At least some of what is posted on the first web site is questionable.
Quoting:
"... the fact that Christian and all but one of his fellow mutineers on
Pitcairn were murdered a few years later ''by their 'Otaheite servants,'
who had risen against them'' ... ."
I have never heard that story before. On the other hand, there seems to
be some evidence that Christian may have later returned to England under
an assumed identity. This comes, I believe, from some sorrespondence to
either Wordsworth or Coleridge. I do not have the reference in front of
me.

Wordsworth. Christian was a distant relative and went to school with
him. The letter in question was a rather curious one sent to some
publication in which Wordsworth seems to be denying meeting Christian
long after the mutiny.
Interesting side-note, there is a theory that Coleridge's "Rime of the
Ancient Mariner" was inspired by the mutiny on the Bounty.
