Jefferson (3rd President) was the last person to examine the contents of this vault. It was
believed that the contents were removed and placed in a secret location either at the University of
Virginia (founded by Jefferson), or the capitol building in Washington, D.C. However, Manley
Hall became a leading proponent for the Bruton Vault as being the location of this sacred
repository. His quest to protect it from falling into the wrong hands cost him his life, because he
was strangled to death by two members of the Skull and Bones Society– Morgan Brandt and
Daniel Fritz. Luckily all of his research notes, documents, maps, books, photos, and artifacts
relating to 50 years of work on the vault had already been sent to a secret location in Russia.
In The Secret Destiny of America Hall wrote: “America’s true destiny will remain a secret as
long as great masses of people have no knowledge whatsoever that enlightened humanitarians
through thousands of years have in their own and succeeding generations remained united on the
high purpose of eventually instituting democratic rule throughout the world. It is necessary to
know, too, that it was anciently planned that leadership would fall to America– to a nation
established on the Northern continent of the Western Hemisphere ... Long before Columbus, they
were aware of the existence of the Western hemisphere, and selected it to be the site of the
philosophic empire. The American continent was set apart for establishing here a great
democratic nation, centuries before the founding fathers and colonists envisioned the Union...”
When President Theodore Roosevelt visited the site, and learned of its significance, he
vowed to protect it, and out of appreciation, he was honored by having his image placed on
Mount Rushmore. David Rockefeller and Queen Elizabeth have shown a particular interest in the
vault’s contents.
The contents of the Bruton Vault are priceless, and considered so important that it is referred
to as the ‘Seventh Seal.’
A group known as Sir Francis Bacon’s Sages of the Seventh Seal have been the driving force
behind the movement to uncover the vault. Though there were unsuccessful attempts in 1938
(which did discover the original church foundations) and 1992, they now believe that a spiral
staircase exists beneath the pyramid-shaped monument that marks the centuries-old graves of
David and Elizabeth Bray, and leads to the vault, which they refer to as a “Freemasonry library.”
Armed with new evidence from their continued research, the group has lobbied the Rev. Herman
Hollerith IV, rector of the Episcopal Church, to authorize a new, controlled, archeological dig, to
raise the vault, so that its contents can be studied, and protected from forces hostile to the
information it contains.
The Growth of the Masonic Movement
Inigo Jones (1573-1652) reorganized the Lodges, introducing the Descartes rationalism, and
they were now known as the Free and Accepted Masons. Elias Ashmole, a banker, Rosicrucian,
and founder of the Oxford Museum, who became a Mason in 1648, established the three basic
degrees:
1) Entered Apprentice
2) Fellow-Craft
3) Master Mason
On June 24, 1717, the four lodges in London were united into a Grand Lodge (sometimes
