HISTORY OF ZION LODGE, NUMBER ONE, F. & A. M.,
DETROIT, MICHIGAN, FROM THE DATE OF ITS
ORIGINAL WARRANT, SEVENTEEN HUND RED
AND SIXTY-FO UR, TO THE PRESENT DAY
HISTORICAL AND INTRODUCTORY.
HE eighteenth century gave birth to many great events and
great men. During the entire century Europe was almost con-
stantly convulsed. England, France and Spain—the great
maritime powers—held, in 1748, the whole of both American
continents, except what was then known as Russian Possessions, and is
now called Alaska. The national and reciprocal hatreds and jealousies
of their people, at home, were felt and manifested by their colonists
here. War at home caused war here. Truce or peace at home often
made rivalry and enmity more active and bitter here.
The colonial policy of Spain sought to accumulate gold and extend
the Catholic religion; that of England tended to build up States
with which to carry on commerce; while that of France seemed mainly
designed to thwart and defeat England. Spain held all South Amer-
ica, together with Florida and Mexico in North America. France held
the basin of the St. Lawrence and of the Great Lakes; it was in pos-
session of the mouth of the Mississippi river and laid claim to its entire
basin. England's colonies lay between the two. France and Spain,
agreeing in nothing but religion, hoped to make themselves the upper
and nether millstones between which to pulverize, at once and forever,
the power of England in America.
To this end, France sought to connect her possessions on the Lakes
and on the Mississippi by a double cordon of military posts between
their upper waters, which would be, to her and her forces, a highway
of inter-communication; to the English colonies a barrier that would
confine them to the Atlantic coast, a danger to threaten their safety,
and a force finally to crowd them out entirely.
This, to the English colonies, was a great danger; it was, also,
a great occasion. As often happens, the great occasion developed
the men for the occasion. The struggles under Braddock and others,
from 1753 to 1758, in Western Pennsylvania and on the Ohio, to
destroy the lower line of these French forts, between Lake Erie and
the Ohio, gave name and fame, among others, to the youthful Wash-
ington.
In 1748, at Aix la Chapelle, European diplomacy flattered itself
that it had invented a European “balance of power,” and had de-
termined, for ages, the colonial policy of its maritime States in
America. But at this very time, says Bancroft, “the woods of Vir-
ginia sheltered the youthful George Washington. * * * * God

had selected, not Kaunitz, nor Newcastle, not a monarch of the House
of Hapsburg nor of Hanover, but the Virginia stripling, to give a new
impulse to human affairs, and, as far as events can depend on an
individual, had placed the rights and the destinies of countless mil-
lions in the keeping of-The Widow's Son;”—who was first among
Masons, as he was “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts
of his countrymen.”
This French policy, of planting a double line of military posts
between the upper lakes and the Mississippi, touched Michigan very
vitally; for Detroit, Mackinaw, Green Bay and St. Joseph were
four important links in the upper chain. So, too, Michigan and her
future people were deeply interested when, by conquest in 1760,
confirmed by treaty in 1763, all Canada, Michigan and the great
Northwest, (east of the Mississippi,) became British possessions,
and the Frenchman's power to disturb this continent was brought to
an end. Again we were all affected, as time passed on, when the
American colonies, freed from fear of the French on the North and
West, began to think of resistance to the oppressions and exactions
of the parent government.
At this point in the events of the century, on this Continent,
Masonic history in Michigan begins. England was now the owner
of all North America, north of Florida and east of the Mississippi;
but not the undisputed owner, for the Indian claimed his land and
denied her right. To defend her possession and her subjects against
the Indians, and the possibilities of a French revolt, she sent her
troops to Michigan, and her troops brought a Masonic lodge.
The dates or periods, most important in their bearing and influ-
ence on our early Masonic history, are:
First, A. D. 1760 to 1764, when Michigan passed from France to
England, and the first lodge was formed on Michigan soil.
Second, A. D. 1783 to 1794—following the Revolutionary war,
after which England held Michigan till 1796, as a dependency or part
of Canada, causing a change of masonic jurisdiction and relations.
Third, A. D. 1796 to 1806. Masonry and the fur trade; Michi-
gan surrendered to the United States; masonic jurisdiction and rela-
tions again changed.
Fourth, A. D. 1812 to 1820. The disturbances caused by the
second war with England, resulting in the lapse and the renewal of
the only masonic charter in the territory.
Fifth, A. D. 1821 to 1840. Four new lodges formed; the first
Grand Lodge organized; effects of anti-masonic politics.
Sia:th, A. D. 1840 to 1844. The circumstances preceding and
attending the formation of the unrecognized Grand Lodge of 1841,
and of our present Grand Lodge in 1844.
The historical material of this sketch will be grouped around these
six periods, because all, or nearly all, the important events of our
early masonic history will be found to have been largely influenced or
wholly shaped by their military, political or commercial surroundings.

