Anne Bonny (Anne Bonney), one of the few female pirates operating in the early 18th Century, mainly in the Caribbean around Jamaica and the Bahamas. What little is known of her comes mainly from Captain Charles Johnson's book 'A General History of The Pyrates' 1724. She was known for her fierce temper, violence and was "willing to do anything". Born 1697(?) in Cork, Ireland, her date of death is unknown as nothing is heard of her after 1721. Along with her shipmates she had been tried in Jamaica in late 1720 and sentenced to death, but was given a stay of execution as she was pregnant. Johnson writes in 1724 "She was continued in Prison, to the Time of her lying in, and afterward reprieved from Time to Time; but what is become of her since we cannot tell; only this we know, that she was not executed." There is an Ann Bonny mentioned as having been buried in Jamaica in 1733, but others suggest she returned to Charleston, South Carolina and died in 1782.
