Christian, Parkin, Pitcairn Miscellany 13, Sept. 1971, pp.1-3. See also Australasian Record 75, Nov. 8, 1971, p.14. 

Parkin died in Auckland, NZ, and is buried in the Waikumete Cemetery there. "On 15th September news was received from New Zealand of the death, in his 88th year, of Parkin Christian. Having suffered indifferent health for the past few years Parkin departed (Pitcairn) for New Zealand for medical reasons in May 1970, accompanied by his granddaughter Marona and her husband Pervis and two children. During his lifetime Parkin was an active member of the community. When only 17 he was sailing as a crew member on French trading ships plying between Tahiti and neighboring islands. He also sailed aboard two locally owned sailing ships which traded between Pitcairn and Mangareva some 300 miles away in the French Gambier group early in the century. In 1933, Parkin discovered the rudder of H.M.S. Bounty in Bounty Bay, which was later recovered and after remaining on Pitcairn was finally sent to the museum in Suva, Fiji, for safe keeping, where it still remains. He served a term of office as Island Magistrate from 1956-1957. Parkin and his wife Rosa (dec'd) had three children, Marjorie (Deceased), one child died in infancy, and he is survived by Richard (now living in Australia) and many grandchildren - to all of whom we offer our condolences. Prayers were offered for the deceased in the Church on the Sabbath following his death."

From Roy Clark's diary: Parkin Christian, Man of the Sea: 

"The sea is in his blood, and its call has made of him a natural seaman with an uncanny intuition for predicting weather conditions and navigating among these islands. There is a confidence in Parkin's judgment greater than in the chart or compass, whatever the distance from land. Many the time have I seen him defy the written laws of navigation, and those who command our longboats have learned, sometimes through bitter experience, to heed his advice - even though it disagrees with chart and compass. Quite and unassuming, he tells of sea experiences of the past as he lounges with seeming indifference in the stern of the boat; but his eyes miss nothing of his surroundings. He sees the set of the sail and jib, the coloring of the sky, the shifting of the wind, the clouds above and out on the horizon, the pitch of the boat as it makes five or six knots in a good, steady wind or a barely perceptible headway in a light breeze. There have been a few times when the course for Oneo or Henderson was given by the captains of the boats as they left Bounty Bay, and steadily kept until the mileage for the island has been run; and yet land was not sighted and the boats have had to give up their search for it and return to Pitcairn. But this has not been so when Parkin was amongst the crew making the trip. I recall one of the many times I have sailed with Parkin to Oeno Island as proof of his intuitive judgment at sea. Someone of the crew calls out to the coxswain, 'How we heading', Charles?' The coxswain looks intently at his compass box and calls back, 'Northwest by north, and headin' right for land.' Parkin lifts his body from its reclining position and looks seaward - first to windward and then to lee of the boat. He scans the sea in all directions for a minute or two - looks up at the sails, and then again to the sea astern of the longboat. His decision has been made. He speaks, 'Wal now, I don't care what yawli tul (all of you say), and I ain't going by that no-use compass either; and believe me if you like, for land is homusa out ahead (not nearly). Yawli look where I'm pointin'. I'll bet land's there,' and he points a little to windward - his arm strong and steady, his eyes ablaze with certainty. Then he again settles down to his former position in the stern of the boat to doze off to sleep or continue his story telling. Two or three hours pass by, then the man on the lookout calls 'Land ahead!' The course has been changed according to the pointing of Parkin's finger. He rises unconcernedly from his uncomfortable resting place and sees the distant land. With pleased satisfaction he remarks, 'There, I told you so. If we only follow that good for nothing compass we would be dead as a hatchet.' (For some reason, on Pitcairn, a hatchet is considered a more likely comparison than a doornail.)"

From the Pitcairn Miscellany: "Gifford Christian died on March 4, 1981, aged 73 years. In his younger days he was a member of the Pitcairn Island Council and also a member of the School Board. He was a willing helper to anyone who asked for his help. He was good with his tools; his favourite hobby being the making of cabinet type boxes, such as book boxes. Very seldom did I ever see him without a smile on his face. During his last four years, I used to be his company at nights. When he was not working, he was reading his Bible. If Nurse was there on a visit, he would always have a Bible text to repeat for her. Never did I hear Gifford utter any indecencies and even during the time he was suffering from the effects of his stronke and consequent turns, he was never known to complain. -- Andrew Young."