THE BEGINNING—ZION LODGE, NO. 1, ORGANIZED AT DETROIT IN
1764–ENGLISH JURISDICTION.
Michigan, at this time, for military purposes, was a part of Can-
ada, and Detroit was a British military post, “far beyond the fron-
tier.” All of what is now known as Western New York, Northern
Ohio and Upper Canada, was then a wilderness. Along the Detroit
river, on both sides, there were, according to the best authorities,
some three or four hundred French families, representing two thou-
sand to twenty-five hundred souls; but Detroit proper contained
about “five hundred souls,” living in “seventy to eighty log houses,”
all closely huddled together and surrounded by a stockade, “about
twenty feet high and twelve hundred yards in circumference.” The
official census of 1768 (four years later,) shows that the Post had
“five hundred and fourteen cultivated acres,” “six hundred horned
cattle and five hundred and sixty-seven hogs.”
The Ottawa, Pottawatamie and Wyandotte Indians occupied the
banks of the Detroit river, above and below, and they were united,
for offense and defense, under the dangerous leadership of the noted
and powerful chieftain Pontiac. The white people were mainly
French, with a few Scotch and English from Canada. Nearly all
subsisted by the fur trade.
It was in such soil and amid such environments that the seeds of
Masonry were first planted in Michigan.
In November, 1760, after the military capture of Canada by Eng-
land, (but nearly three years before peace was formally declared
between England and France,) British troops, under Major Rogers,
took possession of Detroit. “A large part of this force,” says Judge
Campbell's history of Michigan, “consisted of several companies of
the 60th, or Royal American Regiment, officered chiefly by American
Gentlemen from New York and other eastern colonies.”
February 10th, 1763, a definite treaty of peace was signed, at
Paris, by France and England; after which the British troops held,
as to France, peaceable possession of Detroit, Mackinaw and other
military posts in Michigan. But quiet was brief, for in May of this
year the garrisons at Mackinaw and St. Joseph were massacred, and
the memorable and bloody siege of Detroit was begun by the Indians
under Pontiac. Detroit was closely beleaguered till the late autumn
of the same year.
War with France having now ceased, and the Indians forced to
become quiet neighbors, resident Masons and those also in the 60th
regiment at Detroit, (its officers being, as we have seen, “chiefly
American gentlemen from New York,”) had leisure, for a while,
to cultivate social relations and the arts of peace.
They petitioned Provincial Grand Master Harison, of New York,
for a Warrant to open at Detroit, a Lodge of Master Masons.
The request was granted, and the following warrant was issued
by him on the 27th day of April, A. D. 1764.

years old, is now for the first time published. The original document
was found among the archives of the Grand Lodge of New York, in
1876 and was by that body restored to Zion Lodge No. 1, on June 8,
1893, through the Grand Lodge of Michigan, by our late brother John
L. Reid, Past Grand Representative of the Grand Lodge of Michigan
to the Grand Lodge of New York, on November 17, 1897, and is now
in possession of and cherished by Zion Lodge No. 1 as its greatest
treasure.
Thus began organized Masonry in Michigan, one hundred and
fifty years ago.
Local historians mention the presence in Detroit of “the 60th” or
“Royal American Regiment,” or detachments of it, from 1760 to 1767
—four years before and three years after the lodge was formed—but
do not state how much, if any, longer it remained stationed there.
Judge Campbell's history says: “The officers of the 60th seem to
have been much better qualified to deal with the Indians than some of
their associates.” “ * * * “The officers of the 60th were gen-
erally well thought of in the country.” “ * * * “Capt. Donald
Campbell of the 60th was the first commandant.”
It should be borne in mind that the “60th”—men and officers—
was American. Other troops and officers stationed here were English.
Naturally enough the American troops, as compared with others,
understood the people better, had sympathies and interests more in
common with them, liked them better and, for good reasons, were
better liked by them in return. This friendly and fraternal feeling
between the “60th” and the people of Detroit becomes a factor of some
importance in our Masonic History.
The circumstances attending the formation of “Lodge No. 1 at
Detroit,” seem to indicate that its warrant was obtained through the
influence and agency of the officers of the “60th,” who, being “New
York gentlemen,” undoubtedly had masonic acquaintance and influence
in that city. The same circumstances also raise the question whether
it was a “military” or “local” lodge?
“Military Lodges” were forbidden by English G. L. Regulations
to admit or make masons of any but “military men of rank”—i. e.,
above the grade of privates. Residents of stations and others not in
the army, were excluded. This was, many times, a wise and prudent
rule, both in its military and its masonic aspects; but its enforcement
was not always necessary. This restriction was distinctly expressed
in all military warrants granted by English Grand Masters in those
days, but not always in the warrants given by their Provincial Depu-
ties. Indeed, there is abundant evidence that some “Military Lodges”
with English troops serving in the American colonies, prior to the
Revolution, did not obey the rule. The sanction given by the Pro-
vincial Deputies to this departure from a rule, rigidly enforced else-
where, indicates that they were permitted, in this matter, as in others,
the exercise of a sound discretion.
The Worshipful Master, named in the Detroit Warrant, is “Lieut.
John Christie of the 60th Regiment;” but the warrant contains no

other language that gives the lodge, or indicates that it had, a military
character. Whether “Sampson Fleming, Senior Warden and Josias
Harper, Junior Warden” were soldiers or citizens is not indicated, and
we do not now know. None but “military men of rank” being per-
mitted, by English regulations, to be members or officers of a “Mili-
tary Lodge,” (if this was such a lodge,) why should not the “rank'
of the Wardens be stated in the Warrant as well as that of the Wor-
shipful Master? The inference seems to be that they were residents
in civil life, and not “military men.”
Furthermore the language of the Warrant gives power “to make
masons as also to do and execute all things lawful in masonry.” Its
limits are the limits of masonry only—unless an exception be found in
the clause of the Warrant enjoining them to “observe and keep the
Rules, Orders, Regulations and Instructions contained in our Constitu-
tions.” But we have already seen that the rule excluding civilians was
not always observed in those times, even by the “Military Lodges”
whose Warrants expressly commanded its enforcement.
The probabilities of the situation all point in the direction of a
“Local Lodge.” It has been previously stated that the “60th.” had
been stationed at Detroit nearly four years before this Warrant was
granted, and that friendly relations existed between it and the people.
The fur trade, the principal business interest of the locality, demanded
that its agents and managers, trusted as they were by their principals
with large interests, should be men of a high order of intelligence and
character. The history of the times shows that they were such and
that they readily commanded the respect of intelligent and cultivated
men. They were both loyal subjects and good masonic material. It
was the policy of the British Government to foster this trade and to
favor its operations. Indeed, its troops were located in this region,
mainly, for the very purpose of protecting these vast interests. Why
then should the gentlemen representing these interests be repulsed by
American “Military men” from masonic association? Soldiers and
civilians, huddled closely together in the stockade, compelled to a
social life in common, encountering the same hardships and exposed
to the same dangers, could not be wholly separated in their masonic
relations. Neither military nor masonic reasons required it—all rea-
sons, good fellowship and good sense, forbade it.
A lodge, Once formed in such a locality and commingling such men,
would be quite sure to be committed to the care and the custody of the
civilian who stayed at home, while the soldier went and came on his
military expeditions, and who remained behind when the soldier was
ordered away.
One fact bears strongly on this question, (it can only be stated
here): It will hereafter appear that residents of Detroit in civil life
must have shared, (perhaps more than equally,) with the soldiers, in
the rights and privileges of this lodge, because these resident Masons
kept and used this identical old warrant long after the “60th.” had left,
and their Masonic right to do so was recognized, and the Masonic work

done under it by them and their successors, was accepted by the Grand
Lodge of New York.
All these reasons and facts serve to show that the Lodge originally
was “local,” or, if “military” at the beginning, that it soon became
“local” by its practice and usage.
But there is no evidence, direct or inferential, to show how long
its organization was maintained, nor how much or how regularly it
labored.
Referring to the copy of the warrant, it will be noticed that the
Lodge formed by its authority was “Number one, to be held at Detroit
under “whatever name” the brethren might choose. It clearly appears
that “Zion Lodge” was the name chosen, by which it was known and
registered as Number 448 on the Registry of England of that date,
and afterwards under the same name by the Grand Lodges of Canada
and of New York, though registered by each with a different number.

i ZION LODGE, DETROIT, 1794–JURISDICTION OF CANADA.
A hundred years ago, Masons and Masonic bodies were not fond
of records. With a legal and proper warrant for a Lodge, once in
possession, we hear or read but little of their doings, while they remain
º at peace among themselves and with the Supreme Masonic Power.
t For this reason, and because of the difficulty of preserving such records
º On the frontier, and for other reasons yet to be mentioned, it is not
Strange, however much it is to be regretted, that a hiatus of thirty
h years should here be found in the recorded history of Zion Lodge.
i Subsequent events show, however, that during a portion, at least, of
this long period, she maintained life and performed labor.
t The surveyor, skilled in woodcraft and in his profession, counts it
i no very difficult task to recognize, to trace and to date the “hacks” and
{ the “blaze” of his dead and forgotten predecessor. And so the Mason,
ſ who studies a ruin whose story is unrecorded or forgotten—if he recog-
| nize “the work and the mark of the Craft upon it”—will read aright
. at least some part of its history. The builder was his brother. And so
ſ in the written history—if, in the course of time, importance attach to
an event without a record, the succeeding event, by the backward
pointing and illumination inherent in the relations of cause and effect,
often makes that plain and clear which, at first, was left in darkness
and obscurity. And so too, it is hoped, the later events and the later
records of this history, yet to appear, will so reflect back Masonic light
around the events of these thirty years, as to satisfactorily demonstrate
that Zion Lodge had life and workmen at work over one hundred years
agO
To adequately depict or fully comprehend the next phase of Zion
º Lodge history, it must be borne in mind that many important events
had happened, during this long interval of thirty years, to disturb
and to fundamentally change political conditions and military policy
in Michigan, in America and in Europe The American colonies had
declared their independence; the War of the Revolution had been
fought and won; peace had been declared; and the Independence of
the United States had been recognized by England and the civilized
! world. All this, happening during these thirty years, rendered peace
or rest an impossibility in Michigan, although her soil was not, in any
| proper sense, the theater of the conflict.
. Starting, now, from 1783, (the date of the treaty of peace made
: after the Revolution between the United States and England), we
i find that every political relation between the two governments was
# Seemingly pleasant—but One: England still persisted, as she had from
the close of the Revolutionary war in 1781, in holding possession of
and in claiming title to the west water-shed of the great lakes, including
Michigan.
; But among the business men at Detroit engaged in the fur trade,
: there were many that preferred English rule, and others practical
: enough to accept the situation. Among them, and possibly also among
º the troops, (though of this we have no positive information), there

were Masons and they wanted a Lodge. Whether the lodge organized
in 1764 was doing work or not we do not know, but it is probable that,
for some reason, it was not. But its Warrant was in eacistence and was
in the possession of Masons then in Detroit, as subsequent events will
conclusively prove. But we have no evidence, except that furnished
by subsequent developments, to show whether or not the old lodge and
its warrant were alive, or whether or not the Masons, having the old
documents in custody, participated in this movement for a new lodge.
Michigan was now claimed and held by England as an integral part of
Upper Canada, and the Masonic jurisdiction, therefore, was nominally
in the Grand Lodge of Canada, already organized. But the Grand
Lodge of New York was also in working order and the old warrant,
if lapsed, might have been renewed by it but for the question of juris-
diction. Policy, as well as feeling, inclined Detroit Masons, at this
time, to acknowledge the Canada jurisdiction, for seven years of war
and ten more years of quarrel concerning possession of the soil would
naturally influence even Masonic relations. The loyal subjects of
Great Britain, then predominant in Detroit, would not take kindly to
New York jurisdiction; and, on the other hand, the then existing New
York authorities would not wish to exercise Masonic jurisdiction over
the loyal subjects of England, even on territory claimed by the United
States but not in its possession.
However all these things may have been we find, as a fact, in our
Masonic history, that on September 7th, A. D. 1794, the following
warrant was issued to the brethren in Detroit, by the officers of the
Provincial Grand Lodge of Canada:

