The usual number assigned to Maryland is SEVENTH. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_date_of_statehood But note: 1) it was not "admitted" --that term only applies to states added AFTER the original 13 2) the count given for the early states is misleading since the Constitution did not go into effect at all until the required 2/3 (9 of the original 13) had ratified it. So at least the first nine (including Maryland) would all be included under the Constitution at the same time. For all practical purposes, since votes 9 to 11 happened so close together that (#10 & 11 did not even know the 9th vote had already been cast), it was not even possible to officially put the Constitution into effect till after the first 11 had ratified it. Thinking of this in terms of elections (the first measure of participating in the federal government), of the original 13, only North Carolina and Rhode Island did not ratify in time to participate in the first Presidential election and to immediately send representatives to the first Congress under the new Constitution.

Although the U.S. flag has progressed through several different designs, all with 15 or 13 (13 after 1818) red and white stripes with a blue union--each has had a differing number of stars in different configurations. As Maryland was among the original 13 States, one of the 13 stars on that flag represented Maryland, and Maryland has been represented with a star on each succeeding design of the U.S. flag since that time.
