Lot 216
Fletcher Christian – leader of the mutineers on HMS Bounty and founder of Pitcairn Island manuscript document signed by John Christian and Ann Christian^ the mother of Fletcher Christian^ dated 1776^ being an obligation bond in the sum of £800 [say £50^000 in today’s money]. An important and exceedingly rare document in the life of Fletcher Christian^ who led the famous mutiny on the Bounty and who took his fellow mutineers to Pitcairn Island where they remained – and where their descendants still live today. Fletcher’s father^ a barrister^ had died in 1768 when Fletcher was only four. His mother^ Ann^ was profligate with money^ and this document bears testimony to the huge loans she took on^ leading to debts in excess of £6^500 [equivalent to about £700^000 in today’s money] by 1779 – just three years after this document was drawn up. The family home – listed on this document – at Moorland Close^ Eaglesfield^ near Cockermouth in Cumbria^ was lost and Ann^ together with her three children^ fled to the Isle of Man where English Creditors had no power – from the evidence of this document^ Ann’s creditors included members of her own family. At the time of this document^ Fletcher Christian was 12 years old^ and was attending Cockermouth Free School^ where one of his school mates was the poet William Wordsworth. The family debts and forced impoverished lifestyle doubtless had a crucial effect of Fletcher’s decision to go to sea – with his ultimate encounter with the fate which has made his name famous throughout history. A rare document.
