Subject
S. E. Township
Description
The Outlaw Farm was located on the Silas Reynolds property in Section 22 of Sugar Grove Township, south of the Chicago and Iowa Railroad. John Outlaw’s family cabin was built in the 1850s on the Silas Reynolds property approximately 0.5 miles south of Prairie Street and 1 mile east of Route 47. According to the 1871 Map of Sugar Grove Township from the Atlas of Kane County, the cabin site might have been close to the area denoted as “Maple Grove” on the map.
In November of 2005, an archeological dig was conducted at the cabin site. Among those who attended were J. Eric Deetz, Pat Paxton, Bob O'Neall, Suzanne Weimer, Ruth Frantz, Dick Paxton, and Jason Rugg.
Artifacts that were uncovered included:
* Outlaw’s well
* Outlaw’s cistern lined with lime stone mortar
* Outlaw’s rain barrel hole
* A metal tooth filling found inside the rain barrel hole
* Pottery pieces
