Louisa Daniel Rutledge was born in about 1828 to Caloway
Daniel and Lucinda Cook Daniel in Lincoln County, Tennessee. Louisa married Sam
Rutledge in 1841 at age fourteen. They lived in Mulberry, Tennessee, until his
death in 1884. She was connected to the community by her membership in the
Primitive Baptist Church and through her extensive family. Her brother, Jack
Daniel, registered the whiskey distillery of that name in Lynchburg, Tennessee,
in 1866. Louisa Daniel Rutledge died in 1925 at the age of 97. Her obituary
states that she had 47 great and great-great grandchildren living in south
central Tennessee at the time of her death.
