Please excuse the poor quality of these photos. They were taken over 20 years ago.
In 1991 there were 20 known headstones in the Hessian Graveyard aka Henning Graveyard.
This graveyard is located off of Balsom Road in Pfafftown, NC near Bashavia Creek and Balsom Wood Housing
Development. Reports of past vandalism resulted in destroyed stones. In fact, there may be none seen there today.

Notes: Records of the Moravians, Vol. IX, page 4978L
March 17, 1847: Early today James George, Conrad's miller, fell dead. When he got out of bed, he had a stroke.
March 19, 1847: Held the funeral of the late Jas. George at the house by the mill. From there went to a graveyard not far from Tim. Holder's where the
deceased was buried.
The original stone states death year as 1847, but the replacement stone has 1844. Clearly the replacement stone is wrong based on the Moravian Diaries.
