I believe the current spelling in Tidewater Virginia is always Lynnhaven. I have in my notes somewhere that Adam (or his father Argall) Thorowgood originated in Lynn, England. I believe that is in Kent. The spelling of the name Thorowgood is corrupted in every way possible. I believe the great Thurgood Marshall was actually named after the Thorowgood family. But, I have no proof of that. Enjoy your hunting. To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
