Hayfields was built in 1810 by Colonel Nicholas Merryman Bosley, who in 1824 was awarded a silver tankard by the hand of Lafayette for the best cultivated Maryland farm. It was also the home of John Merryman, an early importer in 1848 of registered Hereford cattle that were still being bred here in 1967. His imprisonment in 1861 led to Chief Justice Taney’s masterful “Ex-Parte Merryman.”
