Yes, sort of. The American Union Lodgeproposed that Washington become “General Grand Master of theUnited States”, a title to be held in the “National Grand Lodge”. However, there were many others who also disagreed with the idea, so it was never a serious proposal. Washington was Master of Alexandria Lodge No. 22 in Virginia, whose Grand Master was then Edmund Randolph. Washington was never Grand Master of Virginia (or any other jurisdiction).
