Wow. Great information and saved me a great deal of research. I don't see any names that would indicate the oral history is accurate. I think I'll move my research time to something I can actually document. Thank you for taking the time to send this and respond.

If your oral family history suggests you may be descended from Betsy Ross, you should be aware that Betsy's direct descendants MUST have one of her 5 surviving daughters as an ancestor, as Betsy had no sons. Those 5 daughters were:
1. Eliza Ashburn
2. Clarissa Sidney Claypoole
3. Susanna Claypoole
4. Rachel Claypoole
5. Jane Claypoole
For their husbands and children, grandchildren etc., go to

Using those names, US census & BMD data, you may be able able to prove your family connection to Betsy.
Good hunting!!!
