         Charter Members of the Jeffersonian Lodge

He wrote that the Jeffersonian Lodge No. 138 was chartered on 
2/12/1856. It surrendered its charter on 2/17/1860. It was rechartered 
as Jeffersonian Lodge No. 181 in 1868. It surrendered its charter again 
on 4/13/1880. I believe it was located at the Jefferson Steam Mill. I'm not 
sure where that was, but it had to have been in the Keachi/Frierson area.
