Kenneth Raynor Ellington was the second of four sons born to Jesse Thompson Ellington (1842-1910), a Confederate veteran and sheriff of Johnston County, and his second wife Sallie O. Williamson (1862-1901), a native of Virginia. He had a number of older half siblings from his father's previous marriage.

In 1926, they moved the office to Asheville, NC, where Mr. Douglas Ellington designed a number of amazing buildings through the 1920s.
In 1926, the Ellington brothers began construction of a charming home in Chunn's Cove near Asheville, using left over materials from their building projects. This is one of the most charming homes I've ever seen, and was later lived in by Kenneth Ellington's daughter, the famed wildlife artist Sallie Ellington Middleton.
The family appears to have moved to Washington, DC in the 1930s, and to Charleston, SC in 1937, but they maintained a summer home at Chunn's Cove.
