CONCORD LODGE No. 346 was located in the Town of Concord, County of Erie. The background of their beginning is not complete but rather interesting. On December 27, 1821, the Brethren of the Town of Concord sent a request to Blazing Star Lodge No. 294 for a recommendation to form a new Lodge. This request was carried on foot by Brother Comfort Knapp, from Concord to Aurora. Their petition was presented in Grand Lodge on June 7, 1822, and was granted their Charter on June 8, 1822. Brother Comfort Knapp was installed as their first Worshipful Master; Brother Ira Hall, Senior Warden; and Brother Archibald Griffiths, Junior Warden.
