How do I find Masonic records from the 1850s for Independence Co.? I am searching for information regarding parents, siblings, date of arrival in Indep. Co., etc. for Elijah Rogers, my GGGrandfather, b. 11 Oct 1825 in TN; died 18 June 1893 in Independence Co., AR. I thought perhaps Masonic records would have this type of information in them. I have considerable information about Elijah beginning 1850, but nothing about his parents other than that they were born in TN. I will be leaving home Oct 23 and be in Independence and Stone Counties beginning Oct 24, so, if anyone has any information that would help me I would appreciate an immediate reply. I apologize for this being such a last minute request! Thank you very much for any information available! Joanne
