Lenapehoking Lodge 9 has a long history despite its recent beginnings.  I have created what I call a lodge genealogy to show all of the lodges which have merged or been absorbed over the years to form the current lodge.

* Pamrapaugh Lodge was actually known to have existed earlier.  Pamrapaugh Lodge is known to have been represented at the Grand Lodge organizational meeting held on October 7, 1921. There is some confusion as to the original date of Pamrapaugh's charter because as of that meeting there were only 10 chartered lodges in operation. Yet in 1926, Pamrapaugh was assigned a lodge number of 14. Records reviewed by Bill Topkis indicated that it was formed in 1921 and was the ninth lodge. A clerical error seemed to occur and the number was switched with the lodge in Perth Amboy (Cowaw) which was not one of the original 10 lodges and formed in 1922.  Ironically, Pamrapaugh's successor, Lenapehoking Lodge, was able to acquire the number 9 after it's recent merger.
