-There are accounts that Davis’ wife would dance and sing to entertain guests, and sometimes the family would put on skits and she would take a part.1213
-Ukuʻu or Oku’u Plague: Medical historians think it was cholera since ‘oku’u means to squat. Cholera is super-diarrhea which leads to dehydration and organ failure. It occurred in 1803-5 and took a good percentage of the population.1213

Notes for Isaac (Spouse 1)
-Who became a companion and trusted gunner, and advisor to King Kamehameha in his unification of the Hawaiian Islands. For his loyalty Davis was installed as an Ali’i class at Kailua-Kona by Kamehameha and his Kahuna Nui, and assigned as Kia’aina of O’ahu.1217,1213
-("Hueu", Inducted into Ali'i Kapu as the High Chief Hueu-o-Keaolani-Pohaialii by Kamehameha the Great)1204
-”Hu’euokealanipohaiali’i”, is the name of fire.1213
-One of Kamehameha the Great's famous English instructors.1210
-Advisor to Kamehameha I and helped form the Kingdom of Hawaii. He arrived in Hawaii in 1790 as the sole survivor of the massacre of the crew of The Fair American. He along with John Young became friends and advisors to Kamehameha. He brought western military knowledge to Hawaii and played a big role during Hawaii's first contacts with the European powers. He spent the rest of his life in Hawaiʻi.1355,1214
-He was a seaman on the American schooner Fair American, engaged with a larger companion ship, the Eleanora, in the maritime fur trade between the Pacific Northwest and China.
In 1790, the Eleanora was under the Captain Simon Metcalfe, when one of his skiffs was stolen by the chief Kaʻōpūiki at Honuaula on Maui. He punished the Hawaiians severely, killing more than 100 Hawaiians at Olowalu.
Metcalfe also once mistreated Kameʻeiamoku, a high chief on the island of Hawaii, and one of the sacred pio twins, by whipping him. The humiliated Kameʻeiamoku swore vengeance on the next ship to arrive. He attacked The Fair American at Kaʻūpūlehu, which was under the command of Metcalfe’s 18-year-old son, Thomas. Thomas and all of the Fair American’s crew were killed, except for Isaac Davis, the sole survivor of the attack, who was tied to a canoe and left nearly dead. It is said that Davis's life was spared because of his brave fighting.
In March 1790, Simon Metcalfe left his boatswain, John Young, ashore and sailed away from the Hawaiian Islands without knowing that his son had been killed. The Fair American was taken over by Kamehameha. Davis was nursed back to health by an American beachcomber named Isaac Ridler. Like his friend Young, Davis assisted Kamehameha in his dealings with foreigners and in wars of conquest.
Davis was given the Hawaiian name ʻAikake and was given the status of a high chief, marrying a relative of King Kamehameha I. He was appointed Governor of Oʻahu, and owned estates on Oʻahu, Maui, Molokaʻi, and the Big Island.
When Kaumualiʻi agreed to cede Kauaʻi to Kamehameha and become a vassal ruler, the chiefs became angry. A secret plan was made to kill the Kauaian king, while he was on Oahu. Isaac Davis, learning of the plot, warned Kaumualiʻi. Not waiting to attend the feast which was planned in his honor, he slipped away and sailed for Kauaʻi. The poison which was probably intended for Kaumualiʻi was given to Isaac Davis. Davis suddenly died in April 1810. He was buried in Honolulu, in the "The Cemetery for Foreigners". On his tombstone was placed the inscription:
"The remains of Isaac Davis who died on this Island, April, 1810 Aged 52 years "
However, the exact location of this cemetery is unknown.
Isaac Davis had been one of Kamehameha's closest friends advisor. His death was a great shock to Kamehameha and cast a dark shadow over the satisfaction which the King must have felt with the peaceful settlement with the king of Kauaʻi.1214
