I wonder if I am descended from the female pirate known as Anne Bonney. Her birth name was Anne Cormac. She was the daughter of Irish people who moved to the Carolinas. She married a pirate named James Bonney. He sought a pardon and turned in/named names of other pirates, upsetting Anne and she left him. She later took up with Captain Jack Rackham and they had a baby born in Cuba. One legend is that the baby died. The other is that the baby didn't die but was left with friends (adopted) in Cuba. I have a 23andme match with someone in Scotland who descends from a Cormac family from Ireland. And I have a 23andme match with a man who is Cuban-American (all four of his grandparents were Cuban). His known pre-Cuba ancestry is from SW France and Spain. He has some other matches to the USA and British Isles. I wonder if he is descended from the baby adopted in Cuba.
The only Spanish ancestry I have is from English royal lines (Colonial American lines).
Pirates lived in the Carolinas and the Caribbean.
