She fought for the patriot cause dressed as a man because women weren't allowed to fight as a soldier. In 1781 she decided to dress as a man so she could travel and explore and sewed a suit to wear. Then, she got the idea to serve as a soldier, but there is a bit of confusion about when she joined. Some reports state it was 1781 while another has 1782 because when she petitioned for back pay she used both dates. She fought as a light infantryman in the Hudson valley and was wounded in the battle in the thigh with Tory soldiers. She removed the bullet herself but the area gave her problems the rest of her life. In another battle she got another wound when she was shot through the shoulder, but it was when she was hospitalized for a fever it was discovered she was a woman by the doctor treating her. Instead of turning her in he let her recover in peace in his own home with his wife and family. In 1785 she was discharged and married Benjamin Gannett. They had 3 children and a small farm.
