    • Quote from History of Kane Co, Ill.: "And such our friend knows to be the fact, for the house was built by James Outhouse, a previous owner, who had come from St. John, New Brunswick, in the Fall of 1836, with his wife and two children, and having learned of the Merrill claim, had left his family at Blackberry, and traveled across the cournty to the cabin of the pretended owner of some thirty-six square miles, where he was informed that he could have 200 acres for $200, and not a cent less. With this assurance he returned to Blackberry and was told by D.W. Annis, that he would not pay any such outrageous price; that $100 was enought, and that if Merrill was not satisfied with that amount, he would furnish men enough to build a log house upon any part of the land which Outhosue should select and help him to defend it.
