Yes. There were two commonly used arrangement of the stars, One had them in a circle and the other three rows with 5, 8, and 5 stars.

The cult of St George, the patron saint of soldiers was brought to England by Crusaders returning from Palestine where he was martyred. This flag would have first been used by soldiers to recognise each other in battle. It's hard to specifically say how St George's Cross was chosen:- the symbol itself is probably ancient. In a nation of different tribes and peoples support for the Crusades would have been a rare unifying influence hence it caught on- largely in the absence of anything else. St George is legendary for slaying two Dragons to rescue a maiden. These two Dragons can be seen on London's coat of arms- which also features St George's Cross. A fitting legend for an army which may have feared the Welsh Dragon it later faced.

The ancient Turks believed in the Sky God. And Moon and Sun symbolized his eyes. They were sacred to them. Stars were very special for them too. They gave exotic names to the stars. Their religion (not really a religion, more like "the way it is") was called Tur (later renamed by the other people) The star could be there because of Sirius star which had a very special meaning among ancient Turks. They did not have the concept of death among thir culture and used the term "ucmaga ermek" for those that died. English translation would be close to "to ascend, transcend and fly" But it cannot be translated properly. Ucmak could mean the next phase of evolution in proto Turkish. They propbably believed they went to Sirius star.

"Ottoman" means "ATAMIN" in Turkish and mean "that belongs to my ancestors, elders."

Later after Arabs assimilated (actually tricked) Turkish culture and started giving them Arab names, the name became Osmanli. The Turks migrating to Anatolia from the far Middle Asia was because they were coming back to settle in their ancestors lands. And the star could mean Anatolia which means "Turkish homeland" as well. Anadolu means "land full of our mothers" in Turkish. Asia is Asya in Turkish and means something close to "The first land" So the star could mean all the Asia as well.

Speaking of the star, "Earth" means "Yurt" in Proto Turkish (their pronounciation is nearly same.) And today "YURT" means "my homeland" in modern Turkish. So it could mean the whole Earth as well.

The flag flying over Fort McHenry had 15 stripes. The Flag Act of January 13, 1794 - provided for 15 stripes and 15 stars after May 1795. This didn't change until the Act of April 4, 1818 - provided for 13 stripes and one star for each state, to be added to the flag on the 4th of July following the admission of each new state, signed by President Monroe. Note that on September 14, 1814 when Francis Scott Key composed the Star-Spangled Banner, the official configuration of the flag had been 15 stripes for 19 years and would not go back to 13 until almost 4 years later.

The Tennessee constitution defines the "Grand Divisions" of Tennessee as East Tennessee, Central Tennessee and West Tennessee.

Many different women in the early United States sewed flags. The "American patriotic mythology" names Betsy Ross as sewing the first flag, but this cannot be determined and is actually very unlikely due to the total number of women sewing flags and the slow rate of communication in those days.

The first national Confederate flag was nicknamed "Stars and Bars".

The Confederate battle flag that flew starting from 1863, was called "The Southern Cross".
