No. 264, Thomas Cuminis (Cummins), from page 390, volume (?) [2]
John Ii, sworn and said, I have seen Alani's place at Pawaa in Waikiki. Alani's property had been from Hewahewa. This was during the time of Kamehameha I. Land was the reason he had lived there in the beginning, that is the land in Kapeau's possession. When he lived there, he put up a fence and built a house. When Alani died, I heard the property had been bequested for his children. This place is in G.P. Judd's property. In the 1847, I heard the place had been sold to Thomas Cummins to pay his (Alani) debts.
