LINEAGE
Conflict: Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 103 states he descended from Napunanahunui-a-Umi (Umi's child) for eight generations through "his mother's, Kumaiku's ancestors, Ua, Iwakaualii, Iama." However, there are only 6 generations. One problem is that Ua and Iwakaualii are mates, but by Fornander, they should be parent and child.
Conflict: Ahlo et al, Kamehameha's Children Today, p 153 lists mother as Lonoanahulu.
LIFE
A. Keeaumoku means "the boarding a fleet" (Bingham, A Residence of Twenty-one Years in the Sandwich Islands, p xvi).
B. High chief (Descendants of Prince Keeaumoku I, Hms G65, Chart 8-A-1). He was of Kona (Oukah, Hawaiian Royal & Noble Genealogies, p 59).
C. He is considered "the slayer and maker of kings." He assisted Kalaniopuu in conquering Keaweopala. He joined with Namahana and settled on Maui, but Kahekili instigated a fight (because he had planned to join with Namahana), which caused Keeaumoku and Namahana to flee to Molokai. Kahekili pursued with an army, where they battled at sea. Keeaumoku and Namahana and her relatives escaped to Hana, Maui which was under control of Kalaniopuu and where they dwelt in peace for several years. Under Kalaniopuu's deteriorating health, Kahekili invaded Hana, but Keeaumoku and his family fled to Kahoolawe and stayed there until Kalaniopuu died, following which the family returned to his old estates in Kona, Hawaii. In the first battle with Kamehameha, Keeaumoku killed ruler Kiwalao, bringing him in favor of Kamehameha. Keeaumoku "treacherously assasinated" Keoua, ruler of Hawaii, after Keoua repelled Kamehameha's attacks for 9 years. (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p. 355-367). "During the war between Ka-lani-opu'u and Ka-hekili, between the years 1777 and 1779, the parents of Ka-ahu-manu went to Hawaii with their whole household and company of attendants and followed in the rear of Ka-lani-opu'u's army" (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 310).
D. He was one of four principal chiefs to assist Kamehameha I in his conquest (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 132). Kamehameha's "counselor, coadjutor, and most devoted friend" (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 320). "the man who was chiefly responsible for Kamehemaha's rise to power" (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 189).
E. "Died peacefully as governor of the windward islands in 1804" (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 367). Died from cholera in 1804 (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p. 189,389). Died at Koko (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p. 313).
