Darnall’s Chance was built between 1741-1742 for James Wardrop, a Scottish
immigrant, who amassed a fortune as a merchant and entrepreneur in the
bustling port-town of Upper Marlborough, Maryland. In 1748, he married
Lettice Lee, daughter of Phillip Lee, the progenitor of the Maryland branch
of the illustrious Lee family of Virginia.
