Lynnhaven Parish Church

On May 2, 1706, the county justices noted that while no particular act of maleficium had been alleged against Sherwood, there was "great cause of suspicion".[16] Consequently, the Sheriff of Princess Anne County took Sherwood into custody.[25] Maximilian Boush, an early warden of Lynnhaven Parish Church, prosecuted the case against Sherwood. A jury from the Lynnhaven Parish Vestry (Colonel Edward Moseley, Captain John Moseley, Lieutenant-Colonel Adam Thoroughgood, Captain Woodhouse, Sir John Cornick, Captain Chapman, William Smyth, and Mr. Richardson) ordered a trial by ducking to be carried out on July 5, 1706, but heavy rains caused a postponement until July 10.[14] Sherwood was taken inside Lynnhaven Parish Church (Number 2), placed on a stool and ordered to ask for forgiveness for her witchery.[25] She replied, "I be not a witch, I be a healer."[8]
