RootsWeb: Melungeon-L Re: [Melungeon] English Freemason Jews: Surnames: "The name of the article is 'Jews in English Regular Freemasonry: 1717 -
1860'; it appears in the Transactions of the Jewish Historical Society of
England, Volume XXV (25), 1977, pages 150 - 209. What is significant about it also
is that it supports Don Yates' and my theory that Jews were actively involved
in Freemasonry in England from an early date (we believe Scotland was even
earlier -- the 1100's, when Freemasonry was actually the Templars). There were
many Freemason Lodges throughout Melungeon areas; we believe that they
provided assistance to crypto-Jews entering the Colonies, prior to Jews being
'officially' welcomed. Beth"
