He was born February 22, 1732 and died December 14, 1799.

The Julian calendar was being used at the time of George Washington's birth , so his birthday was Feb. 11 by the old calendar and that is the day that Washington always celebrated as his birthday. In 1752 Britain and British colonies switched to the Gregorian calendar which advanced dates by 11 days, so by the new calendar, Washington was born in Feb. 22.
