Claim 8513, Lorenzo B. Lincoln, Waimea, 27 January 1848
F.R. 25v3
To Board of Land Commissioners, &c., Gentlemen:
I am now holding a parcel of land at Hawaii on the Estate of Kohala, having a Gulph near it called Keawewa, and Kawaihae uka is the name of the land: Bounded northwest by Keanaele, southeast by a gulph near Puloa. This was given me by Governor Adams in 1839 and I have held it since that time, and some considerable part of it is in cultivation. I have never held any deed and wish to know about it.
Signed, Lorenzo B. Lincoln
F.T. 203v3
No. 8513, Lorenzo B. Lincoln, See volume 4, N.T. page 144
Z. Kaauwai, sworn, I took testimony on this Claim in 1848. I know the origin of this claim. Lincoln had it through his wife still living, and she from her ancestors - and they have lived upon and cultivated part of it in peace without dispute to this day. Keawewai is the name of the land I refer to as this estate of his wife.
The land of John Young's mother, Koanaea, bounds it on the Kona side.
Government kula on makai
Leleiohoku's heirs on Kohala
Mountain on Mauka.
To this there is no dispute. ....

.... d heard later about Kuakini giving this land to him /Lincoln/.
Resumed pg. 530, Vol. 3
N.T. 530-531v3
No. 8513, L.B. Lincoln, from page 144 volume 4
Z. Kaauwai, sworn, I have taken the statements of the witnesses about whom this interest belongs and it has been clarified that his land is from his wife. She had received it from her grandparents and has always lived there to the present time without any objections from anyone. Keawewai in Kawaihae has been partially cultivated. Kohala is an exception. This is the land his (Lincoln) wife has received.
I believe the boundaries are:
Mauka by the mountain
Kona by Kauanaeha
Makai by a pasture
Kohala by Kinau, the heir of Leleiohoku.
The place that Kuakini had given to the possessor of this claim is included in these boundaries which have been mentioned. He had given generously and the reason for this was he /Lincoln/ was a foreign tanner, but to be more accurate, there is a small document written by Momona because this had been his work when we had gone to Hawaii taking the report of the witnesses for the claimants there.
