"Poor Billy is no more, he died on Saturday evening & yesterday his remains
were intered in the family burying ground" (Frederick Schmidt notes).
DEATH: "Your friends here all well except William Madison, whose recovery,
I am sorry to inform you - it is with grief and pain I think of it - is almost
despaired of; he is worn down to a mere skeleton, so as scarcely to be able to
ride a mile or two in a gig in a day - his bowels appear to have been the
principal seat of pain, but I fear his lungs are vitally affected" (Reynolds
Chapman to JMjr, May 24, 1812 in Stagg et.al. 1999).
