At about 10 a.m. Sherwood was marched from the jail, next to the present-day Old Donation Episcopal Church, down a dirt road now known as Witchduck Road,[2] to John Harper's plantation near the mouth of the Lynnhaven River, which is now a private residence. Present-day reenactments are done nearby from a spot across from Ferry Plantation House along Cheswick Lane.[11][12][25] News of the intended ducking had spread, and attracted people from all over the colony,[8] who began to chant "Duck the witch!"[2] According to the principles of trial by water, if Sherwood floated she would be deemed guilty of witchcraft; if she drowned, she would be innocent.[8][20][21]
