Andrew Griscom (d.1694) immigrated from England to Newton, Camden County, New Jersey, married Sarah Dole in 1685, and moved to Phila- delphia. He was a direct ancestor of Elizabeth Griscom (1752-1836)-- also known as "Betsy Ross"--who lived in Philadelphia and married (1) John Ross (1752-1776) in 1773; (2) Joseph Ashburn (d.1782) in 1777; (3) John Claypoole (1752-1817) in 1783--with issue from the second and third marriages. Includes a chapter in support of the family claim that "Betsy Ross" sewed the American flag which was accepted by Congress. Includes Griscom family genealogy to about 1920.
