She had always been friends with Isaac, who was taken in by her father after the death of his parents (see Captain Isaac Biddlecomb), but she didn't begin to have romantic feelings toward him until she was seventeen or so and he was attacked by a British frigate in By Force of Arms.

She first appears in By Force of Arms when the Stantons' butler Rogers is meant to ride into town to meet Isaac and William Stanton and Virginia insists that she be allowed to do it instead.

She is very brave and feels that she should be part of the action, a fact that is evident in the third Revolution book, The Continental Risque, when the Charlemagne is fighting a British man-o-war, and Isaac asks her to go below to protect her, and she stays on deck and shoots at the British sailors with a pistol instead.

Virginia Stanton was born in 1758 and orphaned at a young age by the death of her mother, Lucy Stanton, and raised by her father, William Stanton, and their butler, Ebenezer Rogers.