tered in the Grand Lodge, Vol- }

It will be observed that the body of this warrant gives the Lodge
neither name nor number; but it was registered by the Grand Lodge of
Canada as “Zion Lodge No. 10,” and its warrant is so endorsed on its
margin. Whether the original Zion Lodge of 1764 had ceased to
exist, or whether there was a schismatic attempt to have two Zion
Lodges, or whether there was a proper and brotherly effort to have a
new Lodge under the new jurisdiction, to perpetuate the old name,
there is no record to show. The records of the Provincial Grand Lodge
of Canada, make no mention of the old warrant of 1764. They do
not say, nor do we know, whether, (according to Masonic custom), in
asking for a new warrant, the Detroit brethren surrendered or at-
tempted to surrender their old warrant. This silence in regard to it
may find an easy solution in the fact, that the Grand Lodge of Canada
. was of the party of “Ancients,” while the Grand Lodge of England,
and all Lodges working under its warrants, were scornfully termed
“Moderns.”
The first record by Zion Lodge No. 10 is as follows:

at the house of Bro. James Donaldson, in Detroit, December 19th,
1794, instituted the Lodge and installed James Donaldson as its Wor-
shipful Master.” Its records, as usual, are scanty. But there is one
other interesting item of its record—the very last entry—which has
been preserved, the significance of which can be better shown in con-
nection with the events of the next period of this history.
Only two years after the forming of this Lodge, England, (endan-
gered by France under Napoleon, and fearing America's use of her
opportunity), surrendered to the United States the territory in dispute;
her troops, now sorely needed in Europe, were promptly removed from
Detroit, Mackinaw and other military posts in the territory, and, in
1796, American troops, unopposed, planted for the first time, the flag
and the institutions of the United States at Detroit, on what is now
the soil of Michigan.

Zion Lodge, No. 1, F. & A. M., Detroit, Michigan
-
ZION LODGE, DETROIT, 1806–NEW YORK JURISDICTION.
By this important transaction the political allegiance and Masonic
jurisdiction of Michigan were again changed. But the feelings and
attitude of influential people of the locality slowly changed. England
had held Detroit thirty-six years; her power and influence and pro-
tection had, of necessity, drawn thither many staunch and loyal sup-
porters of her government, especially from among the people engaged
in the fur trade. The French element, a numerical majority, had been
# stoical or indifferent under protracted British rule; but lately the
: British yoke had galled, because their brethren in France were in arms
| against England; and they heartily rejoiced with the local American
| element, (then not numerous), on British retirement and American
ascendency. But the elements in sympathy with England were, at
first, locally dominant in influence because they controlled the capital
and the business of the entire Northwest. They were unfriendly to the
American rule because their business interests were dependent on
British ascendency, and they held themselves ready to participate in
an effort to revive that ascendency when opportunity should offer.
But the opportunity never came, and the new conditions, political, mili-
; tary and commercial, soon brought, in controlling numbers, a new
people with feelings and interests in harmony with the new relations on
the American shores of the great lakes.
The old Hudson's Bay Fur Company, unwilling to abandon this,
to it, valuable territory of the Northwest, had been for years the secret
but powerful instigator of the differences and difficulties which, in
great part, prevented the earlier surrender of this territory by England
: and the establishment of peace and amity between the two governments.
; This company now sought, by art and intrigue, to maintain a trade
which, before the surrender of the territory, it held by right. It had
| at first many friends among the people whose sympathies it retained
. by promoting their interests. But, little by little, it was compelled to
retire from the ground. John Jacob Astor, a resident of New York, a
: heavy capitalist, a determined speculator, a zealous Mason, for three
years, during this period, the Grand Treasurer of the Grand Lodge of
New York, was the head, (and the body too,) of the American Fur
Co., and wielded a great influence, through his agents, traders and
ſ voyagers, (many of them Masons,) everywhere in the Northwest.
| Prior to 1796 his fur trade in this region was subject to English regu-
lation and his furs could only be sold in London. But now his great
: trade, with all its influences, centered in New York. Backed by the
* power of the United States he became a power in Detroit and Mack-
inaw, and at Green Bay, (now Wisconsin,) on Lake Michigan. Private
letters, still preserved, show that his masonic position was also used,
| directly and indirectly, to influence Masons and through them to build
up his trade. And so the various new influences and associations,
centering at Detroit, slowly, but Surely and favorably, changed the
feelings and the attitude of its original people towards their new gov-
ernment and its interests.

