Wife of Blackbeard

Mary Ormond (born c. 1702, died c. 1759) was the wife of the notorious English pirate Blackbeard.

She was notable for her marriage to Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard. She was married by Royal Governor Charles Eden in Bath, North Carolina, at about the age of sixteen years. The wedding was attended by Tobias Knight, the Royal Secretary for North Carolina, who was Teach's neighbor. She was the daughter of William Ormond, a plantation owner from Bath in Somerset. Her ultimate fate is undocumented.
