thread_title:  Discharge from Army 

message: According to this article
Deborah Samson Gannett... was the only woman to fight in the Revolutionary War
However, according to American Revolution
Women contributed to the American Revolution in many ways... in a few cases like Deborah Samson fighting disguised as men.
According to Women in the American Revolution
Women who fought in the war were met with ambivalence that fluctuated between admiration and contempt, depending on the woman’s motivation and activity. Devotion to following a man was admired, while those who seemed enticed by the enlistment bounty warranted scorn of enlisted men. (Anna Maria Lane, Margaret Corbin fit under first category, while Ann Bailey (under name Samuel Gay) belonged to 2nd category and was discharged, fined, and put in jail for two weeks, and Anne Smith was condemned for her attempt to join the army in order to secure the enlistment fee.) Deborah Sampson, Hannah Snell, Sally St. Clair successfully hid their gender for a time
According to Margaret Corbin
Margaret Corbin... was a woman who fought in the American Revolutionary War
According to Anne Bailey
"Mad" Anne Bailey... was a famous story teller and frontier scout who served in the fights of the American Revolutionary War...
Thus the other articles imply Deborah was not the only one.

thread_title:  Contradiction 

message: I read a biography on her years ago, and it bore little resemblance to this article. Somebody PLEASE fix this mess, cause it's just an awful embarrassment. 24.189.87.160 (talk) 07:37, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Effed up article 

message: It says: "Her grandson, George Washington, erected a monument to her and the Civil War veterans many years later."
I don´t think it´s possible, since George Washington was born in 1732 and Deborah Sampson was born in 1760.
That´s what I ve found.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.247.57.34 (talk) 00:47, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

message: "She was a horrible teacher and got abused by Jonathan Sampson.It caused Jonathan Sampson to meet the great super hero,The Coon." This appears to opinion not cited, and vandalism. I'm removing it.

thread_title:  Apparent vandalism 

message: Her birth year is listed inconsistently as 1760 and 1765. Which is it? Alexandrathom (talk) 17:26, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birth year? 

message: If she wasn't gay or transgender, she should not be listed under "18th century in LGBT history." It is misleading. 17:32, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
