Antrim / Worlds Oldest Mason
« on: Monday 01 February 10 22:37 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I am doing research on our family, and apparently my Great Great Grandfather was reputed to be the worlds oldest mason.
His name is Charles McCue .
"Charles McCue, born on 14th June 1756 in Northern Ireland became a Mason at the age of 18. He migrated to Canada in 1837 and affiliated to St Johns Lodge No: 68, Ingersoll, Ontario. When he died on 5th May 1870, he had been a Mason for almost 95 years!"
Charles was just shy of his 114th birthday when he passed away.
I have heard he was from Maghermask Ireland, can anyone help me locate where this is and how to find more info of his family in Ireland.
Cheers,
Rob McCue
