Alexander P. Hussey was remarried September 17, 1862 to Makanoe Kaaikaula Kalei Kauwilaha, according to Hawaii Marriage Book 28, page 19. The marriage was also recorded in Hawaii Marriage Book 78, page 119. The groom was then shown as a resident of North Kohala, Hawaii.
The bride was of Hawaiian royalty, a daughter of Nihowehilani and Naweluokekikipaa, according to Beatrice Mileka Hussey Kailiponi. She was born in Kohala about 1838. At age five she was betrothed to the son of a Hawaiian king, but her father objected to the contracted marriage and sent her to the jungle in hiding under the care of an older brother. The brother built a temple for her in the jungle and surrounded it with a stone wall 15 feet high with only a narrow passageway for an entry. He stationed himself above the entryway and killed at least one of the king's soldiers who were searching for Makanoe by lassoing him and hanging him with the noose. Later Makanoe was placed in a school operated by the church mission for her protection. She remained in the school until Alexander P. Hussey made his proposal of marriage.
Alexander P. Hussey became a master carpenter in North Kohala District and died there April 9, 1896. He was buried at Nuilii, Hawaii on the northwestern extremity of the island. His wife died there also March 29, 1916.
