The Lodge record have been lost for the Seventh President of the United States, Andrew Jackson and have not been located. It appears as though he was a Member of St. Tammany Lodge No. 1, Nashville, Tennessee, as early as 1800. Tammany Lodge No. 1, was the first Lodge in Tennessee, organized in 1789, under a Dispensation from the Grand Lodge of North Carolina. The name of the lodge was later changed to Harmony Lodge No. 1 on November 1, 1800. Brother Jackson is officially listed as a Member in the Lodge Return to the Grand Lodge of North Carolina and Tennessee for 1805. On December 27, 1813, the Grand Lodge of Tennessee was granted its own Constitution. Brother Jackson was the sixth Grand Master of Masons of Tennessee, serving from October 7, 1822 until October 4, 1824.
