Westover - Kingston Hall0 views(1) Kingston Hall, on Old Westover Marion Road on the Big Annamessex River at the Head of Kings Creek, was built by Thomas King, son of Col. Robert King, in the 1780s. He left it to his daughter, Elizabeth Barnes King, who married Col. Henry James Carroll and had two sons, Charles Cecilius Carroll and Thomas King Carroll.
The property passed to Thomas King Carroll. In 1829 he was elected governor of Maryland and later appointed as Chief Naval Officer for the Port of Baltimore by President Zachary Taylor. His oldest child, Anna Ella Carroll (b 1815) was educated as if she were the family’s firstborn son. (continued next photo)

Westover - Kingston Hall today0 views(2) By the time she finished college, the family and Kingston Hall were in financial distress. She tried to help by opening a girls' school. Due to debts incurred by previous generations of the family, the Carrolls lost Kingston Hall to foreclosure in 1837.
Despite that, Anna Ella Carroll became influential in national politics, even advising President Abraham Lincoln. She was a publicist and a lobbyist, developed the Tennessee River Plan, and was well known for her writing. Because of the era in which she was born, much of her work wasn’t recognized until long after she died in 1894.
John W. Dennis bought Kingston Hall after its foreclosure, and it passed down to John Upshur Dennis, who served as a judge of the Supreme Court of Baltimore
