George Washington was a mason in name only. In 30years he only visited lodge about 4 times. Neither Jefferson or Madison were freemasons. Ben Franklin was an active freemason in philly.
did why did he take the oath of office in full masonic regalia ?
Im not sure if he did. His lack of attendance at lodge meetings suggests he didnt care for it much. He took his oath of office in lower Manhattan and walked to St Pauls Church near ground zero. The church is well preserved and a tourist attraction.
