Should this article refer to John Wilson?

Apparently there is significant evidence that a convict called John Wilson lived with indigenous people and crossed the Blue Mountains between 1792 and 1797. I'm wondering if this article would have better context if these claims were referred to. There are probably more scholarly references than the two below, but these were easily found.
