Image description: The design of the American flag is thought to derive from the family arms on this tablet in All Saints Church, Marlow, River Thames, Buckinghamshire.

The stars and stripes on this monument to William Horsepool are very clear. Horsepool - a 'gent' and member of the honorable society of Gray's Inn - married Mary Washington, the great great aunt of George Washington, first president of the United States of America.
