There is a Virginia Gaulejean in the list of Mordecai school students I made for my dissertation's appendix from 1996. She was at the school for both 1815 sessions, and the adult name attached to her account is Louis Gaulejean.
Not much to go on, but maybe a distinctive name will help. Let's see what online sources can tell me about her now.... hmmmm. Not much comes up for the name Gaulejean at all. Maybe misspelled? Gaullejean? Gallejean? Galejean? Not turning up much of a clue for those names either.
Without the original documents or a hometown or something to go on, I don't think this one is going to be solved right now. There was a probably student named Virginia at the school in 1815. Her last name? Might have started with a G and might have been or sounded French. There might have been a father or brother named Louis. If any of this sounds familiar, leave me a comment!
