Elizabeth,
	I research the Miles family.  What info do you need about the
MILES?  Perhaps I can help.
	To answer your question about Samuel's different residences in
such a short time frame:  it may be that he owns land in both
Parishes.  If so, he can refer to himself of whichever Parish is
convenient for his transaction.  I have found this to be the situation
many times with individuals who own a lot of land that spans several
counties or parishes.