With these changes came others, and among them a Masonic
change. In the spring of 1806 we find the brethren of Detroit peti-
tioning the Grand Lodge of New York for a charter. With this
petition they sent in and Surrendered to Grand Lodge the original war-
rant of 1764, but not the Canada warrant of 1794. The records of the
Grand Lodge of New York show, that on September 3rd, 1806, a
charter was granted by vote of Grand Lodge and issued by the author-
ity of DeWitt Clinton, then Grand Master, to the brethren of Detroit,
by which Zion Lodge was reformed and recorded as “No. 1 at Detroit.”
This same record speaks of the petitioners as “at present members of
Zion Lodge, No. 1,” and also as “under a warrant from the Grand
Lodge of Quebec.” It also speaks of them as “surrendering their
former warrant”—what warrant is not definitely stated, unless the
earlier of these two warrants was meant.
“Zion Lodge No. 1 at Detroit,” the designation given by the old
warrant, is repeated by the Grand Lodge of New York, both in its
record and in the charter granted. By this it recognizes both the
validity of the old instrument and the right of the petitioning brethren
to have it and to Surrender it. Speaking, also, of the same brethren as
“under a warrant from the Grand Lodge of Quebec,” (Canada,)
although ignoring their relations to it as members, and ignoring also
the number of the Lodge on the Canada Register, it does, nevertheless,
recognize the existence of that later instrument; and by the two entries,
taken together, it virtually declares the true succession of Masonic
title, to both old warrants, to be in the petitioners. Subsequent pro-
ceedings of the same Grand Lodge, in 1819, to be hereafter quoted,
give emphasis to these conclusions. But the warrant of 1764 is steadily
and consistently recognized by New York authorities, as the original
organic act of Masonry in Michigan. r
It will be now in place, to copy and consider that interesting closing
item, in the Record of “Zion Lodge No. 10,” before spoken of. The
New York charter, just given to Zion Lodge, bears date September
3d, 1806. The records of the Lodge, under the Canada charter, close
with the following entry, dated June 24th, 1807—nearly a year after
the date of the new charter from New York, viz:
“The Master Mason's Lodge was then closed and an Entered
Apprentice Lodge opened. The Entered Apprentice Lodge was then
closed as usual, in perfect love and harmony, and Stands closed forever,
by order of the Worshipful Master and Brethren.”
After twelve days the Brethren convened, July 6th, 1807, to or-
ganize under the New York charter. Before giving the record, still
preserved, of this interesting ceremony, it will be proper to inquire
why its re-organization was delayed nearly a year? The record does
not state why, but local history offers a probable and sufficient answer.
Michigan Territory was organized by Congress in January, 1805.
Gen. Wm. Hull was its first Governor. He and the other Territorial
officers arrived in Detroit June 12th, 1805, to find that on the previous
day, June 11th, the entire town had been destroyed by fire, only two
buildings escaping. Re-building did not proceed rapidly, except in the

rudest and most temporary form, because it was at once decided that
the old, compact, crowded methods of building, of combustible material,
within a stockade, once necessary as a defense against Indians, must
be abandoned and that the future city must have a new plan, with wide
streets, not only to promote convenience and comfort, but to prevent
other conflagrations. But this change of plan was found to bristle with
difficulties, chief among which was the condition of titles to land. In
the winter of 1805-6 Congress passed an act providing that a plan
should be devised by the “Governor and Judges”—the governing
power of the territory.
The plan devised presented many new difficulties, not necessary to
mention here, which caused great delay in its adoption, and after adop-
tion, by the many amendments it required. This delay and the conse-
quent difficulty of obtaining valid and permanent title to land or lots
for building purposes, prevented the construction of permanent and
commodious buildings until the spring and summer of 1807. (To
illustrate the state of land titles:–The United States Land Commis-
sioners reported, in the winter of 1805-6, that there were “but six good
farm titles in the Territory.”) So that, it seems highly probable, that
Zion Lodge No. 10, for want of a proper and safe place of meeting,
did not—indeed, could not—meet often, especially for labor, during
the two years intervening between June 11th, 1805, the date of the
fire, and June 24th, 1807, the date of closing “forever,” the Lodge
under the Canada charter. It will be noticed in the record, which fol-
lows, that the new Lodge was organized, under the New York charter,
at a private house.
Returning now to July 6th, 1807, the date of reorganization, the
record states: “In conformity to a dispensation, granted to the Wor-
shipful Wm. McD. Scott, Past Master of Zion Lodge No. 10, by the
Most Worshipful and Honorable De Witt Clinton, Esq., Grand Master
of the Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient and Honorable Fraternity o
Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York.” + “ * *
“the following Brethren, regularly summoned, gave their attendance
at a Hall prepared for the Installation of Zion Lodge No. 1, under the
jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of New York.”
“The Hall,” we are informed, consisted of “a room in the house
of Brother John Palmer, Esq.,” and the Record shows, in the following
form, the brethren present:
“Bros. Wm. McD. Scott, James Abbott, Leonard Brooks, Joseph
Emerson, George McDougall, Richard Smyth, John Dodemead,
John Harvey, Christopher Tuttle, Philip Lecuyer, Jean Bap. Com-
parer, John Conner, James Conner, S. Townshend, James Forsyth,
James Grow.”
George McDougall was the recently appointed Chief Judge of the
District Court and James Abbott was one of the Associate Justices,
although a merchant and not a lawyer. John Dodemead kept a noted
tavern which stood near the present site of the “Michigan Exchange.”
Judge Campbell's History mentions “Dr. William McDowell Scott,”

“read its service on the Sabbath.”
The Record continues: “The Lodge was opened on the third
degree by Wm. McD. Scott, the substitute of the Grand Master. The
late officers of Zion Lodge No. 10 under the Grand Lodge of “Lower
Canada” were present and members as before given. The stations and
places were occupied as follows:
“Bro. Wm. McD. Scott, P. M., in the chair; Philip Lecuyer, S.
W.; Richard Smyth, J. W.; John Dodemead, Treasurer; Geo. Mc-
Dougale, Secretary; John Palmer, Senior Deacon; Jean B. Comparer,
Junior Deacon; John Conner, Tyler.”
“The usual ceremonies were conducted, the Lodge declared duly
constituted, and Bro. James Abbott installed as Master.”
The next item of interest furnished, five years later, by these
records, is the following dated August 12th, 1812: “Bro. Lewis Cass,
ºrican Union Lodge No. 1, of Ohio, was admitted as a
member.”

