Who is Anne bonny and what is she known for?
Much of what is known about Anne Bonny is based on Captain Charles Johnson’s A General History of the Pyrates. Official records and contemporary letters dealing with her life are scarce. Most details about her life prior to her arrival in the Bahamas do not appear to be based on any primary source evidence, including the claims that she was born in 1698 in County Cork, Ireland; that she was a daughter of attorney William Cormac and his maidservant; that her mother was named Mary Brennan and her grandmother was named Peg; and that, when the affair became public, Cormac moved to Charleston, South Carolina where he made a fortune and bought a large plantation. Diligent efforts to source all of these claims continue in earnest by pirate historians. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.
