Both Scotland and England chartered lodges in the US.  

I think you'll find earlier lodges than in Virginia.  The Grand Lodge of 
England, on June 5, 1730, issued a deputation to Daniel Coxe to act as 
"Provincial Grand Master of the Provinces of New York, New Jersey and 
Pennsylvania in America."

Lodges which admit females are not "recognized" by the mainstream 
jurisdictions.

Prince Hall affiliated lodges originated w/ African Lodge, chartered by the 
Grand Lodge of England in 1784.
