Did the young re-enactors of Betsy Ross's wedding in 1773 mistakenly get married on Saturday?
On Saturday, two 17-year-olds from Gloucester City High School had just reenacted Betsy Ross’s wedding ceremony in Proprietor’s Park on the former site of Hugg’s Tavern, where the nuptials took place 250 years ago.
“I’m starving,” said Azzari, who, in keeping with the trappings of a historic day, is the third-great-granddaughter of Charles W. Weisgerber, the 1893 painter of. It depicts Ross holding the flag in front of George Washington and others.Although the reenactors couldn’t claim kinship to Ross, three other people at the ceremony could.
Touching on a point of contention, John R. emphasized that “Betsy Ross did not design America’s first flag. But she did create the first flag after George Washington had visited her in Philadelphia and asked her to.” Ross was also courageous for backing the American patriots against the British king, something not all Quakers did, John R. said. “She was more pro-revolution than other Quakers,” he added.
