She did not make the flag. Congress has recognized Francis Hopkins as the maker in 1776 of the first flag. The Ross story was made by her grandson and is not true.
Her grandson made up the story and somehow it became part of history like so many things do.

No. It was a story made up by her grandson nor did she have anything to do with the selection of the colors or design.

Francis Hopkinson is credited with designing and making the first American flag. The myth that Betsy Ross created the first American flag was started by her grandson. There is no proof whatsoever that Betsy Ross ever met Washington, as her grandson claims.
She didn't make his clothes nor the flag . She didn't know him. The story of Ross and the flag comes from her grandson and is a myth.

Not much. The story about her making the first flag is from her grandson. It didn't happen. Francis Hopkins designed the first flag in 1776 for the navy. He has been given the credit by Congress for this, not Ross.
Besty Ross. It is not true her grandson made up the story several years after her death.
