Kingston Hall

Construction at Kingston Hall in Somerset County was begun by Thomas King in 1755. After his death, his daughter Elizabeth Barnes King Carroll and Henry James Carroll lived there. Their son, Thomas King Carroll, 21st Governor of Virginia was born at Kingston Hall, as well as their daughter Anna Elle Carroll, who served as an advisor to Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. In 1835, the property was sold to John Upshur Dennis, a 2nd cousin of Littleton Dennis Teackle.
