The recent celebration of the JL50th anniversary, of Johnson Caswell Lodge Noi 10. A. F., &,A. M , kindles anew the interest of all North Carolina Ma- sons in the historic Dody.' " The , fol-U lowing is as nearly 'an 'accurate story of this lodge as'I. am able to obtain, ; The' early . history of Johnson-Cas well ' Lodge, goesjback one hundred and iifty years, and entwined with our early , history as a county. In ' 173o a grant is recorded to Edward ' Jones and Abigail Lugan for a tract of land on the. south'; sideof great Shbcco crek ' ' Edcrpcombe nrecinctj ' " This fact is mentioned . because this couple r were' the" common ancestors of a large m aj ori ty of the citizens of 1 Bute county-7-and of a great many citizens in i your own county ; of Wake,u!fand shows , that this , section was ' then Edgecombe precinct. Later Granville county was formed therefrom, and the will of Edwin - Jones was': recorded in Granville- county, . He , died a- mem ber : of the' Provincial : Assembly : Newburne in 1752 (see. Colonial Rec ords). This section was settled by men from Virginia- men of influence, good common sense and men who were prominent in shaping the early history of th4s colony men who willed books slaves to their childreri. v - - WILLIAM PARK FIRST MASTER ' It , was from men of this Btamp, with ' William Parker as master, that the Masonic Lodge of Bute was estab" lished 'On Buffalo." When' that was the .exact date we cannot, tell.' The records .of ; Bradford Bute, show that lodge was', working On Buffalo" in 1776k and all j the leaves in the rec ord book1 antedating that time are torn out and lost, The records ; show that the lodge was working, and the clear presumption ; U that it antedated that.. time.

It ' held its firt meeting, (probably by dispensation) on April S9,;i766, arid was chartered by the Grand , Lodge of Virginia on December 23d of that year(1776); ; It is :. quite evident: to ; the r mind of the ""writer that . Johnson Caswell Lodge No. 10. is entitled to a very much .earlier' date" than' its : number would indicate. . ; ' . . '; SHOULD HAVE EARLIER NUMBER , ' This . same historian saysl. 'that Roy Heart Lodge No. , 2, in the town of Halifax, was working, under, dis pensation of November , 1, 1764, but was not 1 chartered until'1 August 21, 1767, and then By virtue of , a letter of authority obtained from 'Cornelius Harnett, grand master of the lodge in Wilmington ." -: Blandford Bute had been chartered by the Grand Lodge of Virginia eight months previously.. w It Js.tclear",to our mind' that we had authority from a ' Grand .,; Lodge eight months before our ? sis ter at Halifax and that we should be No. 2, making this statement withoutS prejudice to a later claim to No. 1: . r i - v' I . In the early histoiy. of "Masonry-in America there 'was a lodge near Petersburg; called Blandford.
