Though his death/burial was recorded at the St.-Gabriel church, he probably died at the southern edge of the Baton Rouge district, north of Bayou Manchac; there was no church at Baton Rouge until 1793, so priests from St.-Gabriel served the area around Fort Bute, just north of Bayou Manchac, which was part of the Baton Rouge district.
