If I'm not mistaken all the US lodges were stricken off the rolls during the merger of the "Ancients" and "Modern"
I found this little piece here:

Most researchers agree It is probable that Prince Hall was reared somewhere
within the British Empire and migrated to America. His reference to "home" in a
letter to the Countess of Huntington and his friendship with other British
nobility would suggest he had strong roots among the English upperclass. Yet
some Masonic historians disagree. They insist that Prince Hall he was a slave as
evidenced by a manumission paper filed for a "Prince Hall" by slave owner
William Hall on April 9, 1770. This took place one month after the first shot of
the American Revolution killed Michael Johnson whom we now know as Crispus
Attucks.
Fortunately, The Masonic credentials of Prince Hall and the regularity of the
black Masonic Lodges which affiliated themselves by his name are beyond dispute.
On March 6, 1775, over a year before the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, Prince Hall and 14 other free black men were made Master Masons in
Army Lodge No. 441 by Worshipful Master John Batt working under the authority
and the Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Ireland. When the British Regiments
left Boston on March 17, 1776, a Dispensation was issued by Batt authorizing
Prince Hall and his brethren to meet as a Lodge under restrictions. Under this
permit, African Lodge No. 1 was formed July 3, 1776.
Official acknowledgement of the legitimacy of African Lodge No.1 was almost
immediately made by John Rowe of Boston, a caucasian and provincial Grand Master
for North America holding authority from the premier Grand Lodge of Freemasons,
the Grand Lodge of England. He, too, issued a permit authorizing African Lodge
No. 1 to appear publicly in procession as a Masonic body for the purpose of
celebrating the Feast of Saints John and to bury its dead.
For nine years these brethren, with other free black men who had received their
degrees in Europe, assembled together and enjoyed their limited privileges as
Masons, distressed that Prince Hall's attempts to formally associate African
Lodge with Caucasian (Provincial) Grand Lodges were frustrated by bigotry and
racism. It was an ironic period in American history when colonists embraced the
doctrine of independence, liberty, and equality to justify the revolt against
English rule while promoting and condoning the economic and social exploitation
of blacks debased by slavery.
Finally, in March, 1784, Prince Hall petitioned the Grand Lodge of England
through Worshipful Master William Moody of Brotherly Love Lodge No. 55 (London,
England) for a Warrant of Constitution. The Charter was prepared and issued on
September 29, 1784, although it would be three years before African Lodge
actually received it.
A letter was sent by Moddy to Hall on March 10, 1787, stating the Charter was
delivered to James Scott, Captain of the ship, Neptune, and brother-in-law of
John Hancock. Hancock was a signer and President of the Continental Congress.
The Charter, signed by Deputy Grand Master Roland Holt and witnessed by Grand
Secretary William White, reconstituted African Lodge No. 1 as African Lodge No
459 and thus began the parallel lines of black and Caucasian Freemasonry which
continues to exist in America.
Before 1815, exclusive territorial jurisdiction was not an active and recognized
doctrine of English Masonic Custom. The African Lodge of Boston exercised its
right to establish other Lodges, making itself a Mother Lodge, its Master Prince
having the authority to issue warrants on the same basis as Masters of Lodges in
Europe!
African Lodges were constituted in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and New York. On
June 24, 1791, the African Grand Lodge of North America was organized in Boston
with Prince Hall as Grand Master. This was one year before the organization of
the United Grand Lodge of Massachusetts (Caucasian).
In 1827, 45 years after the
(Caucasian) Grand Lodge of Massachusetts had done so, African Lodge of Boston
declared itself independent of the Grand Lodge of England.The original charter of African Lodge of Boston is in the possession of the Most
Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts and is the only known
original 18th Century Charter in existence issued to any American Lodge by the
Grand Lodge of England. It proudly represents the indisputable legitimacy and
regularity of 45 Prince Hall Grand Lodges and their subordinate lodges and
affiliated bodies.
In 1869 a fire destroyed Massachussets' Grand Lodge headquarters and a number of
its priceless records. The Charter, in its metal tube, was in a Grand Lodge
chest. The tube saved the Charter from the flames but the intense heat charred
it. The Charter was saved when Grand Master S.T. Kendall crawled into the
burning building and saved the Charter from complete destruction. Thus a Grand
Master's devotion and heroism further consecrated this parchment to us, and
added a further detail to its history.
During 1947, in memory of Prince Hall, the descendent Grand Lodges of African
Grand Lodge changed their names to "Prince Hall Grand Lodge" with two
exceptions. Today, throughout the world, there are 43 "Most Worshipful Prince
Hall Grand Lodges", some 5000 subordinate Lodges and more than 300,000 Prince
Hall Masons.
