William Charles Malulani Beckley [9] [10] (August 1, 1814 - March 6, 1871), married Kahinu o-Kekuaokalani-i-Lekeleke (1829-after 1853).
Beckley- In this city, on the 6th instant, Mr. William C, Beckley, aged 56 years, eldest son of the late Captain George Beckley, who was for mauy years a resident of these islands. Friend
William Beckley, hapa-haole son of Captain George Beckley who had been in the service of Kamehameha I, was for a number of years in charge of the king's cattle on Hawai'i. After the death of Governor Adams Kuakini on December 9, l844, Beckley was appointed konohiki of Waimea, as well as manager of all the cattle there belonging to the king and the government. Beckley assumed, wrongly, that he had received all of Waimea to manage as he saw fit, believing, as he said, that there were no 'Hi kupono within it (Leleiohoku l845). William Pitt Leleiohoku, Kuakini's heir and successor to the governorship of Hawai'i, protested to Keoni Ana, minister of the interior (Ibid.). There is no record of Keoni Ana's reply, but matters seem to have been adjusted satisfactorily, for the Land Board records show Beckley as the konohiki with power to sanction all land transactions, native and foreign, on Crown and Government lands, while the lands of the Young family and those of Hu'eu Davis continued to be managed by themselves or their own konohiki. Leleiohoku's l0-acre 'Hi kupono "Kamakahonu," (LCA 997l:58) and Lunalilo's Puako (LCA 8559-B:6) were also unaffected by Beckley's authority. As konohiki Beckley proved to be a lenient one. There is no case in which he disputed a claim, and in fact he was the principal witness for the majority of cases on the lands of which he had jurisdiction. As witness, he clarified the extent, location, and tenure of the simply worded claims, and ensured more than one award where none would have been made due to vagueness of claimant. [11]
