Molly Pitcher, which was an 18th century name for a woman who worked in taverns. There were many "camp followers", She may be a combined memory of several women who aided fallen soldiers.In the book "Soiled Doves" many of the prostitutes had empathy and a heart towards helping wounded people.
They say her name was Mary Hayes, but I have heard and read other names also.

She was a real person, but that is just her nickname. Here's the link to the info:

It's one of those questions historians have a different viewpoint on.
