Lem Motlow
Lemuel “Lem” Oscar Motlow
Tennessee in the early s was still a wilderness when Agnes Motlow, a Revolutionary War widow, settled with her family in Lincoln County. In nearby Franklin County, Joseph Daniel settled with his family. Two generations later, on Dec 22, , Agnes’s grandson Felix Motlow, married Joseph’s granddaughter, Finetta Daniel, and the Motlows and Daniels would forever be linked in history.
Nettie’s younger brother, Jasper, known as “Jack”, went on to create the famous, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey. As Jack never married nor had children, who would take on the business?

Jack Daniel statue at the Jack Daniel&#;s visitor center in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Photo by Tom Adkinson Jack Daniel and Nearest Green are practically joined at the barrel stave. By Tom Adkinson Tennessee has two products that are famous around the world – country music from Nashville and Jack Daniel’s Whiskey from the tiny town of Lynchburg about 80 miles south of Nashville and 25 miles north of the Alabama state line. The story of how country music blossomed in Nashville is well documented, but the origin story of Jack Daniel’s Whiskey has been one that few people even thought about – until recently. Newcomers to the delights of Jack Daniel’s Whiskey often don’t realize that Jack Daniel was a real person, and even if they do, they don’t pause in a liquor store’s whiskey aisle or on a barstool to consider how the product bearing his name got its start and now is sold legally in at least countries (and imported surreptitiously into at least a couple of others). I play a game of cataloging where I’ve raised a glass of Jack’s amber liquid. The most unexpected was deep in the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador on a rickety overnight excursion boat. Perhaps the most d
Jack Daniels, the famed Tennessee distiller, never married. His sister, Nettie, wed Felix Motlow and had four sons, among them Lem, born in November, The young man early on began working for his uncle at his Lynchburg distillery, learning the whiskey trade from the ground up. When Daniels became enfeebled near the end of his life, about he gave the distillery to Motlow. Jasper Newton (Jack) Daniel was introduced to distilling at the tender age of seven, when he went to live with a lay preacher called Daniel Houston Call, who operated a whiskey still, store and farm. Originally, he was taken on as something of an errand boy but he was soon learning the art of making whiskey from Dan Call’s distiller, Nearest Green. In a temperance preaching woman known as Lady Love convinced Call to choose between his ministry and his whiskey, so Dan sold his still to Jack, then aged thirteen. Jack’s actual birth date is not known but it is commonly accepted that he was born in September , as one of thirteen children. The folk at Jack Daniel’s make the most of this uncertainty, celebrating his birthday for the whole month of September. And we think, why not? In , aged just 16 but already an established distiller, Jack moved to a new site; setting up a distillery about five miles down the road at the spot the present distillery sits, alongside the excellent Cave Spring water source. This is America’s oldest registered distillery. Jack died on 8th October , aged 61, from a gangrenous infection. In he had broken a toe, apparently from kicki
