      "The beginning of Norcross actually was the Pinckneyville community, the oldest white village in the southeast region of the county. It was located on the old Peachtree Road where travelers came south out of the Cherokee lands down Rogers Road and Medlock Road crossed the Chattahoochee River. Several Indian trails converged here."
