Deborah Sampson married Benjamin Gannett on April 7, 1785. They had three children: Earl (1786), Mary (1788) and Patience (1790). The marriage was for the most part cursed with poverty. The Gannetts lived in a small three room structure in Sharon.
Deborah Sampson died on April 29, 1827, in Sharon, Massachusetts, at the age of 66 of yellow (mountain) fever. She was buried in nearby Rock Ridge Cemetery. Her gravestone is located a short distance from the hill on which her grandson, George Washington Gay, erected a monument to her and the Civil War veterans many years later.
