Until 1752, the 25th day of March was the first day of the year. And
March was considered the first month. In 1752, the first day of the
year was changed to be January 1st, and on September 2nd, when the
people went to bed the next morning was September 14th, the calendar
having eleven days removed. This was done in order to get the
calendar in sync with the sun time. People did not like being older
than what they really were in actual days. Some people changed their
birth date. This included George Washington; he was born 11 Feb 1731/2
and changed it to 22 Feb. This mid-1700s shift of dates, and other
aspects of determining dates for genealogical records, are discussed
in these articles.
