Does  anyone  know  how,  or if  there is  a  program or  service  that turns  
a legal  description  of  property  into  coordinates?
Would  this  be  something  a  surveyor  would  do  in  person  or  possibly 
work from the   paperwork?  

This  is one  of  those burning  questions  that I  probably  could answer  by 
making  a  few   phone  calls. But,  it's  11:30  pm and I  told Tom,  "I'll  
bet   someone  on the  geocache list knows  this - someone  on  that list   has 
 an answer  or  a resource   for  some  of  the  most  astounding   things."    
LOL

Anyway  --  we   want  to  figure  out the  coordinates  for  our   property   
from one  of  those  mysterious  legal  descriptions  that  starts  out 
something like  .  300'  feet   from  a  pile Township  41,  Section  6,  300  
feet  south  of  mark is  a  pile of rocks  near  a road, from  there commence  
217.3  ft  south  at a  bearing  of  ...     

We  know  where  the rocks  are  LOL...
