No, he did not. He never met her and didn't ask her to make a flag. The first flag was commissioned by the navy in 1776 by Francis Hopkins. Congress has recognized him for this. The Ross story comes from her grandson and is just another American fable.

There is no historical evidence to support the claim that George Washington personally requested Betsy Ross to make the American flag. The story of Betsy Ross making the first American flag is based on family tradition and anecdotal accounts, and it is not fully substantiated by reliable historical records.
