About Me
Paragraph 1 I was born on October 13, 1754 in New Jersey. We got married on July 24, 1769. I married a local barber, but then joined the war. During the American Revolutionary war’s battle of Monmouth, I carried pitchers of water to soldiers. During the battle my husband collapsed so I had to took over the operation of his cannon.

Paragraph 2

My husband was a cannon fire and he fired guns. Sometimes the soldiers call me Captain Molly. I was a servant girl and a got married when I was sixteen. One of my good friend called me Molly Pitcher because of my tireless effort and I guess it stucked. One thing I did in the war was at the battle of Monmouth in Freehold, New Jersey I give the soldiers water when it was hot out.

Paragraph 3  During the battle I almost got by a cannon but to when through my legs when I was delivering a coat. I got honored in Pennsylvania in 1822. I got $40 as award for giving water to the soldiers and for firing a cannon. General Washington made me officer. When William died I was really sad, but then I got married to George McCauley in 1789.
