1864 Train Wreck

On the night of Aug. 9, 1864 near Tensaw landing or Tensas landing, a train carrying Wofford's battalion of the 1st MS Light Artillery hit a landslide (according to Rowland Dunbar, 1908) killing 11 and wounding 74 (record of events, 1st Light, also spelled as Tensaw in that record)
Railroad map (1866) indicates that it was located near where the AL river empties in Mobile Bay. Does anyone have an where these men might be buried? Thanks!
