Deborah Sampson Gannett House, East Street, Sharon, Mass.

Deborah lived with her family in this New England home after she left the military and married Benjamin Gannett. However, the couple faced constant financial troubles, which led her to petition the government for her rightful soldier's pension as she never recovered from the wounds she received during the Revolutionary War.
