Thanks, I contacted them several years ago and it was a dead-end. I wish I had known Adam Thoroughgood was my 10th great grandfather when I was living there. It certainly would have made this research a lot easier to have done when I was so close to the libraries, courthouses, VA archives, etc. Lisa Just from this List, sent me a "great" lead. "The Virginia Magazine of Biography and History" lists the 105 individuals Adam Thoroughgood brought over that enabled him to claim over 5,000 acres of land. The list begins with Adam Thoroughgood, then lists Thomas Thoroughgood, Francis Newton, Sarah Thoroughgood, . . . etc. Further search of "The Virginia Magazine of Biography and History" revealed another entry from 'A Court at James Citty the 29th of March 1628' - "Thomas Thoroughgood sworne & examined sayth that being sent by his kinsman Adam Thoroughgood . . ." I wonder what this Thomas' relationship was to Adam. I know that Adam had a brother Thomas but I was under the impression that he had stayed in England. Can anyone shed any light on this? I believe this Thomas is too old to have been the Thomas Thoroughgood that Edmund Scarborough claimed as a headright in 1664. Thanks to everyone who responded to my original query.