Zion Lodge, No. 1, F. & A. M., Detroit, Michigan
º ZION LODGE, DETROIT, 1812-20–SECOND WAR WITH ENGLAND.
At a meeting of Zion Lodge held September 7th, 1812, “Bro. East-
man, W. M.” Occupied the chair. “The reading of the minutes having
.* been dispensed with, the Worshipful Master offered the following pre-
amble and resolution which were adopted by the Lodge: *
“Since the last regular communication of this Lodge, the American
} flag having been lowered and that of his Brittannic Majesty's having
- been substituted, to wit: on the 16th day of August last, at noon, from
which and from the political situation of the country generally, it
appearing expedient that an early and more full Lodge should be held,
º i. Rºyed. That this Lodge be closed until the 12th of September,
. L. 5812.
On September 12th, 1812, the Lodge met pursuant to adjournment
with Bro. Eastman, W. M., in the chair. “It was unanimously agreed
that the Charter, Jewels and Implements of the Lodge be deposited
with Bro. Dennoyer (Peter J.7) for safe keeping; and the Lodge
adjourned [for one year, or] until the first Monday in September,
(6th) A. L. 5813.”
The military conflict having continued longer than was at first
anticipated, no meeting was held on the date to which the Lodge had
adjourned, nor, for three years after; and thus, by not meeting for
more than a year, Zion Lodge charter again lapsed, of which a further
+ account will subsequently appear. Perry's victory on Lake Erie
occurred September 10th, 1813, only four days after the day to which
the Lodge had adjourned. This victory had an immediate and in-
portant effect.
Gen. Harrison, with the aid of Commodore Perry, soon drove the
; English forces into Canada, and on the 5th of October, 1813, at the
Battle of the Thames, the former completely routed the combined
! forces of the British and Indians under Gen. Proctor and Tecumseh.
The latter was killed; six hundred prisoners and six pieces of cannon
were captured. In October Gen. Lewis Cass became Governor of the
Territory; the American flag again waved at Detroit, and so has con-
tinued to wave till now.
It is easy to imagine the secret delight of some, the fear and anxiety
: of others and the confusion and disturbance of all at Detroit during
: these twenty-five days of suspense following Perry's victory and ending
with Harrison's. Many reasons can be imagined why the Brethren of
Zion Lodge did not meet on the first Monday in September, just on
: the eve of such stirring events. The true reason is not recorded,
except, that it was “owing to the late war.”
But from this time on (as the sequel will show), till Zion Lodge
: joined with other Lodges, in the Territory, to organize the Grand
i Lodge of the Territory of Michigan, in 1826, the history of its relations
to and with the New York Grand Lodge, is full and clear, notwith-
standing the lapse of its charter during the disturbances caused by the
“Second War of American Independence.”

authority in New York in 1806, having lapsed for the reasons and

“On April 9th, 1816, a meeting of Zion Lodge was held, at which
Sylvester Day was Worshipful Master pro tem in the chair. A com-
munication was read from the Grand Lodge of New York, of which
the following is a copy:
“New York, March 14th, 1816.
“To the Committee of Zion Lodge,
(late No. 1,) No. 62.
Brethren, I duly received your communication for the Grand Lodge and laid
it before them at their last meeting and now enclose you their proceedings thereon.
Considering that Zion Lodge has worked so many years without paying any dues
to Grand-Lodge, their resolution will be deemed a liberal compromise of the dues to
which they were entitled. These ought to be made regularly once a year; and
though I have several times received the returns of the names of the members, they
have never been accompanied with the dues. I have therefore in charge, from the
Grand Lodge, to inform you that it will expect in future a punctual discharge of
Zion Lodge dues from the time they commence working under the warrant, to which
I beg the particular attention of the Lodge.
The alteration of the number has been owing to a re-arrangement of numbers
of all the Lodges under the jurisdiction of this Grand Lodge since the issuing of
Zion warrant [warrant of 1806, and according to which it now stands on our books
as No. 62. The Lodge will hereafter distinguish itself by that number.
I have the honor to be

The extract from the Grand Lodge proceedings to which reference
was made by Bro. Wells, Grand Secretary, was as follows:
“Grand Lodge, New York, March 6th, 5816.
“A petition from a Committee of Zion Lodge No. 1 was read,
stating that owing to the late war the Lodge had been obliged to sus-
pend its labor for so long a time as thereby to forfeit its charter and
praying that the same might be renewed; whereupon it was “Resolved,
That the said charter be renewed and said Lodge to be known here-
after as Zion Lodge No. 62, providing, however, that the said Lodge
do within six months pay to the Grand Lodge the sum of $50, in behalf
of all past dues from the time of their beginning to work under the
renewal of their warrants hereby granted. In default whereof the
same shall be forfeited to this Grand Lodge.”

This matter was fully discussed by the Lodge, after which, on mo-
tion of the Secretary, it was
“Resolved, That the Lodge accept the conditions presented by the
Grand Lodge of the State of New York which have this evening been
made, and that in future Zion Lodge No. 1 be called and known by the
name of Zion Lodge No. 62; and that the By-Laws heretofore adopted
by Zion Lodge No. 1 be adopted for the government of Zion Lodge
No. 62—provided, nevertheless, that as much of the third article as
requires that the officers of the Lodge should be elected on the regular
communication next preceding the Festival of St. John the Evangelist,
be suspended and excepted and that the Lodge do proceed to elect and
install the Officers of this Lodge on Monday the 15th of April, 5816.”
The resolution and proviso were adopted, when, after the transac-
tion of some routine business, “His Excellency, Bro. L. Cass, was
admitted as a member and paid to the Treasurer $2.” [Gen. Cass had
now been Governor of the Territory for three years, which office he
continued to hold till 1831—eighteen years in all.]
“The Lodge met April 15th, 1816, in conformity to adjournment,
with Bro. Day in the chair.
“The following Brethren were declared legally elected as officers
to serve until the next Festival of St. John the Evangelist, viz:
“His Excellency Bro. L. CASS, Worshipful Master.
SYLVESTER DAY, Senior Warden.
PHILIP LECUYER, Junior Warden.
SOLOMON LEBBY, Treasurer.
JAMES ABBOTT, Secretary.
Bros. Lebby and Abbott were appointed as a Committee to wait
upon His Excellency, Brother Cass, and inform him of his election to
the office of Worshipful Master of the Lodge. No further business
appearing the Lodge adjourned.”
“On the 6th of May, 1816, the Lodge met and Bro. Abbott, for the
special committee appointed at the last communication to wait upon
Bro. Cass and inform him of his election, Reported, That, Bro. Cass
was exceedingly thankful to the Brethren of the Lodge for the honor
º conferred upon him, but circumstances would oblige him to
ecline.”
“His Excellency having declined the office, the Lodge proceeded to
ballot. On counting the votes Bro. Sylvester Day was found to have
been legally elected Worshipful Master. A ballot for Senior Warden
resulted in the election of Brother Bender.”
And so, for the fourth time, Zion Lodge was organized and
equipped for Masonic labor.
Following the order of events, we come now to one of peculiar
Masonic interest and of significant importance in this history, which
is free from all influences outside of Masonry.

