It may be of some interest that at least in 1842 Abraham Lincoln was
an enthusiastic supporter of the Washingtonians, as documented in an
address to their Springfield meeting celebrating Washington's
birthday.  I came across extended excerpts in

               Paul M. Angle and Earl Schenck Miers (eds).
               The Living Lincoln
               1955, Barnes and Noble Books, N.Y.
               pp. 47-56
