Isaac Davis descendants/heirs (2012)

Let us review who the REAL descendants of John Young/Olohana including Isaac Davis:

John Young
Advisor to Kamehameha I Governor of Hawaiʻi Island High Chief

Spouse	Namokuelua Mary Kaʻōanāʻeha
Issue
Robert Young James Kānehoa Young Fanny Kekelaokalani Young Grace Kamaʻikuʻi Young John Kalaipaihala Young II Jane Lahilahi Young
Father	Robert Young
Mother	Grace Young
Born	c. 1742 or March 17, 1744 Crosby, Lancashire, England, Great Britain
Died	December 17, 1835 (aged 91) Honolulu, Oahu
Burial	Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii

A problem with this story is that She married John Young as his second wife in 1805. Young married Namokuelua prior to her, and more than 18 years lapsed between Young's arrival and Kaʻōanaʻeha's marriage.

She defied the Christianity of her husband, and was similar to Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani in turning down Western ways. For example, after Young died in 1835 she took as her new name Mele Kuamoʻo, after the battle of Kuamoʻo where her brother Kekuaokalani, defender of the kapu system, was killed leading the rebel forces against those of Kamehameha II in 1819.

After Nakai died in the ukuʻu plague, Davis married Kalukuna,^[4] a relative of Kamehameha, in Honolulu, and founded a prominent family in the islands. They had two children. His son George Hueu Davis was born on January 10, 1800. His daughter Elizabeth "Betty" Peke Davis was born on February 12, 1803.

After his death, his companion John Young looked after his children. Two of them were living with him in 1807, and after Davis's murder in 1810 Young continued to care for them. In Young's will, dated 1834, he divided his lands equally between both his own and Davis's children.^[5]

Mahele ("Colony")
Mahele ("Colony")

Grass house at Kawaihae, said to be Queen Emma's birthplace. Queen Emma's ancestors included John Young. Kawaihae 2ahupua‘a went to her estate in the Mahele. Hawai‘i State Archives photogragh by Brigham, 1889.

“Hawaiians were ruled by the ali‘i,” Billy explains, “and his kuhina nui was the overseer for the ali‘i in the various areas. So a Hawaiian didn’t own any of his own property, he just lived on the chief’s land. And it wasn’t until King Kamehameha III and King Kamehameha IV started the Mahele that lands became available to the commoner. Before that, the commoner had nothing.

“With the Mahele, I think Kamehameha III had the good intent to get the land into the hands of the maka‘aianana, the commoners who lived on the land. But they weren’t schooled properly so they didn’t have proper surveys done, so many didn’t get patents from the Land Commission. As a result, lands were improperly recorded, and they didn’t really have ownership of the place."

“The total fourteen kuleana awardees in the ahupua‘a do not reflect the total population of Kawaihae,” Chiogioji & Hammatt agree (1997: 22):

‘They probably represent the local elite, those who could afford the survey and commutation [that were part of the award procedure], had the proper authority for permanent occupancy, had reputable witnesses to sustain both the authority [to occupy] and continuous use [of the parcel], and who chose to apply’ (Apple 1978: 62, cited in Chiogioji & Hammatt 1997: 22).

“Many people watched for these lands that they knew they were not patented,” Billypoints out, "and any time they saw such lands, they’d start paying taxes on them, and they went in and grabbed them. So the Hawaiians were duped out of a lot of land, in more ways than one. It’s sad."

Macy's Grave

Grave of George W. Macy at Kawaihae. Macy was a ship captain and business partner with James Louzada. The two purchased 250 acres in the adjacent Lalamilo ahupua‘a, to (unsuccessfully) run a commercial plantation. Macy's grave formerly included a large white obelisk, visible from the sea and a marker to sailors.

“But it also made it possible for people like my great-grandfather William Johnson and other caucasians to purchase land also. However, he wouldn’t have been able to get as much land if it hadn’t been for his wife who was descended from ali‘i, and from Isaac Davis. It was two-way. So they were treated favorably. Just like John Palmer Parker who married to Princess Kipikane, he was able to get a lot.

