A note on Anne Bonny:
There are many stories about Anne Bonny, one of most notorious female pirate in history. There is no solid documentation of her entire life, in fact, there are large gaps as well as a debate on when she actually died. Some say she was smuggled out of prison, some say her father’s bribes freed her.
Some say she married and moved to Charles Town (today’s Charleston, South Carolina) and lived under the name Burleigh and had several more children.
Some say that Mary Read faked death in prison and escaped, hidden under a shroud, and she and Anne eventually moved to New Orleans and lived out the rest of their days together.
No one seems to know the entire story of Anne Bonny.
Perhaps it’s best that way.
