Their is a story that John Fyfe, father of Alexander Adams, was a a Scottish Earl. Adams claimed his father John was the Earl of Fyfe. Court Records from Scotland show that there was an Earl of Fyfe (Fife) in existence at least until 1864. At that time, the current Earl was engaged in a series of land disputes with the Duffs, whose ancestors (the MacDuffs) were an earlier line of Earls of Fyfe.

Kamakahonu - The Eye Of The Turtle
by Mikahala RoyThe area known as Kamakahonu and the surrounding Kamakahonu Cove is beyond dispute, the of the most important sites in al! ths Hawaiian islands. Not only was Kamakahonu declared the first capitol site of the united Hawaiian islands under the leadership of Kamehameha the Great, it was here that he spent his last years and organized the preparation of Hawaii for her future.
Here the Kapu System, the evolved condition of the faith of the Hawaiian people to that point, was abrogated foliowing the historic "Ai Noa" ceremony.
Here the first missionaries to reach the islands made their initial "official" landing. They did so upon a stone promontory of pahoehoe islets recorded in history as the "Plymouth Landing" of Hawai'i. Here, the ships of other countries of the world landed to receive permission from Kamehameha I for any and all of their activity in the islands.
Here, the Hawaiian flag flew for the first time in the Kingdom, the product of the collaboration of Kamehameha I and Captain Alexander Adams.

ENGLISH:The Hawaiian Flag was designed for King Kamehameha I in the year 1816. As the king desired to send a vessel to China, to sell a cargo of sandalwood, he in company with John Young, Isaac David and Capt. Alexander Adams, (the latter now living at Kalihi, near Honolulu, and aged about eighty years,) made this flag for the ship, which was a war vessel called the Forrester, carrying 16 guns and owned by Kamehameha I.
The flag having been made, the vessel sailed for Macao, China where the ensign was not credited nor recognized as a government flag. The ship was heavily taxed for the harbor, her cargo of sandalwood sold at a lost and she returned to these islands.
The King having heard of the loss attending his speculation said he would impose a tax on the harbor of Honolulu, similar to that of foreign countries. This was the origin of harbor dues at these islands.
On the 25th of Feb., 1843, Lord George Paulet hauled down this flag with the purpose of adding these islands to the sovereignty of Great Britain, and raised the British flag on flag-staffs throughout the group which remained up until the 31st of July, of the same year, when Admiral Thomas restored the flag, being responsible for the act of Lord George Paulet.
