“The high consideration in which the Kaiakea family was formerly held throughout the group may be inferred from the connections it formed by its marriages. Kuikai as stated above married a daughter of Kalanipehu; his son Kanehoalani married Kaweloaaikanaka, daughter of Kawelo-peekoa of Kauai. His grandson Kukalanihooluae married Aialei, granddaughter of Ilikileele, of the Liloa-Hakau and Keawe-a-Umi branches of the Hawaii chiefs. Kaiakea himself married Kalani-poo-a-Peleioholani, a daughter of Kukuiaimakalani, who was a daughter of Kualii and own sister to Peleioholani, who died about 8 years before the discovery of the Hawaiian group by Captain Cook. Kaiakea’s son, the grandfather of the author’s wife, was a staunch and personal friend of Kamehameha I, who, referring to the unsettled state of the group, the treachery and anarchy prevailing at the time, remarked that “Kekuelike’s house was the only place he sleep with his malo off”, that is, that he could sleep undressed without fear of violence or treachery. It was to Kekuelike’s place at Kalamaula, Molokai, that the Maui royal family, including Kalola and Keopuolani, afterwards Kamehameha’s wife, fled for refuge after the disastrous battle of Iao in Wailkuku.”
* NOTE: Fornander is a trusted source for information on the Molokai chiefs in that he was married to the great-grandaughter of Kaiakea.
