It's almost certain Jesse Burnett is buried in the Old Mt View Baptist Chruch Cemetery. The old cemetery is at the bottom of the Asheville water shed. This is probably where his spouse is buried also.

On March 11,1781, Col. Penn and his men marched from Beaver Creek,Henry Co, crossed Rowland's Ford just below Fontaine, followed the old road, deep cuts now showing its location, up Marrowbone Valley crossing the creek west of where Ridgeway now stands, thence along the ridge two miles, then crossing Matrimony Creek half a mile to the state line, only one mile from the Marrowbone home of Old Rusty Hairston to the National Highway is now used for public road. From the line south is not known, however, they marched so rapidly they soon reached British General Lord Cornwallis a few miles north of Greensboro, North Carolina and begin what became known as the Battle of Guilford Court House on March 25,1781.
NOTE: Family history records Jesse Burnett's siblings Thomas Burnett, and Joseph Burnett were Whigs.
Joseph Burnett was killed at the battle of Kings Mt. NC. The same day, Thomas Burnett was arrested by the Tories on the way to fight the British at Kings Mt. He was tied to a tree and shot.
