Joanna Troutman also Johanna Troutman sewed a flag for a battalion of Georgia volunteers who were leaving to fight in the Texas Revolution. She created the Troutman flag which had a five-pointed blue star and the words "Liberty or Death" on a white silk field. On the reverse side was the Latin phrase UBI LIBERTAS HABITAT, IBI NOSTRA PATRIA EST which means, "Where liberty dwells, there is our fatherland".
