, but I did go to Winters/Winter Cemetery in Owen County, IN, on September 20, 2020, and I found a tombstone that had the first two letters of William Winters' wife's name-- "La." However, if this is Lavinia, then her parents listed on her tombstone are different than her parents listed on Find A Grave, because the tombstone showed that her parents first names started with a "J." and and "R." On the other hand, Find A Grave listed Lavinia's parents as Peter and Anna. Lavinia is my 4 X great grandmother.