New York convened June 2nd, 1819, “His Excellency De Witt Clin-
ton, L. L. D., Governor of the State of New York, being Grand
Master,” declare the fact that “on the 4th inst.,” all the Lodges of
its Grand Jurisdiction were “re-numbered according to the dates of
their respective warrants”—meaning, by this, their original warrants.
The Records, proper, make no further mention of the act, nor do they
furnish any details of the results; but an inspection of the official
Register, of that date, shows that Zion Lodge No. 62 has become “No.
3,” because of her old warrant of April 27th, 1764.
This Register, (so far as the first four Lodges,) has been accurately
copied, and is here reproduced, viz:

“Old St. John’s” Lodge No. 1, of New York City, was seven
years, and Independent Royal Arch Lodge No. 2, also of New York
City, was four years older than Zion Lodge No. 3; and the latter was
nearly one year older than Mt. Vernon Lodge No. 4, at Albany. It
appears, from the history of Mt. Vernon Lodge, contained in the
authorized reprint of the old Records of the Grand Lodge of New
York, that Mt. Vernon, very naturally, contested with Zion Lodge
the right to this number; Mt. Vernon had been No. 3 and Zion 62;
but the old records and their warrants on file (both granted by Pro-
vincial G. H. Harison,) settled the dispute; and so the oldest, and
then the only, Albany Lodge gave place to her sister in “the far West.”
No. 3 continued to be the registered number of Zion Lodge till 1826,
when she became No. 1 and a part of the first Grand Lodge of Mich-
igan. Mt. Vernon then resumed and still holds, on the New York
Registry, her former number. These proceedings entitle Zion Lodge
to the Masonic distinction of being the oldest Lodge in the United
States west of Hudson River.

Prominence is given to this matter of number, not to glorify the
mere rank thereby conferred on Zion Lodge among New York Lodges
eighty-five years ago, but because it is the last link needed to complete
and confirm the chain of title that makes the Zion Lodge of to-day,
the lineal descendant and the legitimate Masonic heir of the Zion
Lodge of one hundred and fifty years ago.
Recapitulating, briefly, the links of evidence, furnished wholly by
authentic records, to this completed chain, we find:

t 2nd, Lord John Proby, Grand Master of England in 1753;
3rd, George Harison appointed by G. M. Proby the same year,
Provincial Grand Master of New York;
4th, Prov. G. M. Harison installed and proclaimed, also the same
i year by Francis Geolet, his predecessor in office;
5th, His many official acts, records of which are preserved, all
approved by Masonic authority in England and, such of them as re-
Quired it, confirmed by Sir John Johnson, his successor in office;
T 6th, His Warrant of Constitution to Zion “Lodge No. 1 at Detroit.”
dated April 27th, 1764;
7th, This warrant witnessed by “Peter Middleton,” who from 1771
to 1781 was Deputy and acting Provincial Grand Master of New York
in place of Sir John Johnson, who left New York at the beginning of
the Revolutionary War;
8th, The Masonic Jurisdiction of Zion Lodge having been changed
by military and political events, to Canada, it is rechartered by the
Grand Lodge of Canada in 1794;
9th, Its jurisdiction having been again changed by the surrender
of Michigan to the United States, it is again chartered by the Grand
Lodge of New York in 1806—the record of the event showing its
surrender of the old warrant of 1764 and the fact that it was working
under the later Canada charter of 1794;
10th, The renewal of its charter in 1816, becoming No. 62, by the
Grand Lodge of New York, made necessary by the war of 1812-15;
11th, Its number changed, in 1819, by the Grand Lodge of New
i York, from No. 62 to No. 3, because its original warrant of 1764 was
| found, by that body, to be third in age and in chronological order; its
history and Masonic relations being clear and unquestioned from this
date down to the present time;
12th. This original warrant is found in 1876, in the archives of the
; Grand Lodge of New York—the signatures thereto found to be au-
º thentic by comparison with the same signatures appended to documents
of established authenticity.
The Grand Lodge of New York having investigated and deter-
mined the validity and the age of this old warrant, the new number of
Zion Lodge followed as a logical and necessary sequence; but to us,
who study the event long after its occurrence, the number, by its rela-

