The 13 stars of the first US flag represent the original 13 colonies which became the United States as a result of the Revolutionary War, but the stars do not have individual identities; all 13 of the original states have equal precedence. They created the US simultaneously, not one at a time.

The 1st State is considered to be Rhode Island, as it was the first to ratify the US Constitution, though it didn't become effective until 7 states had ratified it.
