https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/59953592/jesse-spurling

Jesse, Son of Jeremiah Spurling and Hannah Mae Johnson

Birth: 1765 Virginia, USA Death: Jul. 17, 1813 Perrysburg Wood County Ohio, USA

Jesse Spurling was married to Sarah Peters Sep 1785 in Hampshire County (West) Virginia. They had five sons, Henry, Jesse, Tunis, John, and Joshua and three daughters, Nancy, Catherine, and Sarah. Jesse joined the 1st Regiment Ohio Militia and reported to Fort Meigs, Ohio on 6 Feb 1813. Records show he was ill by 31 May 1813 and died 17 July 1813. There was a measles epidemic that began that spring. It is likely that he died of complication due to measles, probably pneumonia. The dead were buried outside the fort walls without markers. It is reasonable to believe that Jesse's final resting place is near Fort Meigs. No documents have been found to date about his final resting place. His wife, Sarah, collected a widow's pension of $4.00 per month starting in 1818.

Jesse was a Pvt. In Capt. Patrick Shaw's Co., 1 Regiment, Ohio Militia; appears on several muster rolls and pay rolls: rolls say service commenced on 6 Feb 1813, but by May 31, 1813 at Camp Meigs they say he was sick. The July 7th roll covering the Feb. to April period was written at Hamilton. Two rolls say expiration of service was 6 Aug 1813, but another one has the remark "Died 17 July 1813." The file includes an original printed document signed by David Sutton, clerk at Lebanon 21 Oct 1813, which says Jesse died intestate. The Court of Common Pleas, which he represented, chose Sarah Spurling to be administrator for Jesse. {Documents at National Archives 2nd floor}
