Well, the story is specifically that George Washington was baptised on his deathbed by Fr. Leonard Neale, who was consecrated a bishop by Archbishop Caroll and succeeded as Archbishop of Baltimore in 1815. I'm not really sure what to think of it; there are conflicting accounts and I've not had time to try to get down to primary sources.
