According to the Application for Confederate Benefits on file at the Archives in Baton Rouge, Jesse Young was wounded at the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou,"... he lost his right eye when a gun cap exploded during the battle at Chicksaw Bayou." jlr
Civilian Data: (31 July 2001) Jesse Hypolite Young was born on December 11, 1845 in Calcasieu Parish. His address on his Confederate pension application is "Berwick, Acadia Parish, Louisiana." The Louisiana Archives in Baton Rouge have microfilmed records including a pension application from Jesse "P."

According to John Young's book, Jesse married Marie REED May 8, 1866 and they had 9 children. He was a farmer after the war. He and his wife Marie are buried in Berwick(sic), aka Ardoin, Cemetery south of Basile, Louisiana. Redich is more likely the correct location rather than Berwick which is near Morgan City. Jesse survived the war and passed away in 1919. He and his wife Marie are buried in Berwick(sic), aka Ardoin, Cemetery south of Basile, Louisiana. Redich is more likely the correct location rather than Berwick which is near Morgan City.

The contributors father, Herbert Francis Young, resides in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The contributor of this essay resides near Birmingham, Alabama.
