I was honored to receive the Dr. Jeffrey R. Willis Award at the annual meeting for the Spartanburg County Historical Association at Walnut Grove Plantation for outstanding contributions to Spartanburg’s cultural heritage. What a joy to receive this award where I first got the idea to preserve the stories of the women of the American Revolutionary War!

For the past thirteen years, South Carolina Daughters of the American Revolution have presented a South Carolinian with the Bobby Gilmer Moss Award.
It is to recognize an individual who has made significant contributions to the body of knowledge related to the American Revolutionary War and the formative years of the creation of the United States of America.
The Awards Committee chooses based on this contribution the nominee has made through research, writing, and publication related to the Revolutionary War and how it expands the knowledge about Patriot life and the events related to this war. The nominee shall be one whose writing goes beyond the nominee’s professional work.
Based on the books, “Courageous Kate,” “Fearless Martha,” “Brave Elizabeth,” and “Walking with Eliza,” the SCDAR presented Sheila with this award at the 2019 March Spring Conference. She was the first South Carolina Daughter to receive this award.
At the same ceremony, SCDAR presented Sheila with a National DAR Award for Excellence in Children’s Books for her book Brave Elizabeth.
