"We also find the name among the worthies of the Old King’s Arms Lodge, No. 28, London, England, the name of that somewhat elusive character, Anthony Sayer, the first Grand Master of England, about whom less definite information is known than any of his successors in that high office."

Nothing is known of his life other than he was often in straightened circumstances, petitioning Grand Lodge for charity on 21 November, 1724, 21 April, 1730 and 17 April, 1741 and receiving support from the Old King’s Arms Lodge on 2 February, 1736 and 3 March, 1740. His death is recorded in the minutes of the Old King’s Arms Lodge as occurring in the month prior to January 6, 1742.
