e/Grace Sherwood

Information
has gloss	eng: Grace Sherwood (1660–1740) is a local legend in the old Princess Anne County and Pungo, Virginia. She is known as the Witch of Pungo to historians and locals. She was accused of bewitching a neighbor's crop in 1698. Allegations grew over time until the Princess Anne County government and her accusers decided she would be tested by ducking. On July 10, 1706, Sherwood was dropped into the Western Branch of the Lynnhaven River near what is now known as Witchduck Point. Sherwood floated, a sign of guilt to the accusers. She was imprisoned for seven years, but eventually released. Sherwood lived the rest of her life quietly in Pungo and died in 1740 at the age of 80.
