On January 14, 1771, Joseph Montfort of Halifax received a deputation naming him "Provincial Grand Master of and for America." 🕯️

The grand title grew bigger in memory than on paper. Minutes of the Grand Lodge of England dated February 6, 1771, record him as "Provincial G. M. for North Carolina." Sources also disagree on who exactly appointed him.

His Royal White Hart Lodge in Halifax had a warrant from Cornelius Harnett dated November 1, 1764, and its first meeting came in April 1765. Montfort secured a new charter in 1768, reissued on March 10, 1772. He was elected to the April 1775 Provincial Congress but was too ill to attend, and he died on March 25, 1776. 🏛️

He is buried in front of the lodge, and a bronze tablet marks the grave.

Why do you think titles tend to grow with every retelling?