Steven Raymond Christian was born on Pitcairn Island on June 26, 1951. He is the son of Ivan Roa Christian and Verna Carlene Deborah Young. He married Olive Jal Brown, daughter of Len Carlyle Brown and Thelma Adella Christian, on February 16, 1972, on Pitcairn Island. Steve was a mechanic and dentist in 1982 on Pitcairn, and since that time he has added a number of skills from which all of Pitcairn benefits. The Pitcairn telephone system was an old, wartime one, a party line, donated by New Zealand. The instructions indicated that no more than 12 phones could be hooked to one network, so on Pitcairn they set up two networks, one for the government and leaders, the other for the rest of the people. Steve thought that the instructions were full of baloney, and he rewired everyone into the same network, and it worked fine. He was coxswain on the launch the day of the arrival of the National Geographic's team at Pitcairn in 1983, and is pictured on page 511 of Howard: Pitcairn and Norfolk, National Geographic, October 1983.

Thomas Albert Christian was born on July 10, 1876, on Pitcairn Island. His father was Daniel Christian and his mother was Harriett Melissa McCoy. Thomas, in 1896 had the chance to sail on board the Seventh-day Adventist mission ship Pitcairn to various islands in the Pacific, and then to San Francisco. (See “The Pitcairn’s Fifth Voyage” under “Pitcairn and Pacific Union College, pitcairnstudycenter.org). He then traveled to Healdsburg College in Northern California to further his education. While in Northern California, Thomas met Mary Margaret Doughtery, who was born in South Dakota and whose father worked on a vineyard near LeMoore, California. Thomas and Mary traveled to Pitcairn Island, along with her aunt and uncle, and were married there on April 14, 1897, in the Seventh-day Adventist church on the island. The ceremony was performed by an official named McCoy, a descendant of the Bounty mutineer William McCoy. Thomas and Mary remained on Pitcairn for almost a year after the wedding. In 1898 they returned to California, to Los Angeles where Thomas became a member of the Los Angeles Police Department for several years. They had two children, Eva, who was born in 1899, and Eldon, who was born in 1903. Because of health reasons, Thomas and Mary returned to her family home in Lemoore, California. It was there that Thomas died, and was buried on May 28, 1908. The funeral was attended by an official of the Los Angeles Police Department. It was said that the police representative declared that if he had “100 officers like Thomas Christian, I would put them up against the world!” Thomas Albert Christian was the subject of the book, “John Tay, Messenger to Pitcairn,” by Sadie Owen Engen. This children’s story is told through the eyes of 10-year-old Thomas and a friend when lay missionary John Tay visited Pitcairn Island in 1886 on his mission to carry the Christian message of the Seventh-day Adventist faith to Pitcairn and other islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Clark, longtime postmaster of tiny Pitcairn Island in the South Pacific, died last May 10 at the age of 86, Pitcairn Log reports, quoting the island's monthly newspaper, Pitcairn Miscellany, to which Clark had been a regular contributor. Roy Clark was born far from Pitcairn. He was a native of San Francisco, who went to the island as a youth of 16 and in the following seven decades serviced his isolated community in many capacities. His father, Lincoln Clark, came to Pitcairn after being shipwrecked on nearby Ducie Island in 1881. Lincoln returned to San Francisco, but after the death of his wife went back to the island with his son. Roy Palmer Clark married Hyacinth May Coffin, daughter of Philip Coffin, a Nantucket sail-maker who had been shipwrecked at the same time as Lincoln Clark. Mrs. Clark died in 1974. For several years in the 1930s Roy Clark was the schoolmaster of Pitcairn Island. Throughout his adult life he held leadership positions in the island's Seventh-day Adventist Church. For 18 years he was the postmaster, corresponding with stamp collectors in many parts of the world. After Pitcairn issued its first stamps in 1940 he helped put together the booklets for the first issue which in recent years became priceless. Clark was never pictured on a stamp, but his house was -- on a 20-cent value of the 1968 Pitcairn definitives. It was included in the series as the oldest house on the island, once the home of Thursday October Christian, son of Fletcher Christian, who led the mutiny on the Bounty and brought the first permanent settlers to Pitcairn early in 1790."

