During the Indian uprisings, non-Moravian settlers were protected by the Moravians within the fort walls of Bethabara. Should death occur during these times, these settlers were not buried in the Moravian Cemetery, but instead, at the "Stranger's graveyard" aka Dobb's Parrish Graveyard, which was established October 5, 1759 and located south of the Bethabara Mill.

Following is a list of persons buried in the "Stranger's Graveyard" located on Midkiff Road in Winston-Salem.
