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.

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.
