Notes for Levi Fairchild:
Levi was a very intelligent man. He had his teacher's certificate, enabling him to teach in the schools in the state of Kentucky. Unfortunately, his major concerns were playing the fiddle and fishing. As far as his fiddle playing was concerned, he was one of the most accomplished fiddlers in East Kentucky. He and Bob Johnson traveled extensively throughout the area playing at fairs and fiddling contests.
Levi's father, Acie had a large farm but due to Levi's lack of enthusiasm to work, Acie left most of Levi's portion to Levi's children. This land was bought by Crate and Mose Rice as well as several others. By the end of thier life, Levi and Lucy were without a permanent home and spent their last days living in their children's homes.
