One of the original settlers of DeKalb County, Benjamin Plaster, Sr. was born in Rowan County, North Carolina in 1780 and moved to the Peachtree District of Fulton County about the time that DeKalb County was founded. His will is the oldest record of DeKalb County, and his land covers what is now Peachtree Hills Park, Peachtree Heights, the eastern part of Brookwood Hills, Armour Station, a large sector of the Rock Springs Community, the Lindmont Development, and both sides of Piedmont Road from just south of the Seaboard Railroad bridge to the Southern Railway underpass at East Wesley Road. - Local Identifier:
