Maureen,

It's been my understanding that this means the person was indigenous
and did farmwork - as in "labor" which means farmwork and "laborio"
being the adjective form. I realize that you noted the script uses
a 'v' rather than a 'b', but these letters have been quite
interchangeable in most records.

To my knowledge, it did not have anything to do with the name of a
tribe.

Hope this is helpful.
