On December 19th, 1849, Most Worshipful Grand Master John P. Lewis on his return home from Tuckerton Lodge No. 4, stopped at Toms River and met Seven Brothers, highly respectable and recommended by the nearest Lodge, and desiring to open a Lodge in the village made a request that a dispensation be granted to them. It being so near the Annual Convention,

he declined granting it, but advised them to petition  the Grand Lodge for a Warrant which he had no doubt would be granted, on due application being made.
At the Grand Lodge session, January 9th, 1850, six lodges were represented.  Among the visitors was James Gulick of Toms River. The Committee on Petitions made the following report.  We the committee on Petitions for a new and for reviving old Lodges , have examined the vouchers of the following Lodges correct and recommend Warrants be granted Olive Branch at Freehold, Hiram at Jersey City, and Harmony at Toms River and that the old Warrants for Mount Holly and Camden be revived.
