NOTES
The original charter was surrendered on 12/12/1821 (III-368); it was restored following a dispensation in December 1865, but the lodge's date of precedence is 1866, not 1797.
See historical notes 1895-82ff, 1940-84ff. (Note: 1895-82 appears to be an error in the card file; there is no mention of this lodge there.)
