This work [1] mentions the following historical claims made about the tune:

  • "The same as of the New England jig 'Lydia Fisher'"
  • "The earliest printed version of the air 'Yankee Doodle' appears [...] under the title of 'Fisher's Jig'"
  • "The air is identical with 'Kitty Fisher's Jig'"
  • "'Yankee Doodle' is identical with an 'Air from Ulysses,' opera by J. C. Smith"
