Caution: According to his father's 1812 will (see sources), Henry had 2 sons named William Henry and Thomas. These sons are not in the current (Sep 2021) list of children, so something is amiss right now. More research is needed to straighten this out.

... By all accounts, Henry Augustus Hall was somewhat grandiose - in one Maryland history we find him describing himself as "Henry Hall of Tudor," in the style of English nobility. In addition, he began what apparently became a family tradition throughout the 19th century of failing to include the Liber and Folio numbers on deeds. This may be an effort to cover the tracks of the family's actual history of holdings. In an interview in the late 1980s, William Hall III, the family historian who obtained the history via earlier passed-down tradition, claimed that Tudor was built in 1722 by the Halls, who had been the dominant big landowners of the area in the 17th century on upward. But in fact the big land-owning Halls of the 17th century and first half of the 18th century were John Hall and descendants - a Quaker family that at one point owned over 2,500 acres of Herring Creek Hundred (the early name of South County). In a Quaker history found at the Maryland State Archived, a very sharp distinction was made between the two Hall families, as the Quakers had little use for Rev. Henry Hall or his predecessors. ...
Henry Hall had 10 children, including Francina ('Fannie') Cheston Hall. Francina remained single until about age 27 - "ancient" by the period's standards! Then she married Robert Lemmon, only to have him die barely two years later. Henry Hall died in 1859 and left Tudor - the tract at that time covering about 200 acres - to his son Estep Hall. Estep sold the farm (along with the resident slaves) to Fannie who was apparently going to try to make a go of it alone. Estep must have taken after the original Rev. Henry [Hall] in personality - he not only made his sister take on a hefty mortgage ($6,000 - a LOT for the period), he sliced Tudor down to the original roughly 114 acres, probably to save himself the cost of a new survey (the Halls apparently rarely if ever did surveys, in addition to not filing deed folios and libers). Poor Fannie, within two years, with the Civil War playing out and slavery gone, she was forced to sell Tudor to her older brother Edward and his wife. From 1906-1931, Tudor was basically passed back and forth among various Esteps (a branch of the Hall clan) and Halls. In 1931, Harriet Estep Bowie and her husband conveyed their interest in the farm to Mary I., and Harriet Estep, two sisters who owned the property until they sold it in 1943 to Pearl and Edward Seal.
