It seems to me that I read that George Washington’s daughter did not approve of his portrait with a Masonic apron, which was done after his death. She said he attended a couple of times but never joined and would not want to be portrayed as a Mason.

What exactly did she ‘attend’?

The story is lame.

No woman can ever be made a Mason, for a variety of good reasons. I am pretty sure she would have known that.

She could never have attended lodge either

“She said he attended a couple of times but never joined and would not want to be portrayed as a Mason.”

He was not only a Mason, he served as master (president) of his lodge. It’s still active today and they have his portrait on the wall along with everyone else who has served as master.
