Sorry, it's taken me a while to "break into" this thread.

Try Ed Richardson's "Standards and Colors of the American Revolution" - probably OOP now, so you may have to try the public library, but there might be copies floating around on Amazon etc. Probably represents the entire reliable knowledge on the subject of AWI flags.

Be very, very wary of anything to do with the Betsy Ross legend - it all seems to be based on an interview with her grand-daughter many years later. Get alternative sources if you are looking for total authenticity.
