I wasn't sure. I do know one thing though, this is a great thread. Not too many times I come to work and actually learn something.

I am not aware of any that were. I have read stories of some that were suspected of being a Mason. Of course, I could be wrong too and that would not surprise me at all.
Hints:
1) Chalks are limestones (compounds used for a specific reason),
2) Clays are used for vessals (and a specific vessal that is symbolized by the Masonic apron at ease),
3) Charcoal is heated to do something but when it is heated, it creates a specific acid.

Though I can't speak in detail (as I have no in depth knowledge of the subject), would it be an Alchemical reference?

Jachin as a name means he who strengthens and makes steadfast
Yes, for the Masonic Apron, and it is a direct reference to what is needed to apply the Charcoal and the Chalk.

I remember now seeing somewhere about the rumors of Pope Pius IX and Pope Benedict XIV. The article dealt with some of the reasons that it was suspected they were and also why they may not have been. It was a good read on the history of the Catholic Church and Freemasonry.

Joseph Brant was a Mohawk Chief, British Loyalist and Freemason in the late 1700's. A painting of him hangs in a Masonic Lodge in Hudson, New York...Read More Here...

No answer for 3 days... I will go ahead and answer this one and put up another.
The Baltimore Convention was a masonic congress which met in the city of Baltimore, May 8th, 1843. It consisted of delegates from thirteen states and the District of Columbia, for the purpose of establishing a uniformity in the work. It continued in session for nine days in an effort to perfect the ritual, and form a national Grand Lodge to meet every three years. Too much bitterness entered into the controversy, however, and it is doubtful that a national Grand Lodge will ever be established.
Next question:
Who were the Athol Masons? (149:1)

If I am not mistaken that was another name given to the Antients due to the fact that their Grand Masters were the Dukes of Atholl. I recall some of that from my genealogy research into the Stewart Clan side of my family.

Bingo... Brent, you are pretty knowledgable!
The Masons who, in 1752, seceded from the Grand Lodge of England and established themselves under the name of Ancient Masons. In 1776 they elected the Duke of Athol their Grand Master, an office which he held until the union of the two Grand Lodges took place in 1813.
