In January 1831, Page accompanied [[Lucy Mack Smith]] and a company of saints from [[Waterloo, New York]], to [[Buffalo, New York |Buffalo]] on the [[Erie Canal]], on their way to [[Fairport Harbor, Ohio |Fairport]] and [[Kirtland, Ohio]]. In May 1831, Page moved his family to [[Thompson Township, Geauga County, Ohio |Thompson, Ohio]], under Lucy Mack Smith's direction. He again moved his family to [[Jackson County, Missouri]], in 1832 and joined the Latter Day Saints gathering there. With the other Whitmers, they formed a cluster of ten or twelve homes called the "Whitmer Settlement". Hiram owned {{convert |120 |acre |m2}} of land in the area.

During the growing [[anti-Mormon]] hostilities in Jackson County, Page was severely beaten by a group of non-Mormon vigilantes on October 31, 1833. On July 31 and August 6, 1834, he testified to the facts of the beatings. By 1834, Page and his family were expelled from the county along with the other Latter Day Saints, and lived for a time in neighboring [[Clay County, Missouri |Clay County]], before moving to [[Far West, Missouri |Far West]].
