No, although I actually managed to find European nobility in the recent ancestry of someone this person was married to.

Beat me to it! I just found Scottish nobility in her first husband's ancestry.

You got it! (Well, whether she actually made the first US flag is a bit murky, but Betsy Ross is indeed the correct answer to this round.)

I suppose that the myth she invented was greater than the actual flag.

New game up in a few minutes.

Another good pick by the QM.

Out of curiosity, obviously she is famous for politics/government; how would you have answered a straight-up "famous for inventing something" question?
