John Duncan Family Cemetery,
his homeplace, off Dulaney Rd NW (SR 814), Alum Ridge District, Floyd Co.,
VA. Access
is by Dulaney Road NW (off White Rock Road NW). Take Dulaney Rd down a hill
until you reach the “End of State Maintenance” sign. The road is overgrown
beyond this point. Walk approximately 800 yards, cross the creek, and
immediately turn right onto an old logging road. Then walk 300 yards straight
up the ridge. This is a steep 45 degree climb and will take some time. N

cemetery was originally documented shortly after the surrounding timber had
been harvested. At that time the cemetery overlooked the original homestead.
After 45+ years the trees have regrown into a dense forest shading out most
undergrowth. |
