“Howell Tatum, Master of Harmony Lodge No 1, in 1805, was born in North Carolina, the exact place and date being unknown. He was an Ensign in the First North Carolina Regiment, Continental Line, in 1775, and was a member of Royal White Hart Lodge No. 2, at Halifax. He came to Tennessee prior to 1794, probably as early as 1788; served as Treasurer of Mero District 1794-1796; was Attorney General for Metro District 1796-1797; and Judge of the Superior Court from May 1797 to September 1798. His name appears in the returns of the Royal White Lodge from 1797-1798-1799, therefore he probably did not affiliate with Harmony Lodge until 1800 or possibly later.”
