After the battle, Jesse fell ill with the measles. He and other sick and wounded soldiers were placed on the steamboat Vesuvius to be sent upriver to Natchez, MS. Jesse and several other soldiers died enroute. Jesse Mays died 19 March 1815. He and several other deceased soldiers were buried at Baton Rouge in March 1815. Does anyone know the location of the burial site of these soldiers?
