Freemasonry In Jamaica.

FREEMASONRY IN JAMAICA .

BY H . J . BURGER .

EXTRACTED FROM THE HANDBOOK OP JAMAICA FOR 1881 . "VTO documentary evidence has yet been found to shew that Free--Ll masonry existed in Jamaica , in a regularly organized condition , before tbe 14 th April 1739 , when Mother Lodge of Kingston was warranted as No . 182 by the original Grand Lodge of England . Tbe Island of Antigua appears to have had the precedence of Jamaica by

two years , but no other Colony in tbe West Indies can claim priority of introduction , whilst Jamaica received the light before Switzerland , Frankfort , Denmark , Rotterdam and Amsterdam . In 1742 tbe second Lodge was organised at Port Royal as No . 193 ; on the 29 tb April 1746 , the third as No . 208 in Spanish Town ; on the

17 th February 1757 , the fourth as No . 219 in St . Mary ' s in October 1771 ; the fifth as No . 418 in Kingston ; and nine other Lodges from that date to 1775 . The Athol or " Ancient Masons , " as they called themselves , determined , however , that Jamaica shonld not exclusively belong to the

original Grand Lodge , whereupon they granted a warrant of constitution on the 1 st October 1763 , to a Lodgo held at Old Harbour as No . 121 ; another on the 22 nd October 1772 , to a Lodge at Green Island as No . 177—places where no Lodge has yet been established by the original Grand Lodge .

In 1775 the original Grand Lodge issued a warrant for a Lodge to be held at Green Island as No . 483 ; on this the Athol Masons seem to have considered their jurisdiction had been invaded , and that they were therefore at liberty to constitute Lodges where others already existed under the original Grand Lodge , for we find that on the 7 th

February 1786 , a Lodge was warranted by them for Kingston as No . 233 ; -mother in 1789 as No . 257 ; a Military Lodge at Port Royal in the following year as No . 262 ; another Lod « e at Port Royal on the 12 th A n trust 1793 , as No . 281 ; and on the 10 th May 1794 , the Royal Lodge ( still extant ) as No . 283 , whioh Lodge was recommended by Nos . 257 , 262 , and 281 .
