Joshua Hill (Pitcairn Island leader)

1838 sketch of Joshua Hill

Joshua W. Hill (15 April 1773 – 1844?) was an American adventurer. In 1832 he arrived on Pitcairn Island, which was first inhabited in the 1790s by British mutineers from HMS Bounty and some Tahitians who joined them. At first, their descendants moved back to Tahiti, but after the death of the last mutineer, John Adams, they returned. Hill was elected president of the Pitcairn Islands.
