Nanny of the Maroons, a prominent leader of the Jamaican Maroons, likely died around 1750. The precise details of her death remain uncertain, as much of her life is shrouded in mystery and primarily preserved through oral history and folklore. Some accounts suggest she lived into old age and died of natural causes, with her remains believed to be buried at "Bump Grave" in Moore Town. There are contradictory reports, including an early claim that a man named Captain William Cuffee (Captain Sambo) killed her in 1733 during conflict, but historical evidence suggests she continued to lead after that time, making it unlikely she died then. Nanny's legacy remains strong as a symbol of resistance and power in Jamaican history.
