As someone very much of the "love 'em and leave 'em" mentality, John Melrose fathered many, many children, a disproportionately large number of those being girls that grew up to become pirates themselves. The were called the Pirate Queens, and a few lines of them exist today. They were the exception to the rule that girls were good for nothing aboard a ship, and helped bring about the acceptance of women in a more active role aboard pirate ships.
At the turn of the first century, they all fought each other to see who was the true heir of John Melrose. Results were not terribly conclusive. Every daughter that survived declared herself the winner.
