Adam Thoroughgood Chapter

Virginia Beach, Virginia

Organized 5 May 1956

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.