“Maybe some of those guys married with the thought in mind, ‘Hey, if I get that one she’ll be useful to me.’ Ha ha!

"I’m thankful that the women in my family, the generation above my father, were strong women. They believed in theahupua‘a. They believed in hanging onto these lands. That’s why these lands still go right up to the mountain. It’s come down for generations.”

“The mid-19th century distribution of the kuleanaparcels along Kawaihae Bay within the two ahupua‘a may reflect the traditional pre-contact Hawaiian settlement pattern," Chiogioji & Hammatt suggest. "The shoreline of Kawaihae Hikina, dominated by the presence of the two heiau, may have been an enclave reserved for residences of the ali‘i and their retainers—as it was for Ka‘oana‘eha and the konohiki Puna in the 1840s. "

"In contrast, to the north at the Kawaihae Komohana shoreline, the maka‘ainana (commoners) would have lived and worked amidst the salt pans, and, likely, the ‘excellent’ canoe houses that George Vancouver observed in 1792. The two claims for mauka awards of cultivated land in Kawaihae Hikina may be the surviving remnants of a once much larger, agriculture-based, upland settlement in the ahupua‘a” (Chiogioji & Hammatt 1997: 25).

“Although there were many Hawaiiansliving in Kawaihae Uka about 1850,"Langlas writes, "there were almost nomahele awards made there. Hawaiians continued to live there after the maheleprobably as tenants of the ahupua‘aowners. The eventual disappearance of Hawaiians from Kawaihae Uka is related partly to its land history. Kawaihae 2 went to Keoni Ana [John Young's heir] in themahele and subsequently was inherited by his niece Queen Emma.

"Two small houselot awards were made inmauka Kawaihe 2 in the mahele, but the properties have been taken over by the Queen Emma Foundation today as part of their larger property. No Hawaiians have family land there anymore."

Mahele divisions

Apart from limited claims in the uplands and at the shore, the two Kawaihae ahupua‘a went to the Crown (and later Hawaiian Homelands) and to the estate of Queen Emma, who descended from John Young.

“Kawaihae 1 went to the crown in themahele. There was only one mahele award made there. The land of Keawewai (520 acres) went to the white settler Lorenzo B. Lincoln. Lincoln had been given the land by Governor Kuakini in 1839 for his services to Kuakini in tanning the hides of the cattle which were running wild in Waimea.

“The crown land of Kawaihae 1 became Government land after Hawai‘i was annexed by the U.S. and it was given to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) after the 1920 Hawaiian Homes Act, for homestead leases to Hawaiians. Since then, the great bulk of Kawaihae 1 (except for Keawewai and the land at Kawaihae Bay) had been leased to Kahua Ranch for running cattle” (Langlas 1994: 18). The lower portion has recently been developed as house lots for Hawaiians.

Davis Tomb

Grave of George Hueu Davis, son of Isaac Davis, at Kawaihae. In the Mahele, Davis was given the entire ahupua‘a of Waikoloa, the largest ahupua‘a in South Kohala.

“Codified in Kingdom law were provisions such that tenants and landlords were directed to have duly respectful relationships with one another," Hannah points out. "Landlords were not to abuse their tenants, and tenants were to maintain good behavior on their lands. I think that through the Kingdom period, the traditional landlord-tenant relationship was preserved.

"This is of course is what’s still being argued in the courts of the State of Hawai‘i: What are traditional and customary rights? What rights do tenants have? How do those provisions for rights accruing to tenants become practiced today when resources have been depleted, and maybe tenants from one ahupua‘a no longer have resources that are found in other ahupua‘a? Is it then permissible to go to other ahupua‘a to extract or utilize those resources?"

The legacy of the Mahele certainly transformed the fabric of the islands ever since. For the rest of the 19th century and on, private ownership of would affect population and society in Kawaihae.
