Record of Proceedings of the Commissioners of Boundaries, on application of Keekapu & her husband Pauahi to decide & certify to the Boundaries of Kekio, Palolo, Oahu.
Application was received on 17 day of June 1865 & survey of the land.
June 22. Board met at their office to hear testimony in regard to land claimed by Kahai, as being a portion of Pahoa, which is included in Survey of Keekapu on part of Kekio. Keekapu failing to produce her witnesses, the following testimony was taken on the part of Kahai.
Kalua, wahine, sworn, I live on Kamooiliili & have lived in Honolulu since 1823. I lived on Pahoa many years up to the time that John Young died.
I know the boundaries from my father, Kualehu, who was the Luna of Pahoa, under Olohena, the father of John Young. Kekio does not extend down makai to the Government road leading to Waialae, but Pahoa runs there & is bounded by Kapahulu. The boundary commences on that road leading to Waialae at a rock called Punahaha, which is a short distance makai of the Road & from there it runs mauka to a rock called Pohaku o Iole, from thence to a rock called Koloa & thence to a rock called Piliamoo.
Haole, sworn, I have lived on Mooiliili since 1850. I learned the boundaries of Pahoa from Kuaana, who was the son of Kualehu, the Luna of Pahoa. The boundary is the same as Kalua has testified to.
June 26. The board met at house of Keekapu on Kekio.
Present: Keekapu, Kahai & witnesses.
The proceeded on to the land in dispute between Kekio & Pahoa & went over the boundaries.
The boundary pointed out by Kalua, differed slightly from that she described in her testimony June 22. Instead of running direct from the rock Punahaha to Pohaku o Iole, it follows an old path crossing the Government road & leading mauka to a certain pile of stones & from thence to Pohaku o Iole.
After examining the boundaries the Board returned to the house of Keekapu & took the following testimony on the part of Keekapu, as to the boundaries of her land, Kekio.
