Willis Benson Machen
Willis Benson Machen (April 10, 1810 – September 29, 1893) was a Democratic U.S. Senator from Kentucky.
==Early life==
Willis B. Machen was born the son of Henry and Nancy (Tarrant) Machen on April 10, 1810 in Caldwell County, Kentucky (now Lyon County, Kentucky).〔''National Cyclopedia'', p. 395〕 He attended the common schools of the area and became a farmer.〔 Machen attended Cumberland College in Princeton, and then engaged in agricultural pursuits near Eddyville.
In addition to farming, Machen worked at the Livingston iron forge.〔Kleber, p. 598〕 Soon, he and a partner opened their own business, but it failed and nearly led Machen to financial ruin.〔Milford, p. 3〕 Eventually, he was able to repay his debts, and he began building turnpikes.〔 An injury forced him to abandon that course as well, so he turned to the practice of law.〔 He was admitted to the bar in 1844 and quickly built up a large clientele.〔〔
Machen married Margaret A. Lyon, daughter of U.S. Representative Chittenden Lyon and granddaughter of U.S. Representative Colonel Matthew Lyon.〔Johnson〕
