ROBINSON FAMILY CONNECTION TO HAWAIIAN ROYALTY

The late Hattie Panana and her husband Col. Sam Parker, himself a descendant of the Mahi clan of chiefs, had nine children. The eldest was a daughter, Mary Parker, who married Charles Maguire, only son of John Avery Maguire, the original owner of the rich Huehue and Kahua ranches of the Big Island.

The couple had one daugh-daughter, the late Aileen Ruth Maguire Stillman, a wonderful hostess in the old Parker tradition. This daughter married the late Judge Arthur Stillman, and only a few island people have not enjoyed the gracious hospitality of the Stillmans of Huehue on the slopes of Hualalai.

Of this marriage were born three daughters. The eldest is Thelma Kihalani who married Phillip Springer of Honolulu. The youngest is Nancy Kahiwahiwa, now the wife of Carroll Oliver of Kailua.

The second daughter of Aileen Maguire Stillman is Mary Aileen Kahailiopua, the “Mad-Cap Red-Head of Kona.”

A Charming hostess in the younger social set of Honolulu, she was first married to the late James Allen Robinson, son of the late Mark and Agnes Robinson, of Nuuanu. They had one daughter, Aileen Ruth.

After the early death of her first husband, Mary Stillman Robinson married Valentine Grover Holt II, son of the senior Valentine Holt and Sophia Mersberg Mett.

The eldest son of Col. and Mrs. Samuel Parker was John Palmer Parker who married Elizabeth Jane (Tutsy) Dowsett and had one daughter, the late Annie Thelma Kahilu-o -Napua-o-Nahono-a-Piilani. This lady was the mother of the present owner of the Parker Ranch, Richard Smart of New York and Mana.

Richard Smart, a talented pedal-digital terpsichorean artist, married Patricia Monteagle de Haven of San Francisco and has two sons, Anthony and Gilliard.
