He had a daughter named Maevarua, recognized as supreme chief or "Arii rahi" of Tahaa and Bora Bora. She died on July 14, 1809 in Raiatea.[1] He was the grandfather of Tapoa II whose mother was Maevarua.[2][3] Other sources say that he was the father of Tapoa II.[4] After the death of his daughter, the regency of his little son was entrusted to the chief Fenuapeho of Tahaa.[5][2] With the help of the other chiefs of the Leeward Islands, he provided military support to Pomare II to restore him to his lands at Tahiti in 1810.[6] He died at the end of September 1812 in Tahiti.[7]