Buffett was his best friend and mentor. Since Buffett had signed on the ship in Honolulu, Evans had attached himself to the well-traveled and intelligent older seaman. Now Buffett had chosen to leave. It was not until the Cyrus had left was it discovered that the young Evans had hidden himself in the hollow stump of a tree on the island. When discovered, it was decided to allow him to stay. He was reportedly a very tiny man, reports of his height range from 5' to 5'3" tall. His father was either a coach maker or a watchmaker in Longacre, England. He apparently had an above average education for a sailor.

Although he was a craftsman of considerable skill, Loeffler was not a popular man on Pitcairn. A correspondent in Tahiti asked Pitcairner Lincoln Clark, “How are you good people taking up with that man Loeffler? If you can get along with him it shows your goodness and kindness of heart, for if ever there was a mean, contemptible fellow, Loeffler is that man.” Clark responded, “Loeffler came here and [has] never done one good turn for any of the people. He growled at his food. He growled at his lodgings. He scoffed at our religion, never came to church, and died as he lived, a heathen. But he was a good cabinet maker. He instituted [instructed?] in the making of boxes. Some of the [Pitcairn] men said I could make ‘em same as Loeffler, but that was a story. We hollowed ours [boards] out of a sawed off block. He made his out of sawed strips. He had these small carpenter’s wood clamps. We had none, so did the best we could with the tools we had. Virgil Christian, who attended him in his last sickness, got his tools. So now we are helped out in box making. . . .”

Mauatua (?), Lareau, thePeerage.com 

Mauatua, (Maimiti, 'Mainmast,' Isabella). She was Fletcher Christian's consort. We do not know when Mauatua was born, but she claimed to remember Cook's first arrival in Tahiti (1769), so she must have been at least twenty-three or twenty-four when the Bounty arrived in 1788. There is no evidence that Christian had a serious attachment to her before the mutiny (in fact, it is unlikely), but she did follow him both to Tubuai and later to Pitcairn. When the loyalists and half of the mutineers had gone ashore on Tahiti on September 22, 1789, Christian left the island the same night. The reason was that Mauatua had found out about a plot among the Tahitians to overpower the nine mutineers and take over the ship (the plot may even have been incited by one or more loyalists, although Morrison does not mention anything about it). If she had not learned about the scheme, or had not told Christian, the Bounty story could have had a very different ending and Pitcairn might not be inhabited today. Mauatua bore Christian two sons, Thursday October and Charles, before he was murdered on Massacre Day, September 20, 1793, and one daughter, Mary Anne, born after his death. When Christian died, Mauatua became Edward Young's consort (actually she shared him with Toofaiti) and bore him three children: Edward, Polly, and Dorothea. Mauatua survived the disastrous attempt to migrate to Tahiti in 1831, but saw her first-born child, Thursday October, succumb to the diseases then rampant there to which the Pitcairners had no immunity. She herself died on Pitcairn ten years later (September 19, 1841) of an epidemic brought by a visiting ship. Of the original settlers on the Island, she was survived only by Teraura. In her later years, she was known affectionately as "Maimas," an abbreviation of Mainmast. (For the children of Mauatua and Fletcher Christian, see "Fletcher Christian").

She was 86. "Mary Ann was among the first wave of returnees from Norfolk Island in 1859. She was listed as the Pitcairn Church Recorder in 1887. 'She was the oldest woman living on Pitcairn in 1934. She was then living in a three-room house whose interior was scrupulously neat and clean. As she rose to greet me I realized that she was blind. Her blindness was provocative of an overwhelming tenderness. She moved with such care and gentle confidence, her aged and wrinkled face was brushed with so tender a smile, and her appearance of fragility was so poignant that I felt she was as delicate and precious as ancient porcelain. She was a short woman, shortened further by a stoop, with soft hands twisted by age. Her face was rather large, with prominent cheekbones and with a nose somewhat wide at the nostrils but saved from coarseness by a high curving bridge. Her forehead was heavy and had a pronounced slope, but the rugged character of the brow was softened by delicate white hair. I couldn't see her eyes, which were concealed by a pair of blue spectacles, but her voice and her smile of chastened patience compensated for the veiling of those features.'

