A history of the formation of each of these Grand Commanderies is given. The Grand Commanderies are taken up in alphabetical order and represents the combination of 16 .pdf documents, generally pages 28 and 29 from the 1986 (September) through 1988 (January). In each instance the subordinate Commanderies entering into the formation of the Grand Body are given with the date of their Dispensation and Charter. These dates are as accurate as a careful search of the Proceedings of the Grand Encampment can make them. The dates of the granting of the Charter is the date on which the Grand Encampment took action on the application. It is entirely possible that another date may appear on the Charter as finally issued by the Grand Recorder. A list of the subordinate Commanderies organized by the Grand Encampment is provided in Appendix VI 11. The early records are often deficient in giving detailed information in regard to these subordinate Commanderies, and occasionally records have been confused.
