      The original stars on a 44 star flag were in a circle.

      44 star is 1891 to 1896.

      Typical pattern is 8-6-6-6-6-8 (stars) in rows.

      Elisha Bayles lived from 1780 to 1851, so if the flag had 44 stars it wasn't his. See the chart at https://www.si.edu/spotlight/flag-day/flag-facts
