Their plantation raids resulted in the First Maroon War. The two main Maroon groups in the 18th century were the Leeward and the Windward tribes, the former led by Cudjoe in Trelawny Town and the latter led by his sister Queen Nanny (and later by Quao).[1] Queen Nanny, also known as Granny Nanny (died 1733) is the only female listed among Jamaica's National Heroes, and has been immortalised in songs and legends. She was known for her exceptional leadership skills, especially in guerrilla warfare, which were particularly important in the First Maroon War in the early 18th century. Her remains are reputedly buried at " Bump Grave" in Moore Town, the main town of the Windward Maroons who are concentrated in and around the Rio Grande valley in the northeastern parish of Portland.

What is a Jamaica Maroon?
Maroons are descendants of escaped slaves who lived in the remote regions of the island as free men. They are divided in Jamaica into two groups, The John Crow Maroon on the Eastern part of the island and the Windward Maroons on the western side. Several wars were fought between Maroons and the British in the 1700's resulting in their liberty being recognised by the British throne. Nanny, a national hero of Jamaica, was a maroon of Ashanti African heritage during these wars. Maroons are still an important part of Jamaica, their two main towns are Maroon town in the John Crow Mountains and Accomponang near the town of Maggoty in the western part of the islands. Many maroons today are part of the JDF because of their military traditions passed down for more than 300 years
