After looking at your father's map, and visiting google earth, I believe the coordinates for the sight you are looking for are 36 degrees 57 minutes and 59.39 secs North by 82 degrees 06 minutes and 45.66 secs West. This will be in the northwest section of the county near the community of Artrip. I will be visiting within the next two months and will try to find your homestead. If sucessful, I will take pictures and e-mail to you if you desire. I'm still looking for Duff's and other relatives from that area. Hope things are going well with you, I recently retired and now have lots of time to search. Jack Ball.
