He was an early settler at Nichewaug, afterward Petersham, Worcester county, Massachusetts. He was there as early as 1740, when the birth of a daughter is recorded. Daniel Miles and Nehemiah Coy, of Nichewaug, deeded to Aaron Whitney a lot originally drawn by Edward Houghton in Nichewaug, October 2, 1745. Daniel Miles, of Nichewaug, John Williams, of Pomfret, and Thomas Miles, of Canterbury, Connecticut, deeded to Joseph Hinds and Silas Bennett, of Shrewsbury, land at Nichewaug, being the whole of the right of Ephraim Houghton, except a house lot and two divisions laid out previously, by deed dated April 2, 1751. The mother of Daniel may have been a Houghton. Daniel Miles bought land in Petersham, March 19, 1762, of Dennis Lockley, of Templeton, Massachusetts. Daniel Miles deeded land at Petersham to his son Daniel in 1771.

His will was dated June 10, 1771, bequeathing to children, Daniel, Joab, Dana, Benjamin, Joanna, Susanna, Patience and Freedom.
