Betsy (Griscom) Ross is renowned as the person to have sewn the first American Flag which included stars representing the thirteen colonies. As a child, she attended a private Quaker school where she was taught reading, writing and most likely sewing. She later went on to become an upholsterer. In Colonial times, upholsterers performed jobs beyond sofa making and repairs.
