My friends - There has been a considerable amount of interest in my recent posting concerning one of the Masonic lodges in the JP region. Several posts have been made to this List, and I have received a number of others by private e-mail. As a result, I am currently compiling a listing of the lodges in the JP region in the mid-19th century, and I am locating the names of the members of those lodges in the 1860-1880 time range(it may be difficult or impossible to pin down exact years without more extensive research, but those who see a family member's name may wish to investigate further on their own). I hope to have this ready for posting by the end of this week. It may require more than one posting to communicate all of it, and, if so, a second one will soon follow the first. -B ====================================================================
