Betsy Ross First Flag Legend Backed by New Paintings
Philadelphia museum cites two recently revealed works as circumstantial support for Betsy Ross making the first U S flag. An 1851 oil shows Ross presenting the Stars and Stripes to Washington, and a 1785 Peale portrait of Elizabeth Claypoole. Both works were unknown to many historians until this year and point to Ross being regarded as the flag maker in her lifetime. Weston Adams, Ross's great-great-great-grand nephew, funded and presented the pieces to Flag Week curators. The director says the evidence is compelling though circumstantial. The claim ties to Philadelphia beliefs and a long standing legend popularized in the 1870s.
