Princess Theresa Owana Kaohelelani Laanui
As a child, she would often go to the palace of King Kamehameha V to make leis for him. She was married four times, although she only had children from her first and second marriages.
Her first husband was Alexander Joy Cartwright III, grandson of Honolulu businessman Alexander Cartwright (one of the reported founders of baseball). By this marriage she had two daughters, Princess Daisy Emmalani Cartwright and Princess Eva Kuwailanimamao Cartwright.
Her second husband was Robert William Kalanihiapo Wilcox (1855-1903), a prominent Hawaiian soldier and stateman nicknamed the "Iron Duke of Hawai'i". By this marriage she had a son, Prince Robert Kalanikupuapaikalaninui Wilcox and a daughter, Princess Virginia Kahoa Kaahumanu Kaihikapumahana Wilcox. She and Wilcox owned and operated two Hawaiian newspapers, called the Liberal & the Home Rule Republic, which were written in Hawaiian and English. She was received at the White House during Wilcox's service (1900-1903) as the Territory of Hawaii's first Delegate to Congress.
