Bonney and Read are among the most famous female pirates in history. There is little to suggest that they had a blood relationship under law; however, it appears that they had close emotional ties. There is not a lot of accurate history about femal pirates; the job was usually reserved for males. they were definitely not related because they had different family
Yes :)
Mary Read was captured by Captain Jack Rackham, also known as Calico Jack, along with Anne Bonny in 1720. They were both part of Rackham's crew, and Mary Read and Anne Bonny were known for their skill and courage as female pirates.
Some of the most well known pirates of this era were Edward Teach (Blackbear), Edward England, Stede Bonnet, Calico Jack Rackham, Bartholomew Roberts, and Mary Read and Anne Bonney. Of course, there were thousands of others, but these are some of the most prolific and famous.

Anne Bonney was caught first by her 2nd husband when she was found to be with child the first time and put ashore with friends to recover after birth before rejoining. She, her husband "Calico" Jack Rackham, Mary Read, and another crewman were captured when their vessel was seized from after they went into the privateering buisness. Their ship was captured by pirate hunter Captain Jonathan Barnet. She was later jailed but not hanged (like her husband) due to the fact she was pregnant again. Mary also survived the noose being with child... "Rackham and his crew were arrested and brought to trial in what is now known as Spanish Town, Jamaica, where they were sentenced to hang for acts of piracy, as were Read and Bonny. However, the women escaped the noose when they revealed they were both "quick with child" (known as "Pleading the belly"), so they received a temporary stay of execution. Read was believed to have been pregnant by the artist, whom she considered her legal husband before God. Bonny was believed to have been pregnant by Rackham (who was not her legal husband). Read died in prison in April 1721, but there is no record of burial of her baby. Official documents state that Read died of fever associated with childbirth. Bonny disappeared from the historical record, presumed to have lived a long life in Colonial America." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Read
