Levi Machin

  Noted events in his life were:

• source. Patricia.Hobman who writes:
Levi was reputed to have been a heavy drinker. This did not seem to impair his ability at work, in fact he was said to work better when he had been drinking.
He had a rocky marriage with Elizabeth and maybe his drinking was to blame.
The children from his first marriage did not get on with Elizabeth and apparently she asked them to all leave home in 1912.
