Talk:Prince Hall

message: I don't think the Prince Hall Freemasonry article should be merged into this one, but I think that some of the PHF info should be moved out of this one. Anyone have more info about Prince Hall himself so this doesn't look stubby?--SarekOfVulcan 20:24, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge discussion 

message: can't do it myself now (or soon), but lets get some sections in here? With that, there'll be some movement of material, sooner than later resulting in rewriting... I'll come back to this, but anyone else interested, "git 'er done"...;-) Grye 09:34, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  run-on article 

message: :"Carefully studying the records, the Grand Lodge of England concluded that the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts was indeed entitled to Masonic recognition, and this against the tradition that, per state, only one recognised Masonic body should exist."
Do we know what year or even what decade this occured in? That is when did the Grand Lodge of England so conclude? -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 22:37, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Over the years, the statement in the article has been modified. There are years now for history of his interactions with the Masonic body. There's nothing about there having been a tradition to only have one lodge per state.--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:14, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

message: I found reference to Hall working as a ship's steward in Greene's The Negro in Colonial New England.  Greene cites as his reference Johnston's Slavery in Rhode Island.  Now I need to check that reference to see if Hall sailed as a slave or freedman or Free Negro. LTC David J. Cormier (talk) 17:41, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Was he a slave? 

message: Those who have been watching this article should have noticed a remarkable improvement lately in its quality and quantity of information. In fact, I think that it is close to achieving high marks if only we can fine-tune it a bit more.Historian (talk) 20:27, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  A remarkable improvement 

message: I have semi-protected the article. While it's entirely possible that Prince Hall was not born in Barbados, the source that's being directly quoted does say that he was born there. If you're going to dispute the source, don't change the statement so that it looks like the source is saying something other than what it actually said.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:18, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Prince Hall birthplace 

message: The following information seems to add to more confusion than illumination:
:Gray wrote that if we want to know where Prince Hall was from, then all we need to do is take note of the only time he references 'home' in his letters.The only time Prince Hall refers to a ‘home’ is in a 1789 letter to the Countess of Huntington concerning the preaching of Rev. John Marrant (1755-1791), and tells her that he (Marrant) is a Black minister “from home.” Ordained in 1785, Marrant, one of the first Black preachers and missionaries in North American (first in Nova Scotia), was born in New York City in 1755, and after his father’s death he moved with his mother to Florida, Georgia, and Charleston, South Carolina.
For instance, when Hall mentions "home" is he meaning his current home, a residence at a point in time, or his birthplace? For a time, Marrant lived with Hall - so "home" might mean Boston. Or, if he means his birthplace, it could mean Marrant's birthplace, New York City. Or, perhaps Nova Scotia. Does anyone have the In Prince Hall book and have more information about what Gray was getting at... or concluding?--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:31, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
