I have an 1812 source that lists his birthday as March 12th, not 13th. — 0918BRIAN • 2006-03-26 19:22

[edit] Grand Lodge

In the early decades of the premier Grand Lodge it is incorrect to refer to it as "the Grand Lodge of England." It was not so called during these early years, and it was not the intention of its founders that it be a "territorial" grand lodge with jurisdiction over all England or limited to England only. Rather, it was founded to govern its own constituent lodges in London and Westminster. Many years later it adopted the notion that its jurisdiction was "English" as opposed to Scottish or French. For accuracies sake, diligent historians simply refer to it as "the London Grand Lodge," "the Premier Grand Lodge," "the Grand Lodge of 1717," or simply "Grand Lodge," as there was only one.
