George Washington the most famous Mason

Fortunate have been the people of North America. The right leader has been in the right place at the right time. This has been true since that historic day in May 1607 when the first permanent English settlement was established at Jamestown Virginia some of these leaders have been churchman some have been military, some have been statesman. Some have been highly visible. Some have worked behind the scenes and among these leaders who have kept America free and growing many have been Freemasons.

George Washington was the son of Augustine and Mary. He was born on the 11th day of February 1731 about 10 in the morning and was baptized April 3rd of the same year .
George Washington was the first American commander in chief and the first president of the United States. He was also the first in a long line of presidents of the United States that were also Freemasons .
George Washington Masonic record:
1)EA in November 4, 1752 Fredericksburg Lodge # 4 Virginia
2)FC March 3, 1753 Fredericksburg lodge #4 in Virginia
3)MM August 4, 1753 Fredericksburg Lodge #4 Virginia.
4)Alexandria Lodge # 39 of Virginia was charted by Pennsylvania met on June 24, 1784 and Washington was an invited guest during the meeting. He was elected to honorary membership.

In 1784 General Lafayette presented Washington with an apron that Lafayette wife had made. (Wears in most pictures of Washington in Masonic regalia..)

Alexandria Lodge #39 asked for, and received a charter from the Grand Lodge of Virginia. Becoming Alexandria
Lodge #22 . it had been requested that George Washington be named in the new charter. His name appeared as the first of four brothers named thereby appointing him Worshipful Master on April 28, 1788. Alexandria # 22 reelected Washington unanimously war formaster on December 20, 1788.

Inaugurated President of the United States April 30, 1789 taking the oath of office on the holy Bible of St. John’s Lodge, number one of New York City, the oath being administered by grandmaster Robert R Livingston, chancellor of New York immediately, after which Washington bent and kissed the Bible.

George Washington continued his Masonic life up until his death. One of the things that Washington wrote to King David Lodge in Rhode Island sums up his beliefs about masonry
Being persuaded that a just application of the principles, on which the Masonic Fraternity is founded, must be promotive of private virtue and public prosperity, I shall always be happy to advance the interests of the Society, and to be considered by them as a deserving brother.

Happy birthday General Washington, sir.
Thank you for being My Brother and giving us a Free Country.

Freemasonry is about personal growth, integrity, and brotherhood. Through our teachings and service, we strive to become better men, better leaders, and better members of our community.

So far as I am acquainted with the principles and doctrines of Freemasonry, I conceive it to be founded in benevolence and to be exercised only for the good of mankind.
Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.
Freemasonry is founded on the immutable laws of Truth and Justice and its grand object is to promote the happiness of the human race.
George Washington

Freemasonry teaches us that the good we do for others creates a legacy that lives on. Albert Pike’s words remind us to strive for more than just self-improvement—we’re called to make a positive impact on the world around us.

What can you do today to leave a lasting mark?
