RafaYes, Charles Thomson was indeed a Freemason. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge of Penn's Colony in Philadelphia and served as its secretary. Thomson's involvement in Freemasonry influenced his work as a key figure in the American Revolution and as the Secretary of the Continental Congress.
Oh, dude, Charles Thomson was totally a Freemason! Like, he was the Secretary of the Continental Congress and the designer of the Great Seal of the United States, and he was totally a member of that secret society. So yeah, he was definitely in the Freemason club, doing all those secret handshakes and stuff.
The Masonic memberships of the American founding fathers, such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, have been thoroughly researched, and a number of books on the subject written. The Masons usually keep scrupulous records not only of when and where a man became a mason, but even when he visited a lodge throughout his life. It is a great point of pride for a lodge to say "Paul Revere signed our visitor's register in 1783." Since no written record of Charles Thomson's membership has appeared by now, he probably was not a mason.
