FIrst Headmaster/Headmistress of Hogwarts

Have we ever been told who was the first Headmaster/Headmistress of 
Hogwarts?

The reason I am wondering about this takes us back to the 4 houses 
being the 4 elements. We know that the 5th element is Love.  We know 
that the 4 elements must work together and the 5 element is the one 
that binds the others into a powerful force. 

It might be very important to know who was the first Headmaster 
during the time of the founders.

I have noticed that the 4 heads of house seem to get along well. It 
is the students of Slytherin that seem to have some problems with 
the other houses. If the 4 heads of houses work together well and DD 
as headmaster represents the force of Love, this could be what keeps 
the school going. 

Again I think that there is some metaphysical reason that LV wants 
his soul in objects from each of the houses. And it follows that it 
is a good thing that he has never had all 4 houses. He does not have 
Gryffindor. 

Harry as the Love force in the final battle must unite the 4 houses 
to produce the power necessary to distroy LV. This is a theory, of 
course. 

I looked at the Lexicon, but did not see any reference to the first 
Headmaster. I think it might be important.  Does anyone have any 
ideas??  

Merlin comes to mind, but I really don't think it is him. But this 
brings me to ask, how did the Order of Merlin award come into being? 
Are we ever told that either?
