edit...have added an alleged birthdate for the subject:
- Find A Grave is not considered a reliable source for statements of facts in Wikipedia articles.
- wikitree(dot)com is also not a reliable source.
- Geni(dot)com is also not a reliable source.
- wikidata(dot)org is part of Wikipedia, is user-generated and cannot be considered a reliable source. ALSO. WP:CIRCULAR & the essay WP:NOTSOURCE apply - meaning, Wikipedia cannot be used as a reference upon itself.
Mount Vernon only states the *year* of Augustine Washington's birth here.
A National Park Service brochure also only states the *year* of Washington's birth.
Unless a published, reliable source states a date & a month for Augustine Washington's birth, it should be left as 1694.

- All of the above three sources are user-edited sources/websites. None of them can be used to back up statements of facts, as references for Wikipedia articles. Shearonink (talk) 19:13, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- All of the above sources are user-generated sources/websites and cannot be used as references for statements in Wikipedia articles. Y'know folks...just because you read something *somewhere* on the internet?...doesn't make that something a fact. Shearonink (talk) 14:39, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- All of the above is as true in April as it was in January. Shearonink (talk) 12:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
