It was bought in 1785 by Col. William Washington, a Virginian and kinsman to the first President. According to tradition, Col. Washington met his future wife, Jane Elliott, when he stopped at her family plantation near Rantowles on his way to the Battle of Eutaw Springs. He had no flag for his command, so Miss Eliott made him one from a damask curtain. The banner, known as the Eutaw Flag, was presented to the Washington Light Infantry by Mrs. Washington. Col. and Mrs. Washington are buried in the Elliott family burial ground at Rantowles.
