I think the person who made the flag was Betsy Ross because she knew General George Washington from church because they went to the same church and because her husband knew him too because he was in the Pennsylvania Militia and was killed while on guard duty. She once made cuffs for George Washington so he probably knew she was good for the job. One more thing a five pointed star was found in a safe that Samuel Wetherill had since 1776 and he was a girls father named Hannah Wetherill and she worked at Betsy’s shop. So that is my opinion of who I thought was the very first flag maker.