tions to preceding events, gives validity, vitality and continuity to the
early history of the Lodge; because, it was conferred by that body of
Masons having the right and being most competent (by its knowledge
of events of which we have no record), to judge of the origin, history,
work and true Masonic rank of its subordinate. Our confidence in the
justice and propriety of this decision is greatly strengthened by the
fact, that this relative Masonic rank was assigned by New York author-
ity, to Zion Lodge, in preference to and against the earnest opposition
of Mt. Vernon Lodge at Albany, one of its oldest, largest and most
influential Lodges—then the only Lodge at its political capital—which
indicates that reasons of irresistible force and cogency dictated its de-
cision in favor of its weak subordinate on the frontier.
In a former chapter, after recording the fact of a hiatus of thirty
years in the early records of Zion Lodge, hope was expressed that
subsequent developments, by their backward illumination, might so
light up these thirty years of darkness as to demonstrate that the old
Lodge lived and labored over one hundred years ago. This number is
that light; it is the missing link, also, that completes the chain of evi-
dence and of title; it is like that ancient key stone, of singular form
and beauty, found among the rubbish, which fits and completes the
arch that spans the one hundred and fifty years of Zion Lodge history,
giving unity, beauty and dignity to the now harmonious whole.
Thus Zion Lodge, now No. 3 of the Grand Lodge of New York,
was, amid warfare and siege and fire and political vicissitudes and great
hardships, the sole representative of Masonry on the soil of Michigan,
from 1764 to 1821; and the History of Masonry in Michigan during
these fifty-seven years is the History of Zion Lodge.
Zion Lodge, from its beginning down to 1845 and since, has worked under seven
different warrants or charters, and under four different jurisdictions, viz:
“No. 1 at Detroit” from G. L. of England, by its Prov. G. M. Harison, A. D. 1764.
“No. 10” from G. L. Canada, A. D. 1794.
“No. 1 at Detroit from G. L. New York, A. D. 1806.
“No. 62” (number changed in 1819 to “No. 3.”) from G. L. New York, A. D. 1816.
“No. 1” from G. L. Territory of Mich., A. D., 1826.
“No. 99" from G. L. of N. Y., A. D. 1844.
“No. 1” from G. L. of the State of Michigan, A. D. 1845.

ZION LODGE, DETROIT, 1821 TO THE PRESENT DAY-FIRST
GRAND LODGE.
But from 1821 Zion Lodge no longer occupied the field alone. The
Records of the Grand Lodge of New York, of September 5th, 1821,
contain the following entry:
“To John Mullett and others praying for a warrant to hold a Lodge
in the city of Detroit, in the Territory of Michigan, U. S. of A., by the
name of Detroit Lodge No. 337, recommended by Zion Lodge No. 3,
the prayer of which was granted.”—To this entry is appended the fol-
lowing note: “This Lodge was instituted and its officers installed
December 26th, 1821, by A. G. Whitney, Past Master of Zion Lodge,
under dispensation from the Most Worshipful His Excellency, Daniel
D. Tompkins, Vice President of the United States, with a procession
and service in Church.”
In 1822 Zion Lodge also particpated in the formation of Masonic
Lodges at Pontiac, Mich.; Green Bay, Wisconsin (at that time in the
territory of Michigan); and Monroe, Michigan; these various lodges
being recommended to the Grand Lodge of New York by Zion Lodge.
The movement which resulted in the formation of the first Grand
Lodge of the Territory of Michigan, was initiated by Zion Lodge, at
a Regular held August 1st, 1825; and soon thereafter a call for a con-
vention of Masons, who were also officers or legal representatives of
Lodges in the Territory, was issued by Zion Lodge No. 3 and Detroit
Lodge No. 337, through a joint committee of the two Lodges, of which
Bro. A. G. Whitney, P. M. of Zion Lodge, Detroit, was the Chairman.
The response to this call, given by Menominee Lodge No. 374, of
Green Bay, is yet preserved, and bears date November 7th, 1825. We
are informed by subsequent records and events that, to this circular,
favorable replies were sent by all the lodges then organized in the Terri-
tory. In those days, when travel in Michigan was largely by water and
by sailing craft, it is apparent that the convention could not convenient-
ly meet in the late autumn or winter, nor very early in the spring.
Nearly a year after the call was issued the convention met at Detroit on
the 24th of June, 1826. The Lodges present, by their officers or legal
representatives, were Zion Lodge No. 3, Detroit Lodge No. 337, Men-
ominee Lodge No. 374, and Monroe Lodge No. 375—all chartered by
the Grand Lodge of New York, as previously stated. Oakland Lodge
No. 343, of Pontiac, also chartered by the same power, was not repre-
sented at the first meeting, but appeared later and participated in its
action. June 28th a G. L. Constitution was agreed upon and signed;
and at a meeting held July 31st Grand Officers were elected and the
Grand Lodge was fully formed.
With the origination of the Michigan Grand Lodge, Zion Lodge
became No. 1, and retained this number during the existence of that
Body, although the membership appears from the records to have
become very much reduced. Eventually the Grand Lodge suspended
labor, and requested its subordinate lodges to do likewise, and for
fifteen years the sun of Zion's prosperity was eclipsed.

Zion Lodge did not participate in the organization of the second
Grand Lodge, nor did it resume until that body dissolved its illegal
existence.
When the present Grand Lodge was organized, in 1844, Zion was
one of the first lodges to take active steps in that direction. On the
recommendation of the Grand Lodge of New York, Zion Lodge, with
the others who had previously had charters from that Grand Lodge,
applied for a renewal of her former warrant. This was immediately
granted, and Zion Lodge now became No. 99 on the registry of the
Grand Lodge of New York, and again started on a career of usefulness.
Zion Lodge and the other Masonic Lodges in Michigan met in
Convention at Detroit, on September 17th, 1844, and organized the
present Grand Lodge of Michigan, surrendered its warrant from the
Grand Lodge of New York, and became No. 1 under the warrant of
the Grand Lodge of the State of Michigan.
The further history of Zion Lodge now becomes intermingled with
the general history of the institution in Michigan. We have followed
her course from the time she was first organized until she is now given
her rightful place as No. 1 on the registry of Michigan. Since that
time she has kept steadily onward in the work of disseminating the
pure principles of Freemasonry, standing at the front, and doing grand
work in diffusing masonic light and elevating humanity. This masonic
field, so long occupied by herself alone, has grown and broadened, until
hundreds of lodges now occupy the field, and the membership, once
contained within her rolls alone, is now numbered by the thousands.
