Actually Betsy Ross is known to have made flags for the Pennsylvania Navy not necessarily American flags. They were probably signal flags as those were the most important flags to have on board. There is no record of Ms. Ross making the first American flag - she had just as much of an opportunity to make it as any one of the other numerous flagmakers in the city of Philadelphia. More Congress has recognized Francis Hopkins as the creator of the flag. He designed the flag for the Navy in 1776. The story about Ross is just that a story and is not true.
