Han kom til USA sammen med moren og stefaren Nils Haugerud. Han ble konfirmert i Bostwick Valley nær LaCrosse i 1865 og bodde senere sammen med moren på hennes farm i Goodhue County. I 1871 reiste han til Renville County, hvor han fikk tatt ut land til seg selv.

Marilyn Holien Ettesvold skriver: "On his visits back home, he persuaded his brothers and mother to join him. The region was newly opened for settlement and each of the boys wanted land of their own. Erik Erikson had worked for nearby farmers in Goodhue County and had saved a little money before going to Renville. He met Berith Olsdtr Kattevold while she was working in Northfield and they were married 12 January 1874 at farm home of Marit (hi s sister Hbs anmrk.) and her husband Torger. Official witnesses of the ceremony were neighbors, Ole Knutsen Holien and Ole Jensen Broin.

Erik and Berith worked hard that first summer to get things in readiness for the long winter ahead. Exactly nine months from the date of their wedding, Berith gave birth to two twins, Maria and Erick. The timing of the birth was a source of amusem ent to the couple all during their wedded lives! The boy was small and weak, however, and died soon after birth. Two years later another Erick was born, who lived to almost the age of three. In 1887, Ole was born, in 1880, Bertha, in 1883, Edwi n and in 1885, Eric. Wang Township was organized in 1875 and Erik was elected a supervisor. The first church in the township was Vestre Sogn, organized in 1868, and build in 1881. Erik and Berith were early members, helped build the church, and Re. Johannes Bergh bapt ized their first six children. Vestre Sogn had been sister church to Our Savior's Lutheran in Sacred Heart, but a rift separated the two and a group split off and formed Wang Lutheran Church, which was built in 1885. Pastor A.H. Gjevre baptized Yo ung Eric there. One fall, when he was plowing, he became thirsty and paused to drink water from a small pond. The water was polluted and Erik contracted typhoid fever, from which he died on 12 November 1885. He was buried in the cemetery at Vestre Sogn, the churc h he helped to build and support.

Han bodde på Løken i 1801 og var da innerst og skomaker. han giftet seg først med Marit Torstensdrt Flataker fra Nord aurdal og bodde på Svennes i noen år før de kjøpte Vike. 14.Februar 1816. Da Marit døde uten barn, giftet han seg med den nesten 40 år yngre Marit Olsdatter.

Erik må ha blitt kjent med moren hennes, Mali Kristoffersdatter da han bodde på Svennes. Marit hadde ikke hatt noen form for trygghet i sitt unge liv, og må vel derfor ha sagt ja til å gifte seg med en så mye eldre mann.

De fikk to barn: Marit og Erik, men da Erik var to år gammel d°de faren, og Marit satt igjen med gården og to små barn.
