His land at the time totaled 550 acres, on which he established a farm and built a saw mill. On 9 October 1805 he petitioned the Court and the following year built a grist mill. On 12 December 1809, Daniel was licensed to operate a tavern, which occupied the lower, or basement level of the building. Sleeping accommodations were maintained on the second floor, and the family occupied the third floor. In the early 1990s, Brugh's Tavern was disassembled and reconstructed in Explore Park in Roanoke, where it was operated as a restaurant until the Park closed for lack of funds in 2007.
Daniel died on 26 December 1825. Family tradition holds that he was "bled" to relieve a wound, the "cure" and not the wound causing his death.
