John Wesley Binley was born April 18, 1814 at Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio and was baptized into the Latter-day Saint Church in 1838. He moved to Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1840, where he served as one of the Prophet's bodyguard and a member of the Nauvoo police force. He was at Mt. Pisgah when the call came for the Battalion, and served as 3rd Corporal in Company "E" of that organization. He marched to California and from there accompanied General Kearney on his way back to the States. While shoeing a horse on the Truckee River he was kicked severely injuring his back and breaking several ribs. He rode 1000 miles in intense pain.
Continuing the journey from the Valley, he met the Pioneers on the North Platte; afterwards he was sent back to hurry up the companies and then returned to Salt Lake. He spent the winter in the old "Fort" and in the spring of 1849 went to California where he worked in the gold mines. He returned again to Utah in 1858, where he lived at various times in Grantsville, Deep Creek, and Mill Creek, Utah.
