Grace's trial in 1706 took place on these grounds in the Princess Anne Courthouse and this is the same day and hour that Sherwood was marched down Witchduck Road to be ducked in the Lynnhaven River.
As the organization which convicted Grace, this constitutes the Old Donation Church's first tangible recognition of her torturous ordeal.
The public is invited to attend the event on the grounds of the church at 4449 N Witchduck Rd, Virginia Beach, VA, on July 10, 2014, at 10 a.m. For more information on the event contact the Old Donation Church Historian, Bob Perrine 757-481-1269. For more information on Grace Sherwood, contact Belinda Nash through www.http://ferryplantation.org
Recognition and memorial bricks are still available for a $100 donation each, and will be placed in the walkway near the statue of Grace Sherwood. For more info http://ferryplantation.org/history/grace-sherwood/

Uppity Women in History/Herstory: Interview with Author Vicki Leon
Uppity woman Vicki Leon is the author of a series of inspiring books about "Uppity Women" through the ages. Engaging and humorous, as well as enlightening, the books are based on her meticulous research, yet it seems so very wrong to call them "HIS-torical." In this OpEdNews interview, Leon shares some of her uppity women stories, and how she started on the path to track them down.
Vicki's monthly Uppity Women Series was announced in this article by OEN Managing Editor Meryl Ann Butler:
Announcing Uppity Women Wednesdays at OEN.
This article announces the OEN series with author Vicki Leà ³n and features a pair of exciting stories about two inspiring matriots and how they helped change the course of American history - young Revolutionary horsewomen, 16-year-old Sybil Ludington and 22-year-old Deborah Champion.
