James Alapuna (Aalapuna) Harbottle Boyd (1858–1918) was a member of the nobility of the Kingdom of Hawaii who became and was the inspiration behind the song Aloha ʻOe.
James Alapuna Harbottle Boyd was born July 4, 1858 in Honolulu.
He was a namesake of island governor John Adams Kuakini (1789–1844), who in turn took the name of John Quincy Adams when Americans first settled on the islands in the 1820s. His father was Thomas Jefferson Cummins (1802–1885) who was born in Lincoln, England, raised in Massachusetts, and came to the Hawaiian Islands in 1828.[1] His mother was High Chiefess Kaumakaokane Papaliʻaiʻaina (1810–1849) who was a distant relative of the royal family of Hawaii. As the custom of native Hawaiians, he was raised as an aliʻi nui because of his mother's family background. His father owned much of land in Waimānalo on the east coast of the island of Oʻahu, starting a horse and cattle ranch in the 1840s. He managed the ranch and converted it to a sugar plantation starting in 1877, and built a mill in 1881
"Looking for ancestors of Robert Lopaka Boyd, born 1 May 1776 or 1785 either in Grenada, West Indies or in Honolulu, Oahu, HI (I've found both dates and birth sites). He was naturalized 18 May 1844 in the Hawaiian Islands -- and was King Kamehameha's shipbuilder. Family records show his father's name to be Robert but do not say where he came from. Robert Lopaka Boyd married Maria Ilikealii Harbottle 1827-1834 in Honolulu. He died 17 July 1870 in Honolulu. A son of Robert Lopaka Boyd was Hon. Edward (or Edwin) Harbottle Boyd, b 8 Oct. 1831 or 1834 in Honolulu. He married both sisters Beke and Maria Adams, and died 4 Sept 1875 in Kailua, Oahu, HI. My great grand mother, Caroline Hawea Boyd, b 26 Apr 1860, was the daughter of Edward Boyd and Maria Adams. She married George Humphreys Robertson in Honolulu 25 Nov 1881. Her brother, Col. James Harbottle Alapuna Boyd, b 4 July 1858, married Helen Cleghorn 16 Aug 1888.
