My son gave me a flag of dubious ancestry.  I can't seem to find anything about it.  It has 13 strips like our US flag but a Union Jack like Great Britain's in the left upper corner instead of the our stars.

Anyone know what this was supposed to be?


Thanks,

Grand Union flag?

The U.S. Had a National Flag Before The Flag Resolution of 1777

From December 1775 to July 4, 1776, colonists used a "national" flag and ensign consisting of 13 alternating red and white stripes and the British union in the canton.

Found this but, haven't verified it yet.

Grand Union flag?


That's the flag.  I am not familar with it.

OKAY its the Grand Union Flag which was the unratified 1st flag of the US.  It was first flown by John Paul Jones in 1775 on the ship Alfred in Philly according to Wikipedia
