I know almost nothing about Virginia Caroline outside of the census records. There is some discrepancy about her age. In the 1860 census, when she was still in Hill's household, it looks like she is shown as age 25, but that would mean she was born in 1835. This was probably a slip on someone's part; she should probably be shown as 35, born in 1825. She appears twice in the 1850 census. She is in Hill's household when it was enumerated on 1850-08-21 as ``Virginia'', and in the household of one Joseph Payne in District 71, Polk County, Missouri, when it was enumerated on 1850-10-18.
Caroline Pippin never married. Taught school in Hickory Co., Mo. and reported to have left valuable library at death.
``Virginia'' was penned in as a first name after the typescript had been created.
1850: She appears as ``Caroline'' in the household of Hill Pippin, enumerated on August 21, 1850 in Dallas County, age [...]; and also in the household of Joseph C. Payne, age 62, from TN, as Caroline VC Pippin, age 22 [c1828], enumerated October 18, 1850.
1860: She appears as Virginia in the household of Hill Pippin in Hickory County, but her age is given as 25 (c1835).
