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.

Wall of Names, 23, calls him Simon MIRE, & lists him with Madeleine CORMIER as though they were already married when they reached LA. Their marriage record in Bourgeois, Cabanocey, 171, & Voorhies, J., Some Late Eighteenth Century Louisianians, 424, says otherwise. It is unlikely that the marriage at Cabanoce in Mar 1766 was merely the blessing of a marriage that already existed: first, the ceremony was conducted at Cabanoce not by a priest but by the community's commandant; and second, Madeleine probably reached LA in Feb 1764 with her parents via GA, SC, NY, & Mobile, over a year before Simon arrived via Halifax & St.-Domingue, now Haiti. The likely scenario is that Simon met Madeleine soon after he reached Cabanoce. They were married by the commandant on the same day that Madeleine's sister Marie married Michel POIRIER, another young Acadian who had recently arrived in the settlement.
