He moved to Clearfield County with his brothers, Andrew and Jacob. He settled on fifty acres of partly-improved land in Brady (later Sandy) township, near the town of Luthersburg. The place was later known as the Milton Miles farm. He made extensive improvements, erecting buildings, and at his death had a good estate.
