'''Betsy Ross''', born on Jan. 1, 1752 as the 8th of 17 children, is famous as one of the characters in the story of the birth of the [[United States of America]].
Her husband died at the beginning of the [[American Revolution]] while he was guarding a [[munitions]] depot. General [[George Washington]] then asked her in June 1776 to sew an [[American Flag]], which is what we know her best for.
Betsy Ross Day is celebrated on January 2nd.
A [[Quaker]], she married the son of an [[Episcopal]] rector and nephew of a future signer of the [[Declaration of Independence]].
