How many Virginians ended up being punished with castration or disfigurement as a result of Thomas Jefferson's sodomy law?

Response by poster: I can find lots of cites of the law, but I can't seem to find out how many people were actually punished this way. Google-fu help?

Bill, not law. According to the Library of Congress, "Virtually none of the plan was adopted by the Virginia legislature."
