There is no historical record of Bonny's release or of her execution. This has fed speculation that her father ransomed her; that she might have returned to her husband, or even that she resumed a life of piracy under a new identity.
The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography states that "Evidence provided by the descendants of Anne Bonny suggests that her father managed to secure her release from jail and bring her back to Charles Town, South Carolina, where she gave birth to Rackham's second child. On December 21, 1721 she married a local man, Joseph Burleigh, and they had 10 children. She died in South Carolina, a respectable woman, at the age of eighty on April 22, 1782. She was buried on April 24, 1782.[10] According to Sherman Carmichael's Forgotten Tales of South Carolina, she is buried in the York County Churchyard in York County, Virginia.
Some claim that she was smuggled away by her father, and that this was made possible by his far reaching and favorable merchant connections. This is a probable solution to the mystery. After all, her father's business connections had saved Anne a number of times before. Rackham's crew spent a lot of time in Jamaica and the surrounding area. Although the crew, including Anne, was discovered or caught on a number of occasions, Bonny always escaped punishment and harm. This was probably because of her father's business contacts in Jamaica.

Why did Anne Bonny look like a man?
She probably only dressed like a man. It was bad luck for a woman to be on a pirate ship from what I understand and she probably wanted the other men to leave her alone. More than likely, she looked like a thin, feminine looking man.
Was Anne Bonny caught?
Anne Bonney and the crew she sailed with (including Captain John "Calico Jack" Racham, and crew mate Mary Reed) were caught by the English Navy in 1724. The crew was ambushed while the majority of the men were drunk. They fled under the deck and hid while Anne and Mary fought off the Naval crew above, but they were painfully outnumbered. The crew was arrested and many of the pirates were found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging. Anne Bonney bought herself some time because she was pregnant at the time of the trial, and it was decided that she would not be hanged until after she gave birth. Soon afterwards Anne and all records of her existence disappeared. It is assumed that she escaped from prison and was not hanged. She was caught at sea, but she escaped from prison.
