Re: Freemasonry in Nauvoo
I wrote this article a while back on the history of the Lodges in Nauvoo, their respective suspensions, and their later respective statuses as clandestine Lodges.
But I did not focus all that much on Bennett or on Joseph Smith.

Re: Freemasonry in Nauvoo
Bennett was initially proposed as secretary of Nauvoo Lodge. After his ouster, he spilled the beans on some of the irregularities of Nauvoo Lodge. I initially was prejudiced against him, but after research, it turned out that he was giving accurate reports.

Re: Freemasonry in Nauvoo
Bennett was probably upset and jealous that he didn't come up with the idea first of what Joseph was doing.
