Grace Kamaikui
Grace Kamaikui Young Rooke (1808–1866) was a Hawaiian high chiefess who was daughter of the chief military advisor during the formation of the Kingdom of Hawaii, and adoptive mother of a future Queen consort.
==Early Life and Marriage==
She was born in 1808, in Kawaihae, in the Kohala District, on the Island of Hawaii. Her father was John Young, known as Olohana, the royal advisor of Kamehameha I, from Lancashire, England. Her mother was High Chiefess Kaoanaeha, the niece of Kamehameha I. She was probably named after John Young's mother from England. She was raised on her father's homestead on a barren hillside overlooking the Kawaihae Bay, on land Kamehameha had given to her father on the Island of Hawaii. It is now part of Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site. She grew up with her two sisters, Fanny and Jane, and her brother, John. Fanny was oldest, Grace was second, John was third, and Jane the youngest. She had two older half-brothers by her father's first marriage to Namokuelua: Robert and James. The siblings were ''hapa-haole'' or part Caucasian, but still considered to have royal status from their mother.
In her teenage years, probably in 1821, she married High Chief "George Cox" Kahekili Keeaumoku, the Governor of Maui. Cox was powerful Queen regent Kaahumanu's younger brother. He was about 20 years older, so she was left a young widow when Cox died at Honolulu, Oahu in 1823. She remarried Thomas Charles Byde Rooke (1806–1858), a British physician to king Kamehameha III, in 1830. She was the only royal part-Hawaiian chiefess to marry a white man in her generation. Her sisters, Fanny and Jane, had married native Hawaiian nobles.〔
