is Dora Hawkins killed with his family?

I believe the whole group died, some due to the gunpowder explosion.

In the book she and the other women and wounded men were left on the island with no food or supplies

More than likely, some of the thieves made a clean getaway. They were more familiar with the lay of the land and would know where to hide to elude capture.

In the book from an early script it took place on an island. The movie placed it at cave in rock which was a real historical river pirate hide out.

So in the book some of the male robbers got away but the wounded men and women were trapped on the island

We don't really know that they did execute anyone after the explosion. What we see in the American version is a fade out right after the powder explosion. If she did survive the blast, I think she could have possibly fled.
