The following named Signers have been
referred to as members of the Fraternity by various Masonic writers, and
in Masonic publications, but their Lodge affiliation is not known:
Roger Sherman, claimed to have been made
a Mason prior to the American Revolution. A Masonic Apron said to be worn
by him is in the collection at Yale University.
Josiah Bartlett, one so named is listed
as a charter member of King Solomon's Lodge, Charlestown, Massachusetts.
Descendants, however, say he was not a member of the Craft. There is doubt
that this Bartlett is the signer, and records of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts
do not show his Lodge affiliation.
Philip Livingston, often referred to
as a Mason, but this is open to debate. Records of the Grand Lodge of New
York do not disclose his name. Several members, named Livingston, are noted
in the records of Holland Lodge No. 8, New York City, New York.
Joseph Hewes. Records of Unanimity Lodge
No. 7, Edenton, North Carolina, show his name as a visitor on St. John's
Day, December, 1776.
Robert Treat Paine, member of a Massachusetts
Lodge. The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts records do not show his affiliation
He was said to be present at the celebration of St. John's Day, Grand Lodge
of Massachusetts, in June, 1759.
Thomas McKean, noted as a frequent visitor
to Perseverance Lodge No. 2l, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The McKean genealogy
has stated he was a Mason, although his name is not found on the records
of the Grand Lodge of Delaware, which was not organized until the close of
the American Revolution. A brother, Samuel McKean, was a member of the
Fraternity.
John Penn, known to have attended Lodges
in North Carolina, but his Masonic affiliation is not known.
Lyman Hall, claimed to have been a member
of Solomons Lodge No. 1, Savannah, Georgia.
William Ellery, claimed as a member of
a Lodge in Boston, Massachusetts.
Thomas Nelson, Jr., claimed to have visited
Lodge No. 9, Yorktown, Virginia, after the Siege of that place was lifted
in the Revolutionary War, accompanied by Lafayette and Washington.
Absence of definite proof of the Masonic
affiliation of the Signers named in the foregoing paragraphs, precludes the
possibility of knowing. This is also the case with Thomas Jefferson; John
Adams; Benjamin Rush, Robert Morris; John Witherspoon; George Wythe; Francis
Lightfoot Lee; Richard Henry Lee, and others. Caesar Rodney, of Delaware
fame, had a son Caesar Augustus Rodney - a member of the Craft. George Read,
another Signer from Delaware, had a son - George M. Read - who was Grand
Master of Pennsylvania. Samuel Huntington had a son who was Grand Master
of Ohio.
