where did the office of overseer come from in the mark degree and what are his duties
The office of the overseer descends from the operative management of Scottish stonemasons and wrights, such as those recorded in early Edinburgh trade regulations. In these operative bodies, overseers functioned as a quartet of inspectors appointed to examine incoming craftsmen to ensure they met the requisite standards before being allowed to work within the jurisdiction.

where did the office of overseer come from in mark masonry and what are his duties
The office of Overseer derives its origin from the Biblical account of the construction of King Solomon's Temple in 2 Chronicles ii. 17, where the overseers of the work are designated by the Hebrew term Menatzchim. James Anderson, in his Book of Constitutions, interpreted these figures as expert Master Masons appointed to superintend and direct the craftsmen, establishing a tradition that became embedded in Masonic lore.
