Notes

Said to be chartered in 12/12/1856, I think this is a dupe, and changing the date to drop them from the top of the list. Somehow confused with Bowlesville No. 34 and Suffolk No. 30. Confirmed chartered as "Solomon Lodge, No. 34" on 12/12/1866 (not 1856, leaving the previous note intact). Assigned to District 1 in 1866. Editor: This established a new Lodge, Solomon No. 30 (later 34), including members of the existing Suffolk No. 30. 1865 Proceedings: Whereas, an imperfect application was made in July last, by sundry brethren in Suffolk, Nansemond Co., asking for a Dispensation to hold a Lodge, their charter as Suffolk Lodge, No. 30, having been destroyed during the war, and renewed application being now made through M. W. John R. Purdie: Be it Resolved, That their charter be renewed under the name and title of Solomon Lodge, No. 30, and that P. D. Prentis be appointed Master, F. B. Holliday, Senior Warden, and Wm. B. Wellons, Junior Warden. 1866 Proceedings: Your committee have maturely considered the case of Suffolk Lodge, No. 30, and Solomon Lodge, No. 30, and have come to the conclusion that the ends of justice and the restoration of harmony and of fraternal relations between the brethren of those respective Lodges, are more likely to be attained by a spirit of conciliation and of mutual concession, without attempting to enter into a discussion of the matters of difference between said Lodges, beg leave to recommend the adoption of the following resolutions: 1. Resolved, That Suffolk Lodge, No. 30, of which Wor. Bro. H. R. Culley is Master, be recognized and continued under its present revised Charter as Suffolk Lodge, No. 30, with its present officers and membership, not including those who claim to be members of Solomon Lodge, heretofore known as No. 30. 2. Resolved, That the Lodge heretofore known and designated as Solomon Lodge, of which Wor. Bro. Peter B. Prentis is Master, with its present officers and members, be hereafter designated as Solomon Lodge, No. ---, and that a new Charter do issue to them in conformity therewith, with no additional charge, save the engrossing fee to the Grand Secretary for issuing the same. 3. Resolved, That Suffolk Lodge, No. 30, do retain as members those brethren who now recognize it as their Lodge; and that Solomon Lodge, No. 34, retain as members those brethren who now recognize it as their Lodge; and that the members of each be discharged from the payment of any dues to the other Lodge accruing since the 1st day of January, 1862. 1873 Proceedings: Whereas, Solomon Lodge, No. 34, located in the county of Nansemond, having returned its Charter to this Grand Lodge, together with its records, inventory of furniture, &c., therefore, be it Resolved, That the return of said Charter, &c., be approved by this Grand Lodge, and that said Lodge be declared extinct.
