Tennessee Knights Templar Index

TENNESSEE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR REGISTER
INDEX OF NASHVILLE MEMBERS
Note: List includes all those who had connections to Nashville. Some were members of lodges
in other cities, but came to Nashville because their community did not have a Knights
Templar commandery; others may have moved in or out of the city during the period in
which they were active in Masonic activities. Further note: "Dimitted" simply means
"resigned."
An asterisk indicates that entry includes engraved portrait and signature.
