The Pennsylvania Gazette for June 28, 1733, recites that a Grand Lodge was held at the Tun Tavern in Philadelphia this day at which Humphrey Murray (Morrey), Esq., was elected Grand Master, and an en- tertainment was provided attended by distinguished guests.
Humphrey Morrey (Murray).
Humphrey Morrey was a grandson of the first Mayor of Philadelphia. The Morrey family were wealthy Quakers who moved to Philadelphia from New York in 1685. Humphrey, however, renounced Quakerism and was baptized (when an adult) in the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. He was a merchant and diss tiller. He died between the 6th and 13th day of Au- gust, 1735, unmarried and without issue. From his will dated November 7, 1732, it appears that he, William Allen, John Crapp (who served as Franklin’s Deputy Grand Master) and Joseph Shippen were cousins.