McCoy, Matthew Edmond, Lareau, thePeerage.com

Brother M.E. McCoy, of Pitcairn Island, died of heart failure, Dec. 29, 1929, aged sixty-one years. When he was still a young man, Brother McCoy heard the call to spiritual surrender, and he, along with others on Pitcairn, began keeping the seventh-day Sabbath. Pitcairn was one of the first places reached by the Seventh-day Adventist message in the South Pacific; it was brought there by Brother John I. Tay, a self-supporting missionary. For more than twenty-seven years Brother McCoy was associated with church work. Active, earnest, and loyal-hearted, he devoted both energy and strength to church matters. As Sabbath school superintendent, choir master, church clerk, treasurer, tithe collector, and headmaster in the day school, he proved both reliable and efficient in his work. While helping to land a boat last November, McCoy fell and strained his heart. A doctor from one of the passing ships kindly visited him, and improvement resulted under medical advice. But influenza reached the island and after being consumed by the disease he died. He was born in1868. In the home, in the church and in the Pitcairn community he was an outstanding figure, and well known to all the captains who pass by the island in ships. He leaves a wife, a daughter, four grandchildren, and a large circle of relatives to sorrow over the loss of this one whose place cannot be filled. His loss to the little island community is irreparable. All who are acquainted with Pitcairn and its story will extend to Sister McCoy and these sorrowing ones deep, heartfelt sympathy. The dead "which die in the Lord" rest from their labors. Soon the dawning of the Heavenly life will come, and the Lifegiver will call His beloved to eternal activities. Brother McCoy requested that these two songs be sung at his funeral, "Lord, I'm Coming Home," and "Saved by Grace."

Down by the shore, where rolling waves
Murmur in requiem to the billow's crest.
We scooped a grave in conscious hope
And laid God's workman down to rest.
Where stately palms, with sunlight glories play,
Rest, brother, rest till break of day.

No need to waken now, life's work is done;
No need to toil, the resting is complete.
The Master tarries, wait a little while.
The morn of wakening will be sweet,
With tears and grief forever swept away,
And life on long eternal day.

McCoy, Rita, Australasian Record 29, May 11, 1925, p. 6 

"Died March 10, 1925, Rita McCoy of Pitcairn Island, aged twenty four years. The severe epidemic that passed over the island some months ago left behind many sad traces of its work. Rita suffered severely, and though she recovered to some degree, the after effect left a weakness that resulted in consumption, which proved fatal. She was a member of both church and Sabbath school, and she fell asleep in the blessed hope of soon sharing the life immortal. The parents have great sorrow. A father, a son, and now a daughter have all died within four years. Grief has cast its mantle over all on the island, but they sorrow not as those without hope. Rita was baptized after the last camp-meeting and she fell asleep in the confidence of a Saviour's love. She was laid away in the little cemetery where the roll of the great ocean and the sound of the wild winds hymn a ceaseless requiem. May God comfort the sorrowing! - R. Hare."

