thorowgood's residence after 1634 was along the lynnhaven river, also named for his home in england. thoroughgood appears to have had the foresight to realizing earlier than many other leaders that lower norfolk county was too large for a single site for convenient worship and court affairs. he led the effort to establish a second parish church, court, and glebe house at what was then known as churches point on the lynnhaven river. adam thoroughgood suddenly became ill and died at the age of only 36 in 1640. he was buried at churches point in a location now believed to be submerged.
