Will there be repercussion from selling a rare1871 book of the freemasons?

I have this very rare first addition of what is like, the bible of the free masons.The History of Masonry by Mitchell -1871. My father John Shelton, was a member and so were some ancestors. They built “Rural Plains” near Studley it is the oldest home in Hanover County, dating back to 1670. Sir John Shelton received the property on which it stands through a King’s Grant bestowed in 1609, and it has remained in the Shelton family since. It is the oldest home in the United States in continuous possession of one family. Patrick Henry married Sarah Shelton at “Rural Plains” in 1754. It was damaged by Confederate cannon during the Battle of Totopotomoy Creek in 1864. With this type of history should I sell even though I'm deep in debt? Will this secret society become angered?
