Elliott Co., Ky birth records list Benjamin L. Binion, born 10 Oct 1875, father Lincoln Binion, mother’s maiden name Louisa Porter.
Census
1910 census of Elliott Co., Ky, Laurel precinct, enumerated 29 April, lists on p. 9A as family #147/150:
Binion, Luster, 41, farmer; Sarah, wife, 37; Martha, dau, 15; John, son, 14; Leander, son, 12; Causby, dau, 9. All born Ky Ky Ky.
I’m very skeptical that this is the family of Luster Binion and Sarah Flannery, since the child lists do not match at all, and the ages for Luster and Sarah are inconsistent with other records as well. But I cannot find any other Luster Binion (or variant spelling) in 1910, nor any Binion family with children John or Riley about 4 and/or Hazel about 2 or Myrtle age 1 in 1910, in a statewide search. I also cannot find a match for the family above in 1900 or 1920.
