Yes...links that mention them as a temperance organization: http://www.projo.com/specials/century/month1/124ri6.htm http://www.citymuseumdc.org/pdf/MSSguide.pdf Kathleen Gambrills, Maryland [email protected] or [email protected] FTM pages: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/b/o/w/Kathleen-E-Bowen Do not be afraid. ~ Pope John Paul II ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan Wheary To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 10:27 PM Subject: RE: [WashingtonDC'' ] Empire Council #14 Sns of Jonadab The Sons of Jonadab were mentioned in my g-g-grandfather's obituary (along with the Knights of Pythias). I wonder if they might have been some kind of temperance organization - the descendents of Jonadab in the Old Testament were supposed to have faithfully refrained from strong drink as well as permanent habitations (they "dwelt in tents"). My inclination (grantedly with little to go on) is that they are not part of the Masons.

I suspect it some sort of masonic lodge. ============================== Census images 1901, 1891, 1881 and 1871, plus so much more. Ancestry.com's United Kingdom & Ireland Collection.
