June 1953 conflicts with PDF 7's October. Do not turn women's intended continuation into documented operation or site lineage into uninterrupted distillation. Bourbon naming, family exclusivity and quality-progress claims require independent support.
Original PDF pagination, not ebook reader counters. Attributed paraphrase.
The account connects Charles Burks's 1805 mill permission to distilling, deaths in 1831–32, Sarah's inheritance and Nancy's purchase of mash tubs. It explicitly lacks records proving their success. It describes late-1880s revival, Chamberlain leasing, a 1905 partnership, Prohibition-era ownership, reopening by 1937, later transfers and a June 1953 Samuels purchase.
