Metcalfe nevertheless invited the locals to trade with him, only to fire his cannons at the approaching canoes with unarmed traders, killing more than 100 Hawaiians at Olowalu.

Metcalfe also once mistreated Kameʻeiamoku, a high chief on the island of Hawaii, and one of the sacred pio twins, by whipping him.

Thomas and all of Fair American's crew were killed, except for Isaac Davis, the sole survivor of the attack, who was tied to a canoe and left nearly dead.

[citation needed] An alternative historical account that originated in a Hawaiian language newspaper in the early 20th century states that Kamehameha did not kill the crew of Fair American.

After Nakai died in the ukuʻu plague, Davis married Kalukuna,[5] a relative of Kamehameha, in Honolulu, and founded a prominent family in the islands.

His son married Kahaanapilo Papa and Kalapuna and had many descendants; among them was his son Isaac Young Davis who was the second husband of Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani and his granddaughter Lucy Kaopaulu Peabody who served as a maid of honor and lifelong companion to Queen Emma of Hawaii.

On his tombstone was placed the inscription: The remains of Isaac Davis who died on this Island April, 1810 Aged 52 years This cemetery is located near the Hawaii State Library in Honolulu.

John stayed and married a Hawaiian noble woman named Kauweʻa kanoaʻakaka wale no haleakala kaʻuwe kekiniʻokoolau (Daughter of Chief Kaukamoa and Chiefess Nahulanui).
