[edit] Uncategorized

This page has numerous mistakes in wikifying and has no sources for any of the material. --flatluigi(^talk/_contrib) 12:09, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

This article does not tell me when she got married. She married in 1784EleanorOfWales 16:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] names

her kids names

Earl, Mary, Paitence —The preceding unsigned comment was added by EleanorOfWales (talk • contribs) 23:52, 17 April 2007 (UTC).

Yes, but I think that the what they were named for bit is a little far fetched... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.36.208.117 (talk) 20:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] sourcing, mistakes, tone

Yeah, this article is pretty bad (the first female lecturer?); pity, because it would be great to hear more about her.205.212.73.70 09:06, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

It seems this article has been vandalized or some parts very poorly written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.6.65.10 (talk) 13:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

They had twenty children, Shane, Pat, and Smitty. Also Deborah Sampson adopted a African bongo anteater. Seems to be vandalized, also the font size is funny in places. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.6.65.10 (talk) 14:11, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion of Marriage

I just recently added something about her mother wanting her to get married after she had spent some time as a schoolteacher. I do not know if it should go in early life, or marriage. I put it in early life. If people think marriage where it should beling, please move it for me? Also, would anyone with more information please added more to the marriage section? It needs expansion.Thanks! EleanorOfWales 21:55, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discharge from Army

The sources at the bottom of the page state that she was discharged by General Knox, not General Washington..... Is that correct? 24.229.119.116 (talk) 14:49, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name

The spelling of her name is actually Samson; it was misspelled by Herman Mann, a newspaper reporter who wrote a book about Samson after she told him about her war experiences. Should the title and text of the article be changed? Nerdygeek101 (talk) 15:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
