Located about fifteen miles east of Sparta on the Knoxville to Nashville turnpike was a piece of land designated as the Clifty Homestead. It was owned by James Simpson and probably granted to him by North Carolina. Thomas Eastland purchased the land from James Simpson in 1839.

James Simpson and Colonel Eastland were friends until death. On one occasion, while hunting deer, they discovered a very beautiful knob which was very symmetrical and stood out from the surrounding peaks. They called it Dumplin Knob and here made an agreement that they would be buried, side by side, on the knob.
