George Washington turned down the title of Grand Master of the United States -- true?
Yes, sort of. The American Union Lodge proposed that Washington become
"General Grand Master of the United States", a title to be held in the
"National Grand Lodge". However, there were many others who also
disagreed with the idea, so it was never a serious proposal.
Washington was Master of Alexandria Lodge No. 22 in Virginia, whose
Grand Master was then Edmund Randolph. Washington was never Grand
Master of Virginia (or any other jurisdiction).
