Betsy Ross, best known for making the first American flag, was born Elizabeth Griscom in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on January 1, 1752. A fourth-generation American, and the great-granddaughter of a carpenter who had arrived in New Jersey in 1680 from England, Betsy was the eighth of 17 children.
Other than her family's claims, there is no serious evidence linking Ross to the flag's design. When the US Post Office announced its Betsy Ross commemorative stamp in 1952, some naysayers and historians objected, citing the lack of documentation to support the story.
