Kiaimoku _ Witness deposed that Kuihelani was Governor
of Oahu immediately after it was conquered by Kamehameha
& that he lived with the following persons: Manuhoa,
Kaihekioi, Koki, Kalaikuahulu, Eka, Piipii, Manini,
Aikaki, & Kamakaokalani;  Also Kekauluohi, Pauahi,
and Kalainohino, on lands called, Kikihale, Hukolo;
Kuihelani being their Landlord; but Kamehameha
the true owner.  Nalimaapa was a servant of Kuihelani
and lived there with his Master.  He died about the time
this fort was built.  While Kamehameha was at Hawaii.
Kuihelani died & left his right to his son.  Kawailepolepo
& Kaihekalai then took charge of the place instead of
Nalimaapa.  But Kaikekahi was turned away by Kawai-
lepolepo[Kawailepolepo] at Kamehameha's orders; and Mahoe was put in
his place.  Kalaimoku at the time of building the Fort
was offended with Mahoe & displaced him; giving char[?][charge]
to Kaumaumakea, He returned charge until Manu[?]

took charge of the Fort; when Kaumaumakea was
replaced and charge given to Pehu, though Kaumau[?]
continued to live as he had done.  But at the time [?]
Kuakini took charge of the fort, Kaumaumakea
his right to Auwae; but when Auwae went to
Maui then Boki took it as Governor & there being no[?] 
-pant, moved Kaahumanu's house to that place.
At Kikihale Kaapuiki has a little place,     but [?]
a small part of that Land; and has always been
possession of it since the death of Nalimaapa.

enough to become intelligent, he was acquainted with the
land which Kaapuiki now claims.
Kamehameha gave the land to Kuihelani _ indeed
Kuihelani was the head man of all Honolulu.
Witness is own Brother to Kaapuiki the claimant.
He lived there with his Father as servants of Kuihelani.
The yard was occupied by us in connection with Hikiau
who was the head man under Kuihelani; there were
other servants in the yard belonging to Kuihelani.
Kuihelani died suddenly without a will.
Mahai was appointed to his office; & we then lived under
him as Kuihelani.  We lived at Kikihale.
Subsequently Mahai was dispossessed.  Kawailepolepo
was appointed in his place.  When Rihoriho came to this
Island, the Chiefs & people filled up the place; at which
time, I with some of the rest of us, moved back to Palama,
and left our yard with my grandmother & others of my
relations.  Kaapuiki was at this time a child & stayed
with his grandmother, at which place he has always
lived to the present time.
