DEBORAH SAMPSON
Deborah Sampson was born December 17, 1760. She dressed in mens cloths and joined the American Revolution. She went to the doctor and they discovered her secret. She kept a journal about her experiences but it got lost during a boat ride in a storm. She lived in Massachusetts. She died April 29, 1827. In my point of view I think she is important because she proved women can fight in war. She got married April 17, 1785. She had three children Earl Bradford, Mary, and Patience.
