The Bonny Pirate Anne:
Another girl often disguised, as a boy was Anne Bonny. She was born the illegitimate daughter of an Irish lawyer who got it off with his wife’s maid while the wife was ill and staying with her mother in law. After Many dramas and court cases the lawyer settles with the maid at his home. The wife moves in with the mother in law and she (the wife) is accidentally duffed by the husband who thought in the dark that he was potting the maid who had been moved temporarily out of that bed without him knowing. The maid has a daughter when she is wrongfully in prison for stealing from the household.
The wife is angry with the husband for porking her accidentally and for also making the maid pregnant. The husband not knowing it was his wife he had in the dark in the maid’s chamber is angry with his wife for being unfaithful. Wife goes to live with mother in law and when Anne’s mother dies in prison husband takes her home but disguised as a boy telling everyone he is a relative’s son who he will train to the law.
The lawyer Bonny decides to head for the America’s to increase his fortune and he does and soon Anne who still acts as a boy is toughing it out against would be rapists and fighting anyone who would fight her. Her father decides to tame her by finding her a tame husband. She is not to be led and marries a wayward sailor. He takes her to sea and soon they settle in Cuba. Here she meets a pirate captain and he sweeps her off her feet and convinces her to come on board dressed as a man to share his cabin. She does so and through many adventures fights by her man’s side. Eventually the ship is captured and as described in the last post it is Mary and Anne who are the ones that hold the deck the longest, the rest cowering down below.
Apparently her captain was granted to see Anne on the morning of his execution and she told him “if you had held the deck with me and Mary they would not be hanging you today, be gone.” Anne became too ill to hang and soon some of her father’s business acquaintances saw her and helped her. She did remain ill a long time and there was no record of where she got to but she was not executed.
