She was born in May 1813, in Kawaihae, in the Kohala District, on the Island of Hawaiʻi. Her aging father was John Young the royal advisor of Kamehameha I, from Lancashire, England, who had been given high status a vast tract of land. Her mother was High Chiefess Kaʻoanaʻeha, the niece of Kamehameha I. She was given the name of Jane and sometimes called Jenny Gini or "Kini", the Hawaiian version of Jane. She was raised on her father's homestead on a barren hillside overlooking Kawaihae Bay. It is now part of Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site. She grew up with her two sisters, Fanny and Grace, and her brother, John (known as "Keoni Ana"). Fanny was eldest, Grace was second, John was third, and she was the youngest. She had two elder half-brothers by her father's first marriage to Namokuelua; they were Robert and James Kanehoa. She and her siblings were hapa-haole or part Caucasian, but still considered having royal status through their mothers. She was Princess Nāhiʻenaʻena's childhood companion.[1]:307
A poet, she was skilled in the old allusive figurative style of her mother's ancestors. She married Hawaiian Joshua Kaeo, a Judge of the Supreme Court, and great grandson of King Kalaniʻōpuʻu. Their son Peter Kaeo was born on March 4, 1836, attended the Royal School and was adopted by her brother John.[2] Son Keliimaikai "Alebada" Kaeo died as in infant in 1851.[3]
She later became a royal mistress of King Kamehameha III and bore him twin sons, Keoua and Albert Kunuiakea. Keoua died as an infant but Albert lived to adulthood (1853–1903). Her son Albert was raised as a hānai (adopted) of Kamehameha III's queen, Kalama and lived on to be the last of the House of Kamehameha.[4]:364

She died in Honolulu, Oʻahu, January 12, 1862.[5] Since she was the maternal aunt of Queen Emma Kaleleonalani and daughter of John Young and Kaoanaeha, she was considered royal, so she was buried in the Wyllie Crypt of the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii known as Mauna ʻAla along with many of the Young Family. Her niece was Jane Lahilahi Young Nuʻuanu, born one year prior to her and daughter of her half-brother James.
