Amelung and the Early Masonic Lodge in Maryland
John Frederick Amelung, a Maryland glassmaker, aided the Fleecy Dale Masonic Lodge near New Bremen while engaging with Washington on Freemasonry and tariffs. The First Congress debated aiding Amelung after a 1790 fire, with figures like Carroll, Sherman, Boudinot, Ames, Sedgwick, and Gerry weighing a loan and duties before ultimately increasing the glass duty to 120 percent without direct aid.
