Abigail Kapiolani Kawananakoa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abigail Helen Kapiolani Kawananakoa (March 14, 1903 - April 8, 1961), was the eldest daughter of Abigail Kawananakoa born during her marriage with Prince David Kawananakoa, but whom her putative father Prince David declared not to be his child. According to some (who do not recognize father's declaration legally significant) she became the head of the House of Kawananakoa upon the death of her younger brother Edward David Kalakaua Kawananakoa on May 20, 1953.
The younger Princess Abigail married twice: to Andrew Anderson Lambert in 1922, and later to Harry Montague Field. She had three children: son Edward A. Kawananakoa, and daughters Virginia Po'omaikelani Kawananakoa (1926-1998) and Ester Kapiolani Kawananakoa Marignoli (1928-1995).
Upon her death on April 8, 1961, her eldest son Edward A. Kawananakoa became the most senior native Hawaiian and heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawai'i.
