The lyric was originally a poem called Defence of Fort McHenry written by Francis Scott Key in 1814. He wrote it after witnessing a British attack on Fort McHenry during the war of 1812.The melody was originally a song called To Anacreon in Heaven written in 1778 by John Stafford Smith for a London drinking club.The lyric and melody were put together by Francis Scott Key's brother-in-law Judge Joseph H Nicholson, who first published the lyric as a broadsheet. The current title was applied by Thomas Carr (owner of a Baltimore music shop), who was the first to publish the song with sheet music.
The "Star Spangled Banner" was originally a poem by Francis Scott Key titled "In Defence of Fort McHenry." Later, a popular London tavern song, "To Anacreon in Heaven" was added. Thus we have "The Star Spangled Banner."
There is no evidence that Francis Scott Key was a Freemason. Had he been, it is most likely he would have been a member of a lodge in Maryland, but the Grand Lodge of Maryland does not claim him as one of their own. Grand Lodges don't hide the membership of famous men like this, instead, they tend to brag about their membership. Additionally, there is no listing for him in the comprehensive book titled "10,000 Famous Freemasons," as there almost certainly would have been if there was even a strong rumor of his membership.
He was inspired by the defeat of the British attack on Baltimore, Maryland.
This is when the the bombardment of Fort McHenry took place, but little damage was done to either Fort McHenry or the British fleet. It is during this time that Francis Scott Key, while on board the HMS Tonnant wrote the Star-Spangled Banner ( The National Anthem of the United States) to the melody of an old British drinking song.
