Excerpt from Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Ohio: At Its Several Grand Communications, From 1808 to 1847, Inclusive ON the 4th day of January, anno Lucis 5808, a preliminary meeting of Delegates from all the Lodges then in Ohio six in number - was con vened at Chillicothe, to deliberate upon the propriety of forming a grand lodge, to take Masonic cognizance of the Craft within the State; and if found expedient, to inaugurate measures for the organization of such body. The six Lodges then working in Ohio were respectively located one each in the towns of Marietta, Cincinnati, Chillicothe, Worthington, Warren, and Zanesville and had derived their charters from the various Grand Lodges of the States whence their members had emigrated to Ohio. Hence, some degree of diversity in the mode of conducting their labors, and of imparting Masonic information, was found to exist among the Brethren of these Lodges. This consideration, added to the intrinsic propriety of the measure itself, prevailed in the councils of the, Convention, and led to an unanimous acquiescence in the necessity for instituting an independent, indi genous Masonic government, adapted to their condition, and emanating from their choice.
