Edward was born in Swansea,Wales, toBernard KenwayandLinette Hopkins; at the age of ten, his family relocated to a farm inBristol, in South West England. However, the pastoral life did not agree with Edward and he became a well-known troublemaker in his adolescence.[3]

At the age of seventeen, Edward metCaroline Scott, a woman two years his senior who intervened on his behalf during an altercation outside a tavern. They were married within a year, and Caroline became pregnant with a daughter, Jennifer Scott, unbeknownst to Edward.

Their marriage soon proved problematic as Caroline grew tired of Edward's inability to find steady work or take his responsibilities as a husband seriously. Ultimately, Edward's grandiose ideas about sailing as a privateer in the West Indies led to their estrangement, and she left to live with her parents prior to his departure. It was at this time that Caroline learned of her pregnancy, but chose to keep the fact from Edward.[4]

Life as a privateer and pirate

Determined to prove his worth, Edward pursued his dreams of being a privateer; in late 1712, he boarded a ship chartered forJamaicawith the intention of sailing under the renowned privateer,Benjamin Hornigold. He remained in Jamaica for six months until theTreaty of Utrechtin early 1713, which effectively ended all conflict between the major empires. As a result, British privateers were no longer needed or tolerated in the West Indies, causing Edward to find himself out of work. He subsequently took to piracy and began working aboard aschooner.

In early 1715, Edward's ship attacked a passing vessel which proved to be too much for the crew to handle. With their Captain dead, Edward took the helm and did his best to keep the ship afloat, but to no avail. Shipwrecked inCape Bonavista, Edward met the only other survivor - an Assassin namedDuncan Walpole whose ship the pirates had attacked.
