What fate befell the pirate Anne Bonney?

Nobody knows for sure what was the final fate of the famous Irish-American pirate of the 18th century. Sentenced to be hanged along with the rest of the crew of the Revenge, she was spared due to her pregnancy. "According to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004), Anne Bonny’s father managed to pay the ransom for his daughter and bring her back to the Charles Town. Soon after, she gave a birth to Rackham’s child. In 1721 she remarried to Joseph Burleigh. They had eight children. She died in April 25, 1782 in South Carolina." However, there is no firm evidence of this. http://www.thewayofthepirates.com/famous-pirates/anne-bonny.php Apr 14 09, 4:00 AM

Thanks for the informative answer looney_tunes. It was a bit of a trick question, Anne Bonney also happens to be the name of the leader of a group on here called the Chain Gang, who also like to be known as pirates. Our team has an ongoing neighbourly feud with them.. The question was half intended as a question, half intended as a dig at them. Apr 14 09, 5:22 AM
