Lt.Col. Mills Stephenson-- Part 5: Buried in Louisiana or Arkansas?

Mills Stephenson engaged in farming and boat building after the war.  He would build flat boats and float them down to New Orleans from Ripley, Ohio, on the Ohio River.

This source says that he died of swamp fever in Shreveport, Louisiana, on January 16, 1822.

So, there is some confusion of where he died.  Another source said he died in Helena, Arkansas, and is buried there.
