Regarding the Thoroughgoods: It might be a deadend - don't know whether they have family information, but you may want to contact the "Adam Thoroughgood House" - now a museum owned by the city of Virginia Beach VA, originally a brick home thought to have been built by a grandson of Adam Thoroughgood in the 1600s. Said to be the oldest brick home in the country. *Contact Information: *Adam Thoroughgood House, 1636 Parish Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23455, phone (757) 460-7588 http://www.virginiabeachhistory.org/thoroughgoodhouse.html Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Thoroughgood_House John Ullian lower-delmarva-roots-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > LOWER-DELMARVA-ROOTS Administrivia > > For information about the Lower Delmarva Roots Mailing List, including list guidelines and instructions for unsubscribing and subscribing, see the LDRoots FAQ: > > http://www.tyaskin.com/handley/ldrfaq.htm > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
