The Colonel Charles Lynch Chapter was formally organized with eighteen members present at Avoca, by Sally Moss Smith Rowbotham (Mrs. Arthur) on November 10, 1922.
We are Daughters with varied interests – art, history, literature, music, needlework and religion – but we have in common our desire to keep alive the spirit of our Revolutionary War ancestors. Our chapter is named for Colonel Charles Lynch (1736-1796), who distinguished himself as planter, lawmaker, ardent Whig, Revolutionary War soldier, and member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. The Avoca Museum, the home-site of Charles Lynch, is an example of 19th century Victorian architecture and listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