McCoy, William, Lareau, thePeerage.com 

William McCoy was born in 1763 at Ross-Shire, Scotland. He died on April 20, 1798, on Pitcairn Island. William McCoy and Teio (?) were associated circa 1789. He gained the rank of Able Seaman in the service of the Royal Navy, on board H.M.A.V. Bounty. Little is known of his early life, but he appears to have been an employee of a Scottish distillery at one point. McCoy was one of the last crewmen to sign on the Bounty. He and his friend, Quintal, enlisted together, and that may well have been a black day for the future of the ship. Quintal was truly the brutal bully, and McCoy was the provider of spirits. His record on the Bounty was less controversial than most. The only incident in which he was involved may well give a better picture of this man. Bligh, in one of his frequent attacks of vocal frustration, was furiously upbraiding the whole crew for a number of failings. Suddenly he pointed a pistol to the head of McCoy and threatened to shoot him for not paying attention. Apparently even his involvement in the mutiny was peripheral, although there is no question of his willingness to throw his lot in with Christian. It was in 1796 that McCoy used the skills he learned as a youngster, and it was that contribution which, as much as anything, led to the early troubles of the Pitcairn colony. He was the first to distill liquor on Pitcairn, making it from the sweet syrup of the ti tree root. It was this skill that killed him, for in a fit of delirium tremens, he lept to his death from a cliff in 1798. According to Bligh, he was 5'6" tall, fair complexion, light brown hair with a heavy beard, strong-made, a scar where he had been stabbed in the belly, and a small scar under his chin. He was heavily tattooed all over his body. (For the children of William McCoy and Teio (?), see "Teio (?)").

Micheli, Rita, Jon Hamilton, Melva Evans 

Rita Micheli was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and was the wife of Vincent Micheli, a trading ship captain who sailed among many of the South Seas islands out of Tahiti. He was also a black pearl buyer from the island of Mangareva in the Gambier Islands. Rita sometimes sailed with her husband on his ship, the Nautilus. Vincent was always helpful and trustful of the Pitcairn people, providing food and other necessities to them, whether or not they could pay for them immediately. He would let the Pitcairners know that they could pay when his ship called at the Island the next time. In August of 1887, Rita accompanied Vincent on another of his trading voyages, and when the Nautilus called at Pitcairn on September 4, 1887, she and two other women, who were passengers on the ship, went ashore to live on the Island for some time. It is thought that Rita was ill at the time, and that Vincent sent her ashore in the hope that the women of Pitcairn might help her to full recover of her health. However, on October 11, 1887, Rita Micheli died, and was buried in the Island cemetery that is located high above the often monster Pacific Ocean waves that crash onto the Island. At the time of her death, Rita Micheli was 23 years old. 

Mills, Elizabeth, thePeerage.com 

Elizabeth Mills was born in 1792 on Pitcairn Island. She was the daughter of John Mills and Vahineatua (?). She married, first, Matthew Quintal, son of Matthew Quintal and Tevarua (?), in 1811 on Pitcairn Island. She then married William Young, son of Edward Young and Toofaiti (?), in 1823, on Pitcairn Island. She died on November 6, 1883, on Pitcairn Island. Elizabeth Mills also went by the nick-name of Betsy. In 1800 she witnessed the murder of Matt Quintal by John Adams and Ned Young. From 1811, her married name became Quintal. From 1823, her married name became Young. She immigrated to Pitcairn Island arriving in 1864 from Norfolk Island.

John Mills was born on April 21, 1749, in Carnie by Huntly, Scotland. He was baptized on April 29, 1749. He died on September 20, 1793, at age 44 on Pitcairn Island. Mills gained the rank of Gunner's Mate in the service of the Royal Navy, on board H.M.A.V. Bounty. He and Vahineatua (?) were associated circa 1789 at Pitcairn Island. He was the oldest of the Bounty mutineers. His early history suggests a sadistic bully-boy. On H.M.S. Mediator, he was known to send midshipmen on fools' errands in order to steal their food. Mills was indeed a mystery. His record on board the Bounty was exemplary. The only log record against him records his refusal to dance, which cost him his ration of grog. He was apparently a guard to the party that arrested Bligh during the mutiny. His daughter indicated that he was the Pitcairner who most grieved at the destruction of the Bounty, which had been their home for so long. Until that time, and even up to his death, he never quite gave up the hope that he would someday return to England, even if it had to be at the risk of his own life. Mills, of all the mutineers, can be said to have made a fatal, and perhaps very wrong, choice, a choice he lived to regret. His short life on Pitcairn, however, was well above average. He was truly surprised when attacked by the Tahitian men, as he felt he had a good relationship with them. The children of John Mills and Vahineatua (?) were Elizabeth Mills, who was born in 1792, and died November 6, 1883; and John Mills, who was born in 1793, and died in 1814.

