There was no woman of his household whom Kamehameha loved so much as Ka-hei-hei-malie" (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 386).
D. Kamehameha I enlisted Hoapiliwahine and Kekauluohi to Kalaikuahulu to be instructed in the genealogies. "some of the things of the genealogy were forgotten, perhaps because of the duration of their instruction" (McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 2 p 17). She was second in esteem of Kamehameha's mates (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 184).
E. At the death of Kamehameha, after living with him for 20 years, she mourned for 1 year, and then paired with Kanuha (about 1820). Following the death of Keopuolani in September 1823, "she became the wife of Ulu-maheihei, they became converted, were married under Christian vows, and took the names of Hoa-pili-kane and Mary Hoa-pili-wahine [the Hawaiian form of Mr. and Mrs.] ... Hoa-pili had accepted the word of God because of Ke-opu-o-lani. Ka-heihei-malie turned to Christianity first, and Ka-'ahu-manu followed" (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 387).
F. Order of children with Kamehameha (McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 1 p 17).
