	Bellamy and his friend [[Paulsgrave Williams]] soon rose through the pirate hierarchy, double-crossing fellow pirate [[Henry Jennings]], and taking his bounty and crew. Afterwards, Bellamy and Williams caught up with the pirate [[Benjamin Hornigold]] west of [[Cuba]], intending to join his fleet by exploiting the hostility between Hornigold and Jennings to remain safe. Having made an impression on Hornigold, Bellamy was given command of the newly captured ''[[Marianne (ship)\|Marianne]]'', creating a highly successful crew.<ref name="Pirates" />		Bellamy and his friend [[Paulsgrave Williams]] soon rose through the pirate hierarchy, double-crossing fellow pirate [[Henry Jennings]], and taking his bounty and crew.
