Did Betsy Ross actually make the nation’s first official flag? There seems to be some controversy

Update
The woman in the photo portrays not Betsy Ross but Mary Pickersgill, the Baltimore flag maker who made the Star-Spangled Banner, the flag that inspired the national anthem. Check out http://americanhistory.si.edu/starspangledbanner/.
