Confirmed chartered 04/14/1791. Inactive 11/30/1796, reinstated later?
1791 Proceedings: A petition from Elias Langham and others, was read, praying for a Charter to hold a Lodge in the town of Columbia, and county of Fluvanna.
Resolved, That a charter do issue to Elias Langham and others to hold a Lodge in the town of Columbia, and county of Fluvanna,
by the name and designation of the Columbia Lodge, No. 31.
1796 Proceedings: Respecting the delinquent Lodges—whereas sundry resolutions have been successively adopted by the Grand Lodge, expressive of their determination to suspend the Charter of those Lodges which, in despite of all remonstrances, still refuse to commune with the Grand Lodge of Virginia, agreeably to their constitution and the regulations of the said Grand Lodge; and the Grand Lodge finding themselves at a loss for regular information with respect to all the Lodges under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge coming within this description, but on such as have come within their knowledge, they beg leave to offer the following resolution:
Resolved as the opinion of this committee, That such Lodges as do not regularly work, viz: Nos. 5, 8, 9, 12, 16, 21, 28 and 31, be by the Grand Lodge suspended from the authority of working until it is manifested by a regular representative with their arrearages, at which time the Grand Lodge pledge themselves to treat them with that lenity they may deserve, which will be in reinstating them in all their privileges.
