    In the 1900 census, Harreitt reported that she had borne 4 children, and only 2 were living.  We know from other sources that Emmett lived until 1944, so this means that Fred died before 1900.  The other child must have been their first child.  No fourth child was reported in the 1880 census, and the youngest child, Benford, was 4 years old.  It is possible another child was born and died after 1880,  But the first child reported in 1880 was Emmet, born about 1873.  Since they married in October 1871, they probably had a child in 1872.

    In 1910 Binford is reported in Knoxville, Tennessee, working as a "Car Repairer" in a Car Shop.  Maybe a mechanic in a garage?  Body repair tech?  In 1918, his occupation is also designated as Car Repairer, but he works for the Southern Railway, so it must be some kind of mechanic position.  His wife is named Ada and they have three daughters by 1910.
