The Adam Keeling house, also known as "Ye Dudlies" was built
possibly as early as the 1680's. Thomas Keeling acquired a
land grant in 1635 in the area now known as Great Neck Point. His
son, Adam Keeling, is credited with building the house. The
Keeling family became one of the leading families in Princess Anne
County and the house remained in the family through the latter part
of the 19th Century. Excerpt from Tree Ring dating PDF: Like the Adam thoroughgood House, the Adam Keeling House in Virginia Beach has had a variety of construction dates ascribed to it. to resolve this, a programme of dendrochronology was commissioned by Mark Reed for the City of Virginia Beach through the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation." |
