The institution was drafted by General Knox, and declared that the officers of the American Army "associated themselves into one society of friends to endure as long as they shall endure or any of their eldest male posterity; and in failure thereof the collateral branches who may be judged worthy of becoming its supporters." Washington was elected president-general in 1783. Robert Burnett, of New-York, who died in 1854, was the last survivor of the original members.

His name was adopted by several secret charitable societies organized in different cities of the Union soon after the Revolution as an offset to the aristocratic Society of the Cincinnati. The New-York society was established on May 12, 1789, and incorporated in 1805, but soon became a political instrument in the hands of the Democratic managers. William Mooney, its principal founder, was the first Grand Sachem. Its date of meeting is the first Monday in each month, and its motto, "Freedom Our Rock."
