From the plaque:
The Old Deptford Strangers Burial Ground was founded in 1770. It is dedicated to people who did not belong to one of the many religious denominations of the town, or to people who died while passing through the area. Originally located in Woodbury, the Burial Ground was moved to it's present location in 1854.
In addition to the individuals buried here who are listed below, the bodies of an unknown number of Hessian soldiers from the Balled of Red bank were re-interred here after their battlefield graves eroded. There is also evidence of at least one U.S. Revolutionary War soldier buried here as well.
