BIOGRAPHICAL
MARQUIS DE LA FAYETTE
M ARIE JEAN PAUL ROCH YVES GILBERT MOTIER, MARQUIS DE LA FAYETTE, was born in Auvergne, France, September 6, 1757. Left an orphan with a princely fortune at the age of thirteen, he married, at the age of sixteen, a daughter of the Duc de Ayen, one of the most influential families in France.
In the choice of a career, a young man of his rank was limited to the court or the camp, so he chose the career of his father and entered the Guards.
La Fayette was but nineteen years of age and a Captain of Dragoons when the American colonies proclaimed their inde- pendence. Despite the protest of his friends, he immediately resolved to take a hand in the conflict, and finding his purpose unchangeable, the American agent in Paris concluded an ar- rangement, December 7, 1776, by which he was to enter the American service with the rank of Major-General.
About this time the news reached France of the grave dis- asters befalling the American troops, and the King forbade him to leave. La Fayette proceeded to purchase a ship at his own expense, and invited such friends as were willing to share his fortunes. The ship was seized and La Fayette was placed under arrest, but escaped in disguise, and after a tedious and dangerous voyage of two months, landed in Georgetown, South Carolina, with eleven of his chosen companions. He then made his way to Philadelphia and presented himself to the Continental Con- gress, with papers of authority from the agent in Paris, demand- ing a commission of the highest rank at that time, beneath that of Commander-in-chief.
In making such liberal demands, it is not surprising that his reception by Congress was not the most cordial; but, after the situation was explained to him, he wrote to the President of Congress, expressing a desire to serve in the American Army upon two conditions-that he should receive no pay, and that he should act as a volunteer. These terms were so different
197
198
History of La Fayette Lodge
from those asked by other foreigners, and promised such sub- stantial, indirect advantages on account of his family prestige, that Congress passed a resolution on July 31, 1777, accepting his services and commissioning him a Major-General in the Army of the United States. This commission was intended to be merely honorary, but, upon a recommendation from Washington to Congress, he was placed in charge of a division of troops, serving under General Washington. Of La Fayette's military career in the United States there is not much to be said; but, owing to his unselfish attachment to the cause, the many unnecessary priva- tions he endured, and his unwavering championship of the American cause with the court of France, he is regarded as one of the heroes of the Revolution.
At the close of the war, he returned to France and, through the flattering testimonials of General Washington and the American Government, received the same military rank he had held with this Government.
La Fayette played an important part in the French Revo- lution, being one of the few aristocrats who was able to maintain his influence throughout the entire struggle. On July 11, 1789, he presented to the National Assembly a declaration of rights, modeled after our own Declaration of Independence. When a National Guard was organized, which soon embraced the entire kingdom and numbered over three million men, La Fayette was placed in command of it. During the three years that fol- lowed this, his life was beset with every conceivable responsi- bility and peril. He rescued the Queen from the murderous hands of the populace in 1789, not to mention hundreds of humbler victims who had been condemned to death. Disgusted with the enormities which he was powerless to prevent, he resigned his commission; but so impossible was it to replace him that he was finally induced to resume it. In the Constituent Assembly, of which he was a member, his influence was ever in favor of Republican principles, for the abolition of arbitrary imprisonment, for the establishment of trial by jury, for religious tolerance, for popular representation, for the gradual emancipa- tion of slaves, for the abolition of titles of nobility, and the sup- pression of privileged orders. At the close of the Revolution he
199
Biographical
was induced by his friends to run for the office of Mayor of Paris, but was defeated. On account of his attacks upon the Jacobins, he was compelled to take refuge in the territory of Liege, where he was captured by the Austrians and held as a prisoner of state for five years. He was released by Napoleon, September 19, 1797, and returned to France. For many years following this he lived in retirement, but was appointed, by Louis XVIII, as Vice-president of the Assembly, preceding the battle of Waterloo. He then became a speaker on the subject of foreign politics and political economy. During the Revolution of 1834 he was again placed at the head of the National Guard, where he achieved success.
La Fayette twice visited America following the Revolutionary War, first in 1784, when he was the guest of the Government for five months, and again in 1824, forty years later, when he was overwhelmed with popular applause. On this visit Congress voted him $200,000 and a township of land.
He died in Paris, May 20, 1834.
The date of La Fayette's entrance into Freemasonry has been a question of much debate. Some authorities contend that he received the degrees in France, before coming to America. Robert Freke Gould, in his history of military Lodges, makes the following statement:
In December, 1777, the army retired to Valley Forge, and it was there-according to evidence which seems to be of trust- worthy character-that General La Fayette was initiated. The French officer, though he had been received very warmly and kindly by General Washington, experienced much uneasiness from the circumstance that he had never been intrusted with a separate command. During the winter he learned that there was a Lodge working in the camp. Time hanging heavily on his hands, and the routine of duty being monotonous, he conceived the idea that he would like to be made a Mason. His wish, on being made known to the Lodge, was soon gratified, the Com- mander-in-chief being present and in the chair at the time of the initiation.
"After I was made a Mason," said La Fayette, "General Washington seemed to have received a new light. I never had from that moment any cause to doubt his entire confidence. It
200
History of La Fayette Lodge
was not long before I had a separate command of great im- portance."
According to reference, "Masons as Makers of America," by Madison C. Peters, published by The Patriotic League, Brooklyn, New York, "La Fayette was made a Mason by Wash- ington himself at the Old Freeman's Tavern, on the Green, at Morristown, New Jersey, in what was then Military Lodge, No. 19, now Montgomery Lodge of Philadelphia. And when, in after years, La Fayette returned to our land, the best token he could find of his grateful recollection to convey to his comrade-in- arms was the Mason's scarf and Mason's apron."
Probably no man ever owed more for his success in life to wealth and family prestige than did La Fayette, nor abused them less. He was born an aristocrat, but was a friend of the common people by choice. That he was esteemed by the American people of his day, second only to Washington, is attested by the number of towns, counties, postoffices, and Masonic Lodges which bear his name. There are six La Fayette and eleven Fayette counties. In the list of towns and postoffices there are: nineteen La Fayette, thirteen Fayette, twelve Fayettevilles, one Fayette City, one La Fayette Hill, one La Fayette Springs, be- sides La Fayette Station at St. Louis, Missouri.
Forty-two Lodges in the United States have been named for this illustrious Frenchman. Arranged alphabetically by States, they are:
