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.
