Thomas Dunckerley
Thomas Dunckerley (23 October 1724 – 19 November 1795) was a prominent freemason, being appointed Provincial Grand Master of several provinces, promoting Royal Arch masonry, introducing Mark Masonry to England, and instituting a national body for Templar masonry. This was made possible by an annuity of £100, rising to £800, which he obtained from King George III by claiming to be his illegitimate half brother.〔(''Thomas Dunckerley, his life, labours, and letters'' by Henry Sadler, London, 1891 )〕
==Early career==
In 1735, Dunckerley was articled to William Simpson, a barber and peruke maker of St Martin-in-the-Fields, Westminster, but ran away after just two years to join the navy.〔Susan Mitchell Sommers, ''Thomas Dunckerley and English Freemasonry'', London: Pickering & Chatto, 2012, pp. 39-40.〕 He is recorded from 14 April to 4 August 1742 as an able seaman on the muster book of HMS ''Namur''.〔Ron Chudley, ''Thomas Dunckerley: A Remarkable Freemason'', London, Lewis Masonic, 1982, p. 64 〕 On 6 January 1745, the minutes of Trinity House at Deptford record that 'Mr Thomas Dunckerley being Examin'd & found Qualify'd to be a School Master in her Majesty's Navy & having produc'd a certificate (as usual) of his Sobriety & good Affection to his Majesty, he was certify'd accordingly'.〔Susan Mitchell Sommers, ''Thomas Dunckerley and English Freemasonry'', London: Pickering & Chatto, 2012, p. 43〕 He is first mentioned in Admiralty records on 19 February 1744, when not quite twenty years of age, he was appointed schoolmaster on a seventy gun ship called the ''Edinburgh''. In 1746 he was appointed Gunner on a sloop, a term equivalent to ''Chief Gunnery Officer''. He proceeded to posts as Gunner on larger ships, including the 90 gun ''Prince''. From 1757 to 1761 he served on the ''Vanguard'' as both Gunner and Schoolmaster. On this ship, he saw service at the Siege of Quebec. After service on the ''Prince'', he was superannuated in 1764.〔
