Lizzie Mana
I added back the content you deleted. The citation about the common-law marriage comes from Reshela Patrik DuPuis's book Documenting Community: Activist Videography in Hawai'i. Common-law marriage refers to an unrecognized union/cohabitation between two people so does not refute the fact that John Mana was her first legal husband. As for the children listed. The 1900 census states they are of Native Hawaiian descent and Lizzie Mana's obituary listed all three of them and the grandchildren she had by them as her own. The obituary entries reflect the local knowledge at the time and goes beyond official census records. It is hard to pull apart their relationship from just one census entry though since Lizzie Mana could have lied about never having any children and maybe there is a reason to list the children as boarders. Alternatively, it makes no sense why William Whiting would board his illegitimate children with a random woman if he never had a relationship with her and the children were not connected in anyway with her.

Also in each of three children marriage records, their mother is listed as Mana or Lizzie Mana:
