Hello,
This doesn't tell us where Miles is buried or who his parents were, but I recently received this bit of info:

Miles Military Discharge 1815: Information from a professional genealogist, Baton Rouge

Sally Reeves at the New Orleans Notarial Archives forwarded your e-mail request to me. I am a professional genealogist in Baton Rouge.

You asked for burial records regarding your War of 1812 ancestor Miles Bloom who reportedly died after his discharge on 13 May 1815 some 30 miles outside of New Orleans. A recent story published in the genealogical journal I edit (Le Raconteur) told of a War of 1812 ancestor who was wounded in the Battle of New Orleans and died in January of 1815 on his way back to Tennessee, reportedly in Pike County, Miss. If your ancestor took a similar overland route, he likely died in Tangipahoa, St. Helena, or Livingston Parish. There would not be any burial records for those parishes at that time period. It is also unlikely that the grave was marked.

If the soldier had any property, there might have been a civil proceeding or coroner’s inquest. Records this old in these parishes are slim to none. St. Helena Parish probate records begin around 1820. Tangipahoa did not exist until 1869 and was formed from Livingston, St. Tammany, and Washington. Livingston Parish courthouse burned in 1875 and Washington Parish burned in 1898. That leaves St. Tammany as the only parish that might have a probate or possibly coroner’s inquest dating back to 1815. St Tammany is outside my area of research, but they have a very helpful archivist there who may be able to help you.

Best of luck with your search.

Sincerely,
Judy Riffel
