In late May or early June of 1776, according to Betsy's telling, she had that fateful meeting with the Committee of Three: George Washington, George Ross, and Robert Morris, which led to the sewing of the first flag.
Betsy Ross Facts and Footnotes
Betsy Ross was born January 1, 1752 and died at the age of 84 on January 30, 1836.
Betsy had 7 children, 5 of whom lived to adulthood. She had no children with John Ross, however.
At the age of 21, she eloped across the Delaware River to Gloucester, New Jersey, and was married at a tavern.
She was the 8th of 17 children.
She claimed to have done tailoring for George Washington.
She has been buried in three different locations: Free Quaker burial ground at South 5th St. near Locust, Mt. Moriah Cemetery, and now on Arch Street in the courtyard adjacent to the Betsy Ross House.
A major Philadelphia bridge is named in her honor.
While shopping nearby, I notice that this location was prime for a new cache and to make it a tribute to the maker of our American flag.
The container is a typical film canister with only a log. Please sign and return to its original locations. Thanks and enjoy the hunt..
