There's a terribly sad story about a woman named Grace Sherwood who was 
tried by dunking in Princess Anne County in 1706. The court also appointed a 
jury of five competent women who searched her and found that "she is not 
like them or noe other woman that they know." [Minutes 1691-1709, pages 431, 
433, 442, 444-5, and others].
