Grand Masters of the United Grand Lodge of England [UGLE] and of Scotland ref: Preston’s Illustrations of Masonry - History of Masonry in England during the Reign of King George II
* also data from Laurence Gardner – The Shadow of Solomon, pg. 88 – 92. Other data as noted.
The below data has been complied for reference owing to the frequent usage of ‘royal’ Titles for personages in the ranks of the United Grand Lodge of England [UGLE]. While many famous and notable royals have served the Grand Lodge, the Titles somehow hide the actual names of the persons serving with such distinction. Hence I have dug through my genealogical archives and such other sources as noted below, to give a summary of these founders and pillars of the Craft.
I have additional papers on the interesting genealogical connections, of many of the below Brothers
and also Masonic connections to the Royal Society of London of some of these and other early Brothers,
for those who may be interested such matters.
Additionally, there are other charts available for the genealogical connections of many of the
founding members of the Knights Templar and the Kings of Jerusalem, specially the ‘Baldwins’ and their lines.
This is a work ‘in progress.’ If you have information you would like to share, add, or correct, please contact the present compiler at
