Sleepy Hollow's Founding Mother Is... Buffy Vet Michelle Trachtenberg! 

‘s versions of historical figures like George Washington and Ben Franklin; now the Fox drama is about to remember the ladies.

Michelle Trachtenberg has been cast as founding mother Abigail Adams, TVLine has learned exclusively.

vet will play the First Lady — her husband was John Adams, America’s second president — in an upcoming episode.

In addition to being the second FLOTUS, Abigail was mother to future President John Quincy Adams and an early advocate of equal rights for women.

 fashion, we’ll learn that Abigail had a secret life that involved Katrina Crane. (Ooh, maybe Mrs. Adams hung out with the Sisterhood of the Radiant Heart from time to time?)

. She recently played Marina Oswald in National Geographic Channel’s 

Sleepyheads, what say you about this casting? Hit the comments with your snappy judgments!

Ugh, I love Abigail Adams and was so excited until – Katrina. Why? Why show? Why must Katrina tarnish everything!

Well, considering Katrina’s married to one of the main characters, it would kind of make sense that she’d have to be part of the storyline at some point, right? I’m intrigued by this story idea. If Ichabod’s had all these connections to notable male figures of history, it’ll be interesting to see the parallel with Katrina having connections to notable female figures, and how they’re similar or different from Ichabod’s.

Anyway, I like Michelle in what I’ve seen with her (even if she did play a psycho stalker who left my favorite character in a state of emotional devastation on “Criminal Minds” :p), so I look forward to this.

I try to forget what she did to poor Reid on Criminal Minds.

I hope that Michelle Trachtenberg will become a regular on Sleepy Hollow. She will make Abigail Adams come alive.

Interesting casting. I’ll have to wait to see how she handles the part before I decide if I like it. She’s a decent actress, but the show’s take on other historical figures has been interesting, to say the least.

I can’t wait to see Ms. Michelle Trachtenberg’s role on Sleepy Hollow. I hope that she will make several episode in the series.

My geeky worlds are colliding again…….first Fringe…..now Buffy……gah!!!!

Awesome news! I hope she becomes a recurring character though. It would be a shame to cast an actress as awesome as Michelle Trachtenberg for only one episode!

John and Abigail were very much in love. I recommend reading the letters they wrote to each other.

SWEET!!! That is fantastic news. Love Michelle Trachtenberg, and love Sleepy Hollow. Tom Mison and Nicole Beharie, and Lyndie Greenwood, too, have made these characters so genuine it has made a great show brilliant. Oh and we are huge John Noble fans so this has become a very special show for my husband and me!
