An Appeal to Heaven flag WAS our first national flag approved of by George Washington during the Revolution the flag was flown on a group of ships known as WASHINGTONS CRUISERS...it was before the STARS AND STRIPES...
Good article by DUTCH SHEETS that you can google on it on the internet

It’s a pine tree on a white background.....with the words An Appeal to Heaven......very simple

It’s from the Revolutionary War era.....George Washington commissioned it and it mostly flew from seagoing vessels

There’s more history but that’s the gist
