The Mystery of Union Lodge

   Very little is known about Union Lodge. The first historical mention of this lodge was in a letter dated 1784. It is assumed to have been legitimately chartered by a European Grand Lodge or one of several Provincial Grand Lodges then operating in the Colonies, but no evidence remains to identify its parentage. 

 

   In the few documents where Union Lodge is referenced, it is not given a Lodge number. This is curious, as Lodges established in the Colonies by European Grand Lodges during the 1730s-1760s were normally given numbers from those Grand Lodges.

 

   Much more research remains to be done on the origin and history of Union Lodge.
