Mary Young Pickersgill (1776–1857) made the 1st flag of 15 stars and stripes in 1813, begun at her house and finished on the floor of a nearby brewery, along with a smaller flag then seen by Francis Scott Key on Fort McHenry. It is thought that Betsy Ross' only contribution to the flag design was to change the 6-pointed stars to the easier 5-pointed star.
