Betsy Ross was the eighth of 17 children, but only 9 survived childhood.
According to WIkipedia: A sister, Sarah (1745-47), and brother, William (1748-49), died before Elizabeth ("Betsy") was born (another sister, Sarah Griscom Donaldson (1749-85), was named after the earlier deceased Sarah). Betsy was just five years old when her sister Martha (1754-57) died, and another sister, Ann (1757-59), only lived to the age of 2. Brothers Samuel I (1753-56) and Samuel II (1758-61) both died at age three. Two others, twins, brother Joseph (1759-62) and sister Abigail (1759-62), died in one of the frequent smallpox epidemics in the autumn of 1762
The names of her 16 siblings were:
Deborah
Susannah

Sarah Griscom Donaldson (named after the previous Sarah)
Rebecca
William
Mary
Samuel I
Samuel II (named after previous Samuel)
Joseph
Abigail

No, Betsy Ross was not an only child. She had seventeen siblings.
Yes, They did but I am not sure how they died.
Betsy Ross had several siblings, including her sisters, Mary and Sarah, and her brothers, Joseph and John. She was the eighth of thirteen children in the Ross family. While details about all her siblings are limited, her family played a significant role in her early life and upbringing.
Well, honey, Betsy Ross had 16 siblings, so buckle up. Here we go: her siblings' names were William, Sarah, Martha, John, George, David, Lydia, Abigail, Jane, Joseph, Rebecca, Susannah, James, Hannah, and Charles. Whew, that's a whole lot of family drama right there!
I'm pretty sure she had 16 brothers and sisters.
