The legend is doubted in that link based on Washington’s freemasonism,
The other problems with the legend are: (1) it is based primarily on oral history; and (2) even the oral history really only extends back to 1875 or thereabouts.

Well, no, the WRITTEN history dates back to 1875; by definition, it’s hard to know how far further back the oral history dates.
