It's a puzzle that Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885), eighteenth President of the United States, never became a Mason. His father, Jesse R. Grant, was a member of Bethel Lodge 61, Bethel, Ohio. His father-in-law, Lewis Dent, was a member of Amith Lodge 5, Zanesville, Ohio. Further, perhaps in anticipation of a Masonic future, his parents gave him a very Masonic name. His real name was Hiram Ulysses Grant.
