Abigail Kuaihelani Maipinepine Bright, Mrs. Campbell (1858–1908) was member of the nobility of the Kingdom of Hawaii who married two powerful businessmen.
Abigail Kuaihelani Maipinepine Bright was born on August 22, 1858 on Maui.[1] Her mother was Mary Kamai Hanaike and father was Isaac (or John[2]) Maipinepine Bright.[3]
Her proportion of Native Hawaiian blood has been disputed, but she is mentioned to having some relations to the ancient royalty of Maui island.[4]
On October 30, 1877, she married Scotch-Irish American businessman James Campbell (1826–1900).[5]Her daughter, Abigail Campbell (1882–1945), became better-known as Abigail Campbell Kawānanakoa after marrying a Hawaiian prince.
Another daughter, Alice Kamokila (1884–1971), became active in the anti-statehood movement after annexation.[6] Other daughters were Beatrice and Muriel. A son James Campbell, Jr. and other children died young.[2] James Campbell, Sr. died in 1900 and bequeathed his widow one-third of the estate during her lifetime.
After the 1893 overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, she and Emma Nāwahī, wife of Joseph Nāwahī, became leaders of the movement for protesting the takeover called Hui Hawaiʻi Aloha ʻĀina o Na Wahine (Hawaiian Women's Patriot League).[7]
On January 4, 1902, Abigail Kuaihelani Campbell married widower Samuel Parker, half owner of Parker Ranch.[8] It was a private ceremony in the Occidental Hotel of San Francisco with a judge presiding. The Campbell estate owned the St. James Hotel in San Jose, California. She was preparing to celebrate the wedding of her daughter Abigail to Prince David Kawānanakoa, which happened two days later. The Parkers traveled to Washington, D.C.[9] They returned to California February 2, 1902; it was rumored that Parker would be appointed as the next governor of the Territory of Hawaii.[10] However, George R. Carter was appointed instead. In August 1903 she had an expensive set of jewelry stolen after a reception in Honolulu for opening a new hotel.[11] Most of the jewelry was recovered; a servant surnamed Gallagher was charged.[12] They had no children.
She died November 1, 1908 after surgery for breast cancer.[13]
