With a Hawaiian woman, Elizabeth Lapeka Pauahi Grimes, Cleghorn had three daughters, but later separated. In 1870, Cleghorn became a citizen of the Kingdom of Hawaii and married Princess Miriam K. Likelike, sister of David Kalakaua, on September 22, 1870 at Washington Place. In 1874 Kalakaua became King, and Cleghorn's daughter Princess Victoria Kaiaulani was the heir to the throne of the House of Kalakaua.

He acted as the Royal Governor of Oahu in July 1887, and was appointed to succeed Prince Consort John Owen Dominis upon his death in November 1891, serving until February 28, 1893.

A RARE CRYSTAL SODA WORKS AD COVER USE WITH THE "LATE LETTER, MAIL" CIRCULAR HANDSTAMP.

The "Late Letter, Mail" circular handstamp was known used July 2, 1882 to October 1, 1884. The marking reflects payment of an extra fee for processing a late letter. Starting in mid-1882, letters brought to the Honolulu Post Office after the posted closing time for a mail shipment were charged an additional 5¢ fee to have their letters included in the mail. The fee was charged more to discourage the practice of bringing in late letters than for revenue.
