Betsy Ross (1752–1836) was an upholsterer in Philadelphia
who produced uniforms, tents, and flags for Continental forces.
Although her manufacturing contributions are documented, a popular story
evolved in which Ross was hired by a group of founding fathers
to make a new U.S. flag. According to the legend, she deviated from
the 6-pointed stars in the design and produced a flag with 5-pointed
stars, instead. The claim by her descendants that Betsy Ross
contributed to the flag's design is not generally accepted by modern
American scholars and vexillologists.[2]

The flag of the East India Company is considered to have inspired the 1775 Grand Union Flag, the first flag of the United States, as the two flags were of the same design.[3] This connection is attributed to numerous sources. Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania once gave a speech endorsing the adoption of the Company's flag by the United States as their national flag. He said to George Washington of Virginia,
"While the field of your flag must be new in the details of its design,
it need not be entirely new in its elements. There is already in use a
flag, I refer to the flag of the East India Company."[9]
This was a way of symbolising American loyalty to the Crown as well as
the United States' aspirations to be self-governing, as was the East
India Company. Some colonists also felt that the Company could be a
powerful ally in the American War of Independence, as they shared similar aims and grievances against Crown tax policies. Colonists therefore flew the Company's flag, to endorse the Company.[10]
However, the theory that the Grand Union Flag was a direct
descendant of the flag of the East India Company has been criticised as
lacking written evidence.[7] On the other hand, the resemblance is obvious, and a number of the Founding Fathers of the United States were aware of the East India Company's activities and of their free administration of India under Company rule.[7]
