: : Thanks for your posts and references. Very interesting!

: : Two things that you mentioned, Victoria, that interest me. Your mention of your gggg-grandaddy Anderson as a mason & your observation that this *brotherhood* may very well have played a part in Brant's decision to spare his life .... The Freemason Society was one of the 'orders' that Brant embraced. I think it often played a far greater role in historic events or personal decisions than is acknowledged. It is a connection often overlooked.

: Siyo Elaine,

: You will find many examples in the War Between The States of Freemasonary having an affect on such things as care of wounded, successful escape attempts, etc.
: There really should be a book written on the subject. Maybe I'll ask my compatriots in the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a number of them are Freemasons, and may know of a book on the subject.
: You bring up a very good & much over looked point.
: I believe that on more than one occassion Brant saved a life due to Freemason connection.
