Perhaps Thomas is related to this line. The names Nathan and Thomas appear a couple of times.
Descendants of Harmon Bingham
Generation No. 1
1. HARMON BINGHAM was born 1827 in KY, and died August 1894 in Uvalde, TX. He married LUCINDA COX 1849 in Fannin Co., TX, daughter of NATHAN COX and MARGARET CANTRELL.
Note that Harmon's eldest son is named Thomas B. Bingham. Thomas Bingham might be a father or brother of Harmon. Both Thomas and Harmon homesteaded in Uvalde Co., TX., in 1870.
Es Bingham is listed as surveyor and grantee of abstract 1235 in Jack County, Texas. Others receiving abstracts in Jack County are George Cox, Silas Cox and William Netherland--names of families intermarried with the Binghams.
In 1850 Harmon Bingham was a farmer in Fannin Co., TX. He and Lucinda Bingham were parents of a baby girl. In 1860 they were again recorded in Fannin Co., TX, and they were parents of three more children. He had personal property valued at $100.00. In 1861 they moved to south Texas and in 1880 he was a farmer in Uvalde County.
Harmon Bingham homesteaded 160 acres in Frio Canyon, Uvalde Co., TX, in 1870. He was joined by Thomas B. Bingham who homesteaded 160 acres in 1873. J. Bingham also received a Uvalde Co. land grant--Thomas might have been his son, but also could have been a brother.
Harmon Bingham's widow's Civil War pension application states that Harmon served in the Frontier Regiment, Col. McCord, Captain Edward's Company of the Texas Cavalry, CSA. The pension application was approved September 1, 1914. It was filed on August 8, 1912. The pension was paid beginning December 1, 1914.
Witnesses to the statement were Milas (sic) [Miles S.] Cantrell and Elizabeth Cantrell. Lucinda Bingham, Miles Cantrell and Elizabeth Cantrell all signed with a mark. Harmon Bingham served 2 1/2 or 3 years from 1862 until the close of the war. Miles and his wife Elizabeth were Lucinda's cousins.

Notes for LUCINDA COX:
BIO:In Lucinda Bingham's pension application for her husband Harmon's CSA veteran's benefits, she states that she has lived in Texas since she was 10 years old. In 1912, she states that she is ninety-four years old. In 1914, she again inquires about the pension, and states that she is 96 years old. She states that she has lived for 84 years in Texas, making her family's move to Texas, about 1828. She also states that she has lived in Uvalde for 47 years and that they were married in Fannin County, Texas, about 1857. I think this information is incorrect. I think Lucinda was born about 1828. Her family moved to the area that became Fannin County about 1840. Fannin County was set apart from Red River County as its own entity in 1838. She was married in Fannin County in about 1849. Lucinda lived with her son Thomas Bingham in Uvalde County in later years. Thomas signed the report of Lucinda's death to the Texas Commission on Pensions with his mark. We are uncertain who furnished the information on Lucinda's death certificate, but feel that her mother is listed