George Hunn Nobbs

George Hunn Nobbs was born October 16, 1799, at Moira, Northern Ireland. On October 18, 1829, on Pitcairn Island he married Sarah Christian, who had been born on Pitcairn Island in 1810. Her parents were Charles Christian and Sarah. The children of George and Sarah were Reuben Elias Nobbs, born on Pitcairn on September 19, 1830, and died March 2, 1855, on Pitcairn Island; Esther Maria Nobbs, Fletcher Christian Nobbs, Francis Mason Nobbs, Jane Agnes Nobbs, Ann Naomi Nobbs, James Wingate Johnstone Nobbs, George Edwin Coffin Nobbs, who was born on Pitcairn Island on May 5, 1843, and died on September 5, 1864, on Santa Cruz Island; Jemima Sarah Nobbs, Alfred Augustine Nobbs, Sydney Rawdon Nobbs, and Alice Henrietta Florence Nobbs. George Hunn Nobbs was the unacknowledged son of Francis Rawdon, Marquis of Hastings, and Jemima French, daughter of an Irish baronet, who, becoming involved in the Irish revolution, was forced to leave his country. On his mother's deathbed, she extracted from George a solemn promise never to accept any favor at the hands of his father's family. Moreover, she was very anxious that he leave England and take up residence in some other part of the world where 'her wrongs and mine might be buried in oblivion.' His mother and grandmother, suffering a serious reduction in circumstances, sent him to Yarmouth into the care of an elderly family named Nobbs, whose name they forced him to assume. She had arranged with Admiral Murray, commanding in North Yarmouth, to put him aboard a Royal Navy ship, and in 1812, he was placed aboard the 'Roebuck,' then to other ships. After his service to the Royal Navy, which led him to Valparaiso, he appears to have embarked on a career as a soldier of fortune, serving in both the Argentinian and Chilean navies. In 1822, he was serving on a Neapolitan vessel, and the next year found him in Sierra Leone, where he was commanding a ship named the Gambia. By 1826, he was in Calcutta. His adventures were harrowing, according to his own narrative, and he apparently survived shipwreck, capture by the enemy, and the deaths of many of his shipmates. He described his early life as 'filled with enough incidents to enliven three Hentys and four Rider Haggards' (adventure writers of his day). On November 5, 1828, Nobbs arrived on Pitcairn, at age 28, accompanied by a mysterious American shipmate, ' 'Captain' Noah Bunker. They came from Callao in an 18-ton cutter after a six- week voyage. Nobbs was never very explicit about the circumstances, but it appears that Nobbs entered into an agreement with Bunker wherein Nobbs would supply the money with which to outfit Bunker's boat, and they agreed to make the 3,500-mile trip to Pitcairn together. Later investigation seems to indicate that the title to the cutter was more than a little in question. Although not popular with the islanders immediately after his arrival, Nobbs seems to have impressed them with an advanced level of devoutness. His religiosity, according to his critics, seems to have had little precedent in his life before his arrival! Further, his increasing religious leadership was undermining the power of Buffett, the schoolteacher. When, upon Adams death in 1829, Nobbs established a separate school, Buffett quit teaching in disgust. The period from 1829-1832 seems to have witnessed a growing division between followers of the impudent and increasingly devout Nobbs and the practical, strong-willed Buffett. The arrival of Joshua Hill in 1832 marked the beginning of a very trying period in the lives of Nobbs, Buffett, and Evans. Realizing that these three would be the most threatening to his plans and beliefs, Hill singled them out for special humiliation and punishment. The 'quiet, devout' Pastor Nobbs was not considered by the bombastic preacher, Hill, to be a serious challenge, and he soon replaced him as Pastor. The ill-treatment that the three endured reached a climax when they were forced to leave the island in March of 1834, on board the Tuscan. They were carried to Tahiti, where Nobbs appears to have traveled to Mangareva to serve there as a missionary. He was later reunited with his family, and they later ended up in the Gambier Islands with Evans and his family. They were not able to return to Pitcairn until after Hill's forced departure in 1837. Ironically, it was pressure by his 'quiet, devout' rival that forced the English government to remove Hill. Nobbs returned as Pastor, fully consolidating his position vis-à-vis Buffett, who concentrated on his teaching and woodworking until his later call to religious leadership on Norfolk. He was the first islander to be formally trained in the ministry. He sailed to England with Moresby in 1852, to attend seminary. Within two months, he had qualified for ordination as deacon and priest, and was commissioned by the Bishop of London as 'Chaplain of Pitcairn Island.' After being entertained by many notables, he was received by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Loaded down with portraits of the Royal Family and a per annum of 50 pounds from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, he returned to Pitcairn in triumph in 1853. He was a Clergyman.

