Driskell homestead

Hi,
I am looking for information on the current owners of property that used to belong to my gggrandfather Daniel Boone Driskell. It is located in Hamilton County near the Saline County line on Porter Road in the old Gholson Grove community. He owned 83 acres (40 on one side and 43 on the other). I was told they sold it after my grandmother Florella Driskell died around 1940 or so. I know that all but about 20 acres (where the old homestead stood) is being farmed. The property is very near to where Geraldine Miner lives. It is just around the corner from where the old Gholson Grove school was. Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you,
Teresa Driskell Barndt
