Yeah, I posted a question on Freemasonry this week - you have to root around a bit but biographies do occasionally say that x or y was a mason but don't go further! I wondered how Robespierre could afford to campaign in Artois, but it might explain it if he had financial assistance from his lodge - his grandfather or great grandfather was a founding freemason in the region, according to Ruth Scurr's book.
