THE REAL HISTORY OF HAWAII by BRIEN FOERSTER ON JANE LAHILAHI

 

Thanks to Google Books, I'm able to EXCERPT from this book by Brien Foerster:

It was proposed in 1832 that Kamanele, the Governor of John Adams Kuakini, would be the most suitable in age, rank, and education for his Queen. Kamanele died in 1834 before the wedding take place. Instead, Kamehameha III chose to marry Chiefess Kalama Hakaleleponi Kapakuhaili, of no relation. Kalama's father was a harbor pilot Naihekukui, giving her a much lower ranking family background. After his sister's death in late 1836, he married Kalama February 4, 1837, in a Christian ceremony, Kamehameha and Kalama had two children. ... Both died as infants. He and his mistress, Jane Lahilahi, a daughter of his father's advisor John Young, had twin illegitimate sons; Keoua who died young, and Albert Kanulakea, who lived to adulthood (1853-1902).
