Elizabeth “Betsy” Griscom Ross born in Philadelphia, was a skilled seamstress who created the first American flag for President George Washington in 1776. “The Betsy Ross Flag” was made with 13 alternating red-and-white stripes and 13 stars in a square background of blue in the upper left corner. There are thirteen 5-pointed stars in a circle representing the original 13 colonies that fought for their independence during the American Revolutionary War. Betsy loyally made flags for the US military for over 50 years.
