Children of
Edward George Huakini "Kia" Nahaolelua
and
Elizabeth Kahele Manawa-ola St. John
Edward George Huakini, or "Kia" Nahaolelua, as he was known, was born in 1852, the first child of Aki (m) and Kaaiohelo (f). In that time, surnames were not used. Each person had a unique name that often reflected their lineage; hence, very long involved names. Aki had a sister, Helekunihi, who married Paul Nahaolelua. Their only son, Obed, died at one day old, March 20, 1858. As was the Hawaiian custom at the time, Kia was adopted, or hanai by Aki's sister, Helekunihi, and was known as "Kia Nahaolelua" from that point on. Also adopted by Paul and Helekunihi was Fanny Kekelaokalani Young, daughter of John Young, who was to become the mother of Queen Emma.
Edward George Huakini "Kia" Nahaolelua and Elizabeth Kahele Manawa-ola St. John were married on August 10, 1870 at St. Andrews Cathedral by Rev. George Mason, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii. They had nine children.
