Alabama was mentioned in the Chronology:
1827, April 21 – There were Scottish Rite Bodies at Claiborne, as early as this date.
Alabama was mentioned for the first time in the Transactions:
…Ill. Bros. Batchelor and Todd have planted the Rite in Mobile, under the best auspices. TS:1868:7.
In this State, no attempt was made to propagate the Ancient and Accepted Rite, until in December 1867, Ill. Bro. Batchelor established in Mobile the several Bodies of the Degrees up to the Kadosh. I have no Report from Ill. Bro. Knott, Deputy for the State, of the establishment of Bodies or of any initiations, nor I have any communications from him for quite a year and half. I hoped to hear long ago, of the establishment of the Rite at Montgomery, the capital of the State; and it ought not to be difficult, among the great number of intelligent Masons in Alabama, to find many worthy of initiation into the higher mysteries.
