- For a very long time things between them went smoothly. The wedding went without a fuss and the very next month she missed her period discovering that she was pregnant with Bob.
- Bob's real name was Nesta Robert Marley.
- In order to receive a better education she sent Bob to a boarding school in Kingston.
- Months, years even passed without a word from Bob which worried his mother. Therefore she went to look for him, only to find out he was not in school but living with random people.
- Captain Marley died not too long after that and she was left a widow and Nesta was left fatherless with a birthright of two pennies.
- Nesta was never a cry-cry child, he was always brave and stubborn.
- One of his closest playmates, Bunny Livingston, would later become Bunny Wailer of Bob Marley and the Wailers.
- She then moved to Kingston to work and live with her brother, leaving Bob behind.
Why did he only come to see her twice during her pregnancy? Was he already with another woman? Why did Captain Marley want to send Nesta away so badly? "Puppa, renowned through the district as a bush doctor and herbalist, had saved my first-born, Nesta Robert Marley, the only child I would ever bear for Captain." - Irony/Foreshadowing I think that Captain Marley died because of all the wrong he was doing. |
