((This is rambly and nitpicky and unnecessarily long and I apologize for all three of those things. Though you're right in both instances I'm waxing verbose about. Also, thanks for this and the other timeline. It's an excellent resource! Would you mind if I added them to spnverticalfile? BTW I'm here via all_spn.))
-(I've also seen this year referenced as 1988 with a citation to John Winchester's Journal)
John Winchester's Journal also says that Dean graduated, and that apparently he got the Impala on a hunt early on. And other stuff but whatever, that book is 80% copypasta about supernatural stuff and...well, if I was keeping a journal about hunts and thing to look out for and my kid for 22 years...there'd be a lot more of it.
-Year [1994] estimated by assuming Sam was 11 when he entered 6th grade.
I just wrote it out and it makes sense to me too. I was born in November of '83 and was Class of '02, but my parents told me that they could have put me in kindergarten earlier and I would have been Class of '01 like Sam is in canon (though John Winchester's Journal has him graduating a year late in '02 and not leaving for Stanford right away, possibly as troubleshooting for Dean saying that Sam was at Stanford for two years when Kripke said oops, no it was four).
