Even if this were true, that still does not support a fiddler playing the tune for an 1861-1862 impression, unless you have evidence to support its use. Again, plain/everyday/common is not the same thing as "old enough".

The tune used for Elvis Presley's Love Me Tender (Aura Lee) was known before he sang it, but that doesn't mean it was well-known in the 1940s.
