The Prince Lono-Honua-Kini wed the High chieftess Kauana-Kinilani of Hana and had four children. The eldest was the Prince Kaulahea ll, later monarch of Maui. Next was the Prince Lono-Maka-Honua, followed by the Princess Kalani-Mai-Heula and the princess Kuhala. Before we continue the long and involved story of these four children of Lono-Honua-Kini. we shall trace the descent of the Prince Kiha of Maui and his second consort of rank, the High chieftess Koleamoku. We do this so that we have done with the collateral relatives of the reigning family of Maui prior to discussing those monarchs and princes of Maui who lived in the era of recorded history. Prince Kiha of Maui and the High chieftess Koleamoka of Waimea had one son, the High chief Kekauhi-o-Kalani. Many island families descended from this chieftain. King Kiha-a-Pi'ilani of Maui and the Chieftess Koleamoku of Waimea had one son, the High Chief Kekauhi-o-Kalani, who had two children of his own. From the eldest descended the Chieftain Kaha Kaulia, from the younger came the Chieftess Koleamoku ll. These two in turn were married and had a son and a daughter, Kameailihiwa and Wiwiokalani. Great length has gone to trace the descent of many Hawai'i's best known families who descended fro the union of the Prince Kiha of Maui and one of his concorts, the chieftess Koleamoku. We have also traced the legitimate ruling dynasty of Kina and his queen, Kumaka, through the four geeations of Kamalalawalu. Kauhi-a-Kama. Kalani-Kaumakao-Wakea and Lono-Honua-Kini, all monarchs of Maui. Lono-Honua-Kini and his queen, the High chieftess Kaumakinilani had four children. The eldest was the Prince Kaulahea ll, later king of Maui. He had one brother, Lono-Maka-Honua, and two sisters, the Princess Kalani-Maiheuila and Kuhala. The Prince Lono-Maka-Honua married the chieftess Kapoohiwi of Kalae, Moloka'i and had a son, the High Chief Kauakahiakua-o-Lono. This royal chieftain by his first wife, the Princess Kekuiapoiwa the Great of Maui was the father of the Princess Kekelaokalani who married the Prince Haae-a-Mahi of Hawai'i and had the Princess Kekuiapoiwa ll, mother of the great Kamehameha. The Princess Kelelaokalani had a second husband who was the sacred High Chief of the House of Keawa, Kamanawa the Great. They were the parents of the Princess Peleuli who married Kamahameha the Great and had the Prince Kahoanoku-Kinau, the Prince Kaikoolani and the Princess Kaleikiliwehi. The High Chief Kauakahia-Kua-o-Lono for his second wife of rank married the High Chieftess Umiaemoku [ also called Umiaenaku ] of the nobel Hawai'i House of the Maui. They had one daughter, the Princess Kanekapolei, who was the favored queen of Kalaniopuu, King of Hawai'i during the arrival and visit of Capt. James Cook. The children of Kanekapolei an the King of Hawai'i, Kalaniopuu, were the first tragic Sovereign Prince of Hilo. Keoua-Kuahuula, and second the Prince Pauli-Kaoleioku ancestor of the Most Excellent Ruth Keelikolani and her cousin, the Honorable Bernice Pauahi Bishop. The Princess Ruth Keelikolani while not the epitome of grace and loveliness in the modern sense, was truly one of Hawai'i's great aristocrats. Her great mansion stood for many years on Emma Street on the site which was occupied by the Central Grammer school. It was she who inherited by order of the Hawaiian courts the vast lands of the Kamehameha family. These lands now make up the majority of the Bishop Estate. The youngest daughter of Lono-Honua-Kini, King of Maui, was the Princess Kuhala. She was the great-gandmother of the High Chief Kalahuimoku ll, Titular chieftain of Hana and Kipahulu. This Maui chieftain married the Chieftess Kamehameha and had two daughters, Kahikikala and Kalani-Lehua. When the young Prince Keoua [ surnamed Kupuapa-l-Kalaninui-Ahilapalapa ], later father of the Kamehameha and Lunalilo Dynasties, was a youth, he lived on the island of Maui. As any young man would, he paid court to these two lovely Maui girls. Although the younger sister, Kalani-Lehua, was his favorite, he had no children by her. By the elder sister, Kahikkala, Keoua had one son, his first, the Prince Kalokuokamaile, who is in all reality the eldest half-brother of the great King Kamehameha. The young Prince Keoua was later ordered by his father, the sacred Prince Keeaumoku, to return to Hawai'i and to leave behind him his Maui son and his wives. Keoua did this and his eldest-born was reared as a true Maui Prince. On his arrival at Hawai'i Keoua was married to the Princess Kamakaeheukuli daughter of the Prince Haae-a-Mahi of Hawai'i and the Princess Kalelemaoli-o-Kalani of Maui. The sacred Prince Kaleimamahu [ also called Kalaimamahu and Kalanimamahu] was born of this union. he is the ancestor of the Lunalilo Dynasty. This Prince Keoua then married the Princess Kekuiapoiwa ll, sister of Kamakaeheukuli, and the great Kamehameha and his younger brother Kealiimaikai were born of this marriage. The eldest branch of the Kamehameha Dynasty therefore is the House of Kalokuokamaile. The sanctity of the Hour of Keawe and the family of Keoua lies however in the House of Kaleimamahu whence spings the Lunalilo Dynasty.
