Betsy Ross and momma were dumped in a yard. Mom is a purebred beagle and has found a loving home. Betsy came to us on the 4th of July and is such a cute little girl - but holds no resemblence to momma - doesn't even bark like a beagle. Who can resist this cute little one. History lesson: Elizabeth Griscom. Ever heard of her? You should have. She is credited with making the first American flag. Oh, you know her better as Betsy Ross. Betsy left her Quaker society (she was "read out" rather than run out) to marry John Ross. The couple set up an upholstery business. Her husband died in an explosion while guarding ammunition in January, 1776. Later that year, she met with George Washington, George Ross, and Robert Morris. This meeting led to the sewing of the first American flag. Betsy remarried, this time to a sea captain, who died in an English prison after being captured while obtaining war supplies.
