He isn't listed in Wayne Cosby's "Louisiana Confederate Soldiers Burial Database" so I know if you find any info on his burial please post it here. Just looking over the internet I see statements made he died in New Orleans so that may be a good place to start looking. Since he was a mason perhaps they may be able to help you out.
