The operative word there being "county."
And, of course Merryman was an officer (1st Lt.) in the Baltimore County Horse Guards.
Which is supposed to prove exactly what about his residence?
John Merryman has plenty of connections to Baltimore
You did not assert that he simply had "connections" in Baltimore. You asserted that he was a neighbor of Roger Taney and that is a patent falsehood.
If you don't think Taney knew Merryman, you are deluding yourself.
First, you've provided absolutely no evidence of that. Second, your original contention was not that Taney simply knew Merryman but rather that they were neighbors - a claim that is patently false. But you, of course, are a filthy liar who cannot and will not ever admit to a wrong even when you've been caught in a corner with no escape. Thus you remain incorrigible and thus you persist to lie about your previous lies.
I don't have to prove a statement made in a newspaper over 140 years ago. The Chief Justice thought enough of the passage to quote it, when he could have used any of hundreds of other accounts. I am satisfied that Taney was guilty of both poor legal judgment and likely misconduct in the Merryman affair. Rehnquist as much as says it too. Fehrenbacher also said it about Taney in Dred Scott. You may disagree; that is your right. But don't expect me to swallow your pathetic attempts of "proof" or your whining. Neither are persuasive.
