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.
In 1723, at the age of 17, Franklin proposed to 15-year-old Deborah Read while a boarder in the Read home. At that time, Read's mother was wary of allowing her young daughter to marry Franklin, who was on his way to London at Governor Sir William Keith's request, and also because of his financial instability.
