= Orren Randolph Smith = Orren Randolph Smith (December 18, 1827 – March 4, 1913) was born in Warren County, North Carolina and Died in Henderson, North Carolina. He is known for the creation of the confederate stars and bars flag, but this is disputed among scholars.

Confederacy
When the confederate states of America were formed, a committee for a confederate flag requested submissions from it's citizens. The final design that was chosen was claimed to have been created by 2 men, Nicola Marschall, an artist on the faculty of Marion Female Seminary in Marion, Alabama, and Smith. Modern scholars think that it is more likely that Marschall created the design, but this is still up for debate.
