- Notes
- Confirmed chartered on 12/12/1848. Assigned to District 12 in 1850. Assigned to District 21 in 1874. Whereas a dispensation was issued to authorize the opening of a Lodge at Flint Hill, Rappahannock County, by the name of Blue Ridge Lodge, No. 7, and appointing Wor. W. W. Deatherage, Master, Robert H. Scay, Senior Warden, and Joseph M. Rickett, Junior Warden; and said dispensation being returned, together with the necessary documents, Resolved, That a charter do issue for the permanent establishment of said Lodge, by the name, title and designation aforesaid, appointing the officers named in the dispensation, upon the payment of the usual fees. 1867 Proceedings: Blue Ridge Lodge is listed as No. 74 for the first time. No indication in the records as why they changed. Botetourt Lodge No. 7 went extinct in 1848, but was revived in 1857. So Blue Ridge received the low number, there were two No. 7 Lodges, and then in 1867 they became No. 74, although the District listing kept them as No. 7 in District 12.
