This flag flew over the military stores in Bennington, Vermont, on August 16, 1777. The American militia, led by Colonel John Stark, defeated a large British raiding force led by British General John Burgoyne in order to protect military supplies at Bennington. The battle was won when Ethan Allen and Seth Warner, who led the Green Mountain Boys, arrived with cannon and supplies taken from Fort Ticonderoga which they had carried almost 600 miles to arrive at Bennington in the nick of time. The flag was made by Colonial Stark’s wife, Molly Stark, who following the accepted rules of heraldry began and ended the stripes with white ones. Also according to the rules of heraldry, a star must have at least 6 points. Anything with five points or less was called a spur.” Colonel Stark was promoted to general and after the war was given land in the Ohio River Valley. It is Stark County today. When General Stark died he was the oldest (last) Revolutionary War general.