In 1847, he survived a serious injury, although he was from that point lame in one leg. He, in company with several others, went goat hunting. He fell, and his gun discharged into his right hip. After long months wherein little improvement took place, a surgeon from a passing ship extracted much wadding which had been embedded in the wound. After that, recovery was rapid, but his lameness prevented his participation in the work of the island. In 1849, he traveled to Valparaiso (Chile) where he took employment as a clerk. His health declined, and he became very ill with consumption, so he returned to his homeland. Kind hands carried him from the landing to his home when he returned, for he was universally beloved.

Quintal, Matthew, Lareau, thePeerage.com 

Matthew Quintal was born on March 3, 1766 at Padstow, Cornwall, England. He died in 1799 on Pitcairn. Matthew Quintal gained the rank of Able Seaman in the service of the Royal Navy, on board HMAV Bounty. He and Tevarua (?) were associated circa 1789 on Pitcairn Island. He and Teraura (?) were associated on Pitcairn Island. Matthew's mother died when he was young, and he lived with an uncle for two years. After two years at Plymouth with his father, he shipped aboard the sloop-of-war HMS Nymphas as servant to his uncle, a gunner. After his uncle's death, he was appointed servant to the Captain of a man-o-war, serving three years. There is no question that he was one of the most violent of the crew members and Pitcairn residents. He had a permanent attachment to Tahiti, and had no particular interest in returning to England. Although it is interesting to note that he, more than any other Pitcairn mutineer, not only named his consort after his mother, but each of his children is named for a member of his family. Not the act of a man with no feelings for family. On March 10, 1788, Quintal became the first person on board the Bounty to feel the lash. Upon complaint to Bligh by Fryer, he was given two dozen lashes for insolence and mutinous behavior. He was the first crewman approached by Christian concerning the mutiny. Initially he was frightened of the possible consequences, but after Martin overheard and agreed, he became an ardent supporter of Christian. After the Pitcairn landing, he favored destroying the Bounty, and, while the others discussed it, he went below and set the ship on fire. Like McCoy, who appears to have been a friend of his prior to his time on the Bounty, the introduction of liquor on Pitcairn affected him badly. As an instance of his ferocious nature, the story is handed down that one day his wife went fishing, and not succeeding in catching enough to satisfy Quintal, he flew into a rage abusing her unendingly, and finally bit off her ear. In 1799, in a drunken rage, he threatened to kill all of Christian's children unless he could take Isabella, his widow, as a wife. Adams and Young refused his demand, and realized that their lives and the lives of many others were in danger, and decided that something had to be done. They invited him to Adams' house, at which time he was set upon and overpowered by the two men. By means of a hatchet, the dreadful work of his execution was soon completed. The dreadful scene was eye-witnessed by nine-year-old Elizabeth Mills. The children of Matthew Quintal and Tevarua (?) were Matthew Quintal, born 1791, and died in September 1814; John Quintal, born 1792, and died in 1792; Jane Quintal, born 1795; Arthur Quintal, born May 6, 1795, and died November 19, 1873; and Sarah Quintal, born in 1797, and died November 27, 1851. The child of Matthew Quintal and Teraura (?) was Edward Quintal, born in 1800, and died September 8, 1841.

