Boston News - January 18, 1792
A very extraordinary circumstance arrested 
the attention of the House this afternoon. 
A petition was presented by a 
Mrs. Deborah Gannett, who served with 
reputation, as a soldier, three years in 
the Army of the United States, and received 
an honourable discharge there from. 
This extraordinary woman enlisted as a 
male, by the name of Robert Shurtlift; 
and as such did her duty without a stain 
on her virtue or honor - she only prays, 
in her petition for the payment of her 
arrears; but submits the circumstances 
of her services to the consideration of 
the Legislature: And from the feelings 
which appeared on the occasion expressive 
of a strong desire to reward heroism like 
hers. There is no room for doubt, that a 
compensation will be granted, adequate to 
her services, and honourable to the 
Government. Several members corroborated 
the facts stated in the petition which was 
committed to a respectable committee.
