Lanai had brought a bill of sale from William Wallace on the 17th day of Sept. 1846 and John Ricord has recorded it.
William Wallace, sworn by the Word of God and stated, "I had received this place from the governor. When Nuuanu Street was under construction, a part of my property was taken for the street. Therefore, I went to the governor for a replacement, at which time I did receive it and I transferred it to Lanai. That was the time the street was constructed, altho' I do not remember the year. The lot has been enclosed, there are houses and a well. No one has ever objected to the present time. I have lived in peace until the place was acquired by Lanai. I received my first place from Mr. French."
