Who was Thursday October Christian I?
Thursday October Christian was the first son of Fletcher Christian and his Tahitian wife Mauatua. He was conceived on Tahiti, and was the first child born on the Pitcairn Islands after the mutineers took refuge on the island. Born on a Thursday in October, he was given his unusual name because Fletcher Christian wanted his son to have "no name that will remind me of England."
Thursday married into his parents' generation. At age 16 he married Teraura, who had been Ned Young’s original consort, and was past 30 then. The ceremony was carried out with a ring that had belonged to Ned Young.
