Not sure how to proceed with a profile for Musquito/Mosquito - an indigeneous Australian [closed]

Question

Hi folks - by chance I tripped over some interesting details for a native warrior of Port Jackson who was convicted in Sydney in 1805 for raiding the settlement (captured & turned in by other natives who were released from custody to do so), transported to Norfolk Island as a convict on the "Buffalo" in Sep 1805. Having served his sentence it seems he worked on Norfolk Island until the Phase 1 Convict settlement was shut down.

He was taken to Port Dalrymple in Van Diemens Land with many of the Norfolk Islanders on the "Minstrel" in early 1813. At some point he "went bush" with the local natives & was convicted of murder in Dec 1824/Jan 1825 and hanged in Hobart Town.

I haven't found the date sentence was carried out yet.

 A number of references to him in the sources (with a variety of exotic spellings), but no idea of his true name or even an approximate age.

Any suggestions on how best to proceed?

Answer 1

On researching, I found he has an extremely basic project protected profile already as well as an Australian Dictionary of Biography entry. [Cammeraygal-1|Musquito Cammeraygal]

There is a good piece of research by Naomi Parry "Hanging no good for blackfellow: Looking into the life of Musquito" which I found through Trove.
