Notities over Moses Holbrook

The preeminent Middlesex Mason, Moses Holbrook, gained most of his fame elsewhere. He was born in Sherborn in 1783, probably Descendent from the original settlers. He was entered in Middlesex Lodge in 1804, two months after his 21st birthday, and raised February 12, 1805. He graduated with the class of 1808 from Harvard University. He became a physician, but we do not know where he received his medical education. Sometime between 1811 and 1819, he moved to Charleston, South Carolina, where he raised a large family. It was there that he became most active in Masonic affairs, serving as Master of Washington Lodge No. 7, Charleston and as Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina. He received the 33rd degree on November 18, 1822, at the age of 39, and he was Lt. Commander of the Supreme Council, 33 degrees in May 1825. He became Grand Commander in 1825. In 1830, he was elected an Honorary Member, Supreme Council, 33 degrees of the Northern Jurisdiction. In 1843, after some 25 to 30 years in South Carolina, he became a homesteader in Florida near what is now Ft. Pierce. He died there in 1844.

Dr. Moses Holbrook was, for some years, in practice in Bath, Maine and had the reputation of skill in his profession, as he was also in the art of Masonry, and was Master of Solar Lodge in the years of 1813, 1814, and 1815. Subsequently he became a resident of Charleston, S. C.
Dr. Holbrook was present at Fort Pierce on the night that it burned (December 11, 1843.) His homestead was next to Captain Burnham on the south. He had come to the area from Charleston, South Carolina. Considered a talented physician he served the community for a time as a circuit riding doctor. Described as a man of powerful build, elderly, bald and usually hatless. He played flute and brought a valuable library with him to the settlement. He died after two years and was buried in an unmarked grave on the bluff.
