Betsy Ross was born Elizabeth Griscom to Samuel Griscom and the former Rebecca James in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on January 1, 1752, the eighth of seventeen children.[4] She grew up in a household where the plain dress and strict discipline of the Society of Friends dominated her life.[5] She learned to sew from her great-aunt Sarah Elizabeth Ann Griscom.[5] Her great-grandfather Andrew Griscom, a Quaker carpenter, emigrated in 1680 from England.[6]
After she finished her schooling at a Quaker public school, her father apprenticed her to an upholsterer named William Webster.[5][7] At this job, she fell in love with fellow apprentice John Ross, who was the son of Aeneas Ross (and Sarah Leach), an assistant rector at (Episcopal) Christ Church. The couple eloped in 1773 when she was 21 at Hugg's Tavern in Gloucester City, New Jersey.[8] The marriage caused a split from her family and meant her expulsion from the Quaker congregation. The young couple soon started their own upholstery business and joined Christ Church, where their fellow congregants included George Washington and his family.[4] Betsy and John Ross had no children
