� Welcome to Our Website! �The Adam Thoroughgood Chapter � Organized by Jeanette McLeod Browne and twelve other women, the Adam Thoroughgood Chapter held its first meeting on May 5, 1956.� Originally calling� Churchland, VA its home of origin, it later expanded to include members from Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and other surrounding areas in Virginia. � �� The Adam Thoroughgood Chapter was named for one of Virginia Beach�s first settlers, Adam Thoroughgood.�� Thoroughgood arrived in the New World in the 1620s as an indentured servant.� After serving his indenture, he was granted more than 5,000 acres of land from the king.� On this land was built one of the most important structures in America.� Thought to be one of� the oldest brick houses in America, it still stands next to the Lynnhaven River, named for Thoroughgood�s ancestral home in King�s Lynn, England.���
