Daniel Ames' father, Seymour Ames, died in Iowa in 1894. Daniel settled at North Elba in 1838 and engaged in extensive lumbering operations. At one time he was owner of one thousand acres of timberland. In 1851 he settled on a farm of 200 acres.

In 1839 he married Jane Blake of New Hampshire. There were five children, Edward; Lydia J., who married Duncan Cameron; Moses; Serena, who married Joseph Lamoy of Saranac Lake; Byrin P. Ames. Mrs. Ames died in 1884. The following year Ames married Mrs. Nellie (Pratt) Sherwood of Lewis.
