In the late 1750s Indian hostilities spread through Bethabara and the surrounding area. When the palisade fort was built, these bastions offered good defense by allowing a man to see up and down each side of the fort. Night watch duty was assigned and one man was put in command at the mill where many refugees were camping.

"One of our refugees narrowly escaped death on the path between Bethabara and Bethania; two others going out against the advice of Br, Auspach... were attacked and one of them killed... Frequently spies were seen about the fort and mill."
Bethabara Diary, March of 1760.
