I'll play. I found a picture of a King Kamehameha and he's not black, but as there were at least five of them with all the same name, I don't know which one this is. The statue in your story is probably black because it's made of something black, it looks like cast iron. Now I wish Miss Tickly was around, she had a brilliant collection of photographs of the Hawaiian 'royal family' (I think those 'kings' were chiefs, actually, but not to worry, one of them was in love with Queen Victoria, iirc. He wanted to give her Hawaii but she wouldn't take it.
So, Charles Reed Bishop had a brother named Henry.
Henry and Charles Bishop were brothers. Got that.
One of his daughters married James Skiff Dunham and they had a son that married a Payne.
You don't say. So a pack of Irish arrived in Hawaii? That is indeed a 'payne' hehe
It gets even better...
Promise?
There just might be another Manson connection! There was another son that married a Tate.
OMG NO! THAT'S HORRIBLE!
but guess what? It's not the middle of the day here. It's 2am. Later. ;-)
You poor thing, how are you going to sleep without having nightmares after that? So maybe our Roman came from Russia after all and his name was Polanski? I would never have thought of that. Do take care now...
