Betty Holekamp
Betty Holekamp (1826–1902) was a German colonist and pioneer in Texas. She is recognized for several "firsts" as a Texas pioneer, such as being the first to sew an American flag upon Texas's acceptance into the Union, and thus is known as the Betsy Ross of Texas.〔Ransleben, Guido E. ''A Hundred Years of Comfort in Texas''. Press of The Naylor Company, 1954, p. 191.〕 She was also among the first residents in four Texas Hill Country communities: New Braunfels, Fredericksburg, Sisterdale, and Comfort.
==Life in Germany==
Betty Holekamp was born Betty Wilhelmine Abbethern in Hannover, Germany. She was the daughter of Henry Christian Abbethern who was the ministerial accountant to King Ernest Augustus of Hannover and she grew up in the household of the King. She was schooled with the King's daughter, and was being trained to be a governess.〔Van Winkle, Irene. ''West Kerr Current'', "Holekamps’ Dream of a Better Life Eventually Realized", September 25, 2008.〕
While playing music together at court gatherings, she met Georg Friedrich "Fritz" Holekamp (1812–1862), the son of a wealthy Hannover builder and an educated Royal Architect and musician. Once engaged, the couple learned of opportunities in Texas from Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels. They wed in March 1844. On September 16, 1844, Fritz Holekamp entered into a contract with the German Immigration Company,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.glo.texas.gov/cf/land-grant-search/landgrants.cfm?intID=493368 )〕 and soon there after the couple boarded the ship ''Johann Dethard'' arriving at Galveston and then at Indianola in November 1844.〔
