After Ross was widowed by her first husband John in 1776,during an explosion while on militia duty. Betsy Ross married her second husband, a sailor by the name of Joseph Ashburn the following year in 1777. Sadly, after his ship was captured by the British in 1781, Ross was widowed again when he passed away in prison in 1782. Her longest lasting husband was her third marriage of 34 years to Ashburn's former prisonmate, whom she met when he delivered the news of her second husband death. They were married in 1783 until his death in 1817.
