Washington Family Arms Ancestor of Old Glory
New York columnist notes Flag Day marks the 179th anniversary of Old Glory. The article surveys origins of the flag and the Washington coat of arms as a possible influence, citing Hunter College scholar Thomas O. Mabbott and lingering questions about who designed the Stars and Stripes. It traces 13 stripes and 13 stars in 1777 to later changes, with Vermont and Kentucky additions and the 48-star flag in use since 1912, while acknowledging we may never know the full origin story.
