Hey Carl, glad to see another Charity Lodge member here. Massachusetts has no numbers for the following, Blue Lodges, Royal Arch Chapters and R&S Councils. We did at first going back to 1733, but in 1756 there became another GL under the charter of Scotland. So in 1756 we had a Grand Lodge under a charter of England, 1733, and one under a charter of 1756. The later was founded by Joseph Warren and Paul Revere. The first was under Henry Price. In around the 1790's both merged and because the issue of numbering came up and problems with who is first, second, third, they decided no numbers. Our Chapters and Councils followed suite. We are the only ones that are MS that have no numbers, just names, and some were plural, which made it even harder.
