Hawaiian girls at Ascot Priory

At Ascot and Pusey House I will try to clarify who was there.  There are so many different versions.  For sure there was:

Girls that went with Queen Emma in 1865:
Palemo Kekeekaakapu -- 2 years old in 1865.  According to "Mission Life; Or Home and Foreign Church Work, Volume 6", p. 436-7, the girls stayed on the Isle of Wight when they went to England because the climate was better suited to them.  Dr. Pusey owned as estate there called Southlands House, built in 1847.

From same source, Palemoʻs uncle is Kamakau of the House of Nobles*, a judge (need to verify this)
Palemoʻs father held "some hereditary office in the kingʻs court" and died a year after Palemo left.  He was a member of the Reformed Catholic Church - so he would have known Queen Emma.  Book also states that Palemo was the god-daughter of Halakaua (misspelling of Kalākaua??? or was it supposed to be Alexander Liholiho who would have been alive when Palemo was born???) and Queen Emma.

*NOTE:  From Roster of legislatures of Hawaii.  There is a W. P. Kamakau at the time Palemo would have left.  Wife is Kamakeʻe (source).  Kamakeʻe was once married to Iona Piʻikoi (source) who divided the land she received as part of the Mahele.  the Hon. W. P. Kamakau paid tuition for a Maria Piikoi ("Father:  Piikoi, dead, a native;  Mother:  Kamakee, a native), who is apparently his step-daughter.  UPDATE:  Jonah (Iona) Piikoi is the father of Maria and first husband of Kamakee.

Gravestone date is 11 March 1872, Age 9 years. Flickr photo of grave

Kealakai - NOT aliʻi.  Daughter of one of Emmaʻs retainers.  unless we find a grave at Ascot, i will assume she did NOT stay inengland.  Neither she nor her family are mentioned in Mother Lydia's will.



Girls that went with Mother Sellon in 1867:
Elizabeth Keomailani Crowningburg - aliʻi.  Was 8 when she went.

Manoanoa Rosa Lokalia Shaw - NOT aliʻi.  "Daughter of one of the kingʻs people"  Gravestone date says 25 February 1870, Age 19 years.  So she was 16 when she went to England.

Lily/Kalikali Shaw???  some accounts mention Manoanoaʻs sister, but mistakenly identify "Lily Keomailani Shaw" as the sister
