Talk:Fletcher Christian

message: Six Pitcairn men guilty of rape doesn't speak to highly of Christian's descendants, but it's something worth watching because of the jurisdiction issue. Sort of ties back into the Bounty as well.
Indeed so.  Most reputable histories (as opposed to popular fiction) of the mutiny indicate that the mutineers were not generally very nice people.  I've added text to the article which discusses the early Pitcairn history.
Would it be appropriate to create and internal link to St Bees School where Fletcher Christian was educated?

message: There is a history channel documentary that says Pitcairn Island was run into in 1808 by the US Topaz a seal hunting ship captained by Mayhew Folger that discovered what happened to the mutainers. With the only male survior of the Bounty being the mutiner Alexander Smith. This is in direct odds with what's being presented in the article.

thread_title: Ancestors of Fletcher Christian

message: Combining information from two sources (thepeerage.com and Betham's Baronetage of England) it appears that Fletcher Christian, and therefore probably the whole population of Pitcairn Island, is a descendant of Richard Neville, the 16th Earl of Warwick, as well as Henry Clifford, 10th Baron de Clifford. The latter descent is fully traced in the peerage.com entry; for the descent from Warwick, the peerage.com traces the descent as follows:
Fletcher Christian, son of Charles Christian, son of Bridget (Senhouse) Christian, daughter of Eleanor (Kirby) Christian, daughter of William Kirby, son of Agnes (Lowther) Kirby, daughter of Agnes (Fleming) Lowther, daughter of William Fleming, son of Joan (Huddlestone) Fleming, daughter of Margaret (Neville) Huddlestone.
The peerage.com entry ends with Margaret Neville. However, the Baronetage of England source includes the following lines:
"Sir Richard Huddlestone, Knt, who married Margaret, daughter of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick"
And in the entry for the above Richard's son: "He had two sisters... the two sisters were married, Johan to Hugh Fleming, of Rydal, Esq"
Since it appears Richard Neville only had two legitimate daughters, neither of whom was a Margaret, I would assume she was a natural daughter by an unknown mistress.