Quintal, Matthew, thePeerage.com 

Matthew Quintal was born in 1791 on Pitcairn Island. He was the son of Matthew Quintal and Tevarua (?). He married Elizabeth Mills, daughter of John Mills and Vahineatua (?), in 1811 on Pitcairn Island. He died in September 1814 on Pitcairn Island. As a child, it was he who found a clasp knife on the island. There had been two ships that stood by the island with crews coming ashore to pick coconuts. The crews were unaware of the island inhabitants. This was a year or so after Captain Mayhew Folger's visit in 1808. "On a day in September of 1814, most of the young men of the village went out in their canoes to fish. They were mostly within speaking distance of one another, but Matt was not seen tending his canoe, and the others thought he was lying down in it. It was afterwards discovered that the canoe was, and had been for no one knew how long, floating around without an occupant. He had apparently fallen overboard, making no sound, and his body had sunk and was never seen again." The children of Matthew and Elizabeth were John Quintal, born in 1812, and died November 14, 1838; and Matthew Quintal, born in 1814, and died December 8, 1865.

Ross, Agnes, (source?)

Something of a Pitcairn mystery woman, Agnes Ross, who sometimes went by the name “Ardie,” was a young woman when she arrived on the Island at an unknown date. To older folk on Pitcairn, Agnes was “Glenny.” A British subject, she in some unknown way was able to gain permanent residence on Pitcairn, and to obtain funds necessary to build a two-story home, which during a storm had its top floor completely blown away. It appears that a some point during Agnes’ Pitcairn residence, her sister, Harriet Ross, joined her. Writing in behalf of Agnes’ need for support, Dan Fitch, who has been a crew member of the Seventh-day Adventist missionary ship Pitcairn, wrote to friends: “The need that Agnes has is not so great from a spiritual standpoint, but financially and mentally it is quite great. Pray about it and let the Holy Spirit lead you. Try to place yourself in such a situation as Agnes now finds herself. Cut off entirely from all near of kin. You may feel as I so often do – disheartened – but the best cure I have found for such is to try to pass cheer on to some one who may be less blessed than I am.” It appears that Agnes returned to New Zealand from Pitcairn in 1963 on the ship Gothic.

Warren, Emeline, Australasian Record 39, Oct. 28, 1935, p. 7 

"WARREN -- On Pitcairn Island, Sister Emeline Warren, age 35, passed quietly away in the sleep of death on July 20. The cause of her death is not known, but it is attributed to a severe accident which befell this dear sister several years ago whilst grinding sugar cane. She leaves her husband and four children, and her mother, father, and brothers to mourn their loss. Sister Emeline was of a kindly disposition and was beloved by all. When we visited her a few days before her death she spoke in a way that showed she was ready to die, and that all her sins were confessed and forgiven. We trust to see her in the home over there. - Roy P. Clark."

This account about Edwin from Volkmar of Germany, a FRIENDSofPITCAIRN member: "When I visited Pitcairn in January 2004, we stopped for two days in Rikitea on Mangareva to negotiate with the Tahitian authorities the final departure procedures of the motor catamaran Bounty Bay. In Rikitea we met Yves Scanzi, a very kind and German-speaking former French Foreign Legionnaire who lives on the island. He helped us as a tour guide. With his pick-up truck we discovered the most interesting sites of his island. During our short stay we met the grandniece of the famous Bounty trilogy co-author Charles Nordhoff. This amazing, nice lady is living in Rikitea and is working there as a school teacher. We also met Erwin Warren too. He is living with his wife and children in a very simple bungalow under trees in a little forest on the outskirts of Rikitea. The Mangarevian described Erwin as an 'outsider.' He has not been actively integrated into the common social life of this island. When we spoke to Erwin (I remember that Erwin could not speak and understand English, that's why we communicated through an interpreter, Yves), Erwin told us that he is descended from the Bounty mutineers. Some years ago he had to leave Pitcairn for private reasons and later, because of financial problems, he could not pay the charges for a ship passage to return. So he was 'stranded' and settled on Mangareva. With his agreement, we made a video message for his relatives on Pitcairn to transmit his personal greetings addressed to 'my family on Pitcairn.' Shortly after our landing on Pitcairn we presented Erwin's video message to the Pitcairners, but unfortunately there was no Pitcairn family who felt 'responsible' to receive the message. Yes, Erwin looks, with his long, grey-haired plait, like the 'living copy' of the Bounty mutineer John Adams as depicted in two portraits in the French Pitcairn book."
