When the exodus begun in 1846, leaders of the church called upon Erastus to make the roads, build the bridges, and plant the crops the Saints would need in their trek acroos Iowa. His wife, Olive and his two small children joined him in Council Bluffs, with the main body of the church, just in time to hear the call for the "Mormon Battalion".

Erastus was president of the 38th Quorum of Seventies. In 1858, having served in the Mormon Battalion and then in state militia, Erastus was called to serve again, with the rank of Major, in the Echo Canyon campaign against Johnston's Army.

In 1860, Erastus took his second wife, Susan and her small children to Slaterville, where he farmed and herded cattle. He served the Lord as a missionary in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, to many of his cousins which lived in the area. By 1879, polygamy laws made it difficult to live in South Fork, so he moved Olive (his first wife) and Susan (wife #2) to southeastern Utah. They then moved to Macious, Colorado and finally Tucson, Arizona.

Middle name "Clarence" provided by 2nd great granddaughter, Nancy Day. Thanks Nancy

My father, Great grandson of Erastus Bingham, Jr., says his great grandpa was never known by a middle name of Clarence. Somehow on the 1880 US Census that middle initial was attached to his name but it is an error. I hate to argue with my cousin Nancy Day, but this really needs to be corrected. My daddy, who is 90 years old, was born after the decease of his Great grandpa, but he, his dad, mother, and older brother, visited with the relatives in Tucson and Mesa when he was a little boy. My daddy bears the surname Bingham and the middle initial E
for Erastus, but not the full name, thank goodness, and has always been quite clear that this middle name of Clarence was added by error. Thank you for considering this clarification. Colleen Bingham Reep

Notes:

Name:
Thomas was born in Littleton, New Hampshire on July 19, 1824. His family joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints (also known as the Mormon church) in 1833. Thomas was in the Mormon Battalion, and was sent with the sick detachment to Fort Pueblo, Colorado. There he met Carron Happuch Holladay. Caron and her family were traveling with the Mississippi Saints, and also wintered in Fort Pueblo. Caron and Thomas were married on September 6, 1849 by President Brigham Young. Thomas and his brothers Erastus and Sanford tended livestock at the mouth of Bingham canyon (the canyon is located in the Oquirrh Mountains approximately 25 miles southwest of Salt Lake City. It was named after the Bingham brothers who were the first settlers there). In 1850 Thomas and Caron moved to Ogden. In March 1851, they were called to go with a company of Saints to help establish the settlement of San Bernardino, California where they remained until the spring of 1855, returning to their former home in Ogden. In the spring of 1856 Thomas was called on a mission to the Salmon River Indians where he served two years and during this time Caron was left with the responsibility of caring for their three children. Their family was with those who went south during the Johnston army episode. In the spring of 1862 the Bingham family helped to establish Huntsville in Ogden Canyon and, in the fall of 1877, moved to Ashley Valley, locating first on the Green River; then, in the spring of 1878, they moved to Dry Fork (Mountain Dell), north of Vernal, where they resided for several years. In the fall of 1884 they moved to Mill Ward now Maeser Ward. Thomas died December 31, 1889.

Obituary from the archives of the Ogden Standard
Thomas Bingham Senior
A brief sketch of the life and synopsis of the funeral of Elder Thomas Bingham Sen., who died at 20 minutes to 2 o'clock on the morning of Dec. 31, 1889.
Brother Bingham was born July 19, 1821, In Littleton, Grafton Co, New Hampshire and was the son of Erastus and Lucinda Gates Bingham. He was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1837 and shared with his father's family the persecutions of the Saints. He received his endowments in the Nauvoo Temple, enlisted in the Mormon Battalion July 16, 1846, and traveled with the Battalion some distance beyond Santa Fe, where he was sent back with the second sick detachment to winter at Pueblo. He came to Salt Lake July 29, 1847. He was married September 6, 1849, to Caron H. Holliday, and moved to Ogden in 1850. In 1851 he was called to go to California, with C.C. Rich and Amasa Lyman. Returning to Ogden in 1855, he was called in 1856 on a mission to Salmon River, where he labored among the Lamanites until the Saints were called home on account of hostile Indians. He reached home the time of the "move," and moved his family south to Payson, and then returned to Ogden to guard the property of the Saints. In 1862 he moved to Huntsville, Weber County, where he lived several years. While there he was first counselor to President Jefferson Hunt, and after his removal was appointed counselor to Bishop F. A. Hammond.
In 1877 he moved with his family to Ashley, Uintah County. With the sanction and approval of President Taylor and the Twelve Apostles, he established a branch of the Church at that place, and was chosen by the people to preside over it. He was the first Presiding Elder of this place, also the first ordained Bishop. He was appointed selectman by the Legislature, and was the first Probate Judge of the county. He served two terms, and was nominated for the third, but declined on account of ill health. He was a member of the High Council at the time of his death.
The funeral of Brother Bingham was held in the Uintah Stake House, Sunday Jan. 5th, 1890. The house was suitably draped for the occasion. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends, and the occasion, though sad, was an impressive one. Among the speakers were Brothers Samuel Campbell, Matthew Caldwell, Harley Morley, James H. Glines, Dannie Winn and Samuel Thompson, members of the Mormon Battalion, and while they sought to convey consolation to the bereaved, and spoke in terms enlogistic of the departed, their emotions were so strong as to almost overcome them, and every heart in the congregation was touched. Counselor R. S. Collett addressed the congregation for a short time. He said that it was characteristic of the deceased, that he was strong in his convictions and ever on the side of right. His remarks were full of comfort and hope and calculated to inspire his hearers with a desire for eternal life. President Bennion endorsed all that had been said, and truly did he say that a good man had left us, nor was there any one present who had known him but would have added their testimony that all that had been said that day in praise of Brother Bingham was the truth.
So was he spoken of while he lived. So has he left his record behind him. Brother Bingham leaves behind a wife and seven children, all of whom were present at his funeral with the exception of his son David, who is at present on a mission to the Southern States.
