Margaret Cochran Corbin (1751-1800) was one of the Molly Pitchers who helped the American artillerymen during the Revolutionary War. We posted about her in last year's Battle of Fort Washington post.

Thank you, Museum of the American Revolution for keeping her story alive.
#americanrevolution #battleoffortwashington #margaretcochrancorbin #mollypitcherTwenty-five-year-old Margaret Corbin witnessed the death of her husband, John, at the Battle of Fort Washington on Manhattan Island, which took place on this day in 1776.
As Hessian soldiers attacked, the young woman took her husband’s position at a cannon and continued to fight. Shown here in this painting by Don Troiani (Don Troiani Historical Artist), Corbin fell wounded when three grapeshot hit her, injuring her arm, jaw, and chest. The Hessians took her prisoner and released her from captivity after treating her wounds. Corbin later became the first woman military pensioner of the United States when the Continental Congress awarded her soldier’s half-pay for life in 1779. Corbin, who passed away in 1800, is buried on the grounds of West Point - The U.S. Military Academy.

#TodayInHistory Battle of Fort Washington (16 Nov 1776)
On 16 November 1776, Hessian Lieutenant General Wilhelm von Knyphausen led 3000 Hessian mercenaries and 5000 Redcoats (British soldiers) to lay siege to Fort Washington, which was located on the northern end and highest point of Manhattan Island in New York City, New York. This was the final devastating battle in General Washington’s failed New York campaign.
As a result, Fort Washington and its garrison of 250 men on the east side of the Hudson River fall to the British, led by General Charles Cornwallis. Fort Lee, which is on the west side of the Hudson River in New Jersey, is abandoned by the British two days later.
