CLAIM HANNAH RORE IS 1
MOTHER OF OUR BANNER 1
All these years we have been pay- i
ing Betsy Ross an honor that right- |
fully belonged to Hannah Uore. So a •
writer in the Philadelphia Evening ’
Ledger declares, and he adds that the
first flag was made from the good
lady’s petticoat.
Hannah Rore, according to this ver
sion, was the great-grandmother of1
the late President McKinley and the
wife of the head of the continental mu
nitions plant. Andrew Rore, her hus
band, manufactured a large portion of
the shells used by the colonists against
the British.
■Washington, it is said, confided to
Andrew Rore the need of a flag and
Mrs. Rore undertook to supply one.
The one she made was adopted.
