„Persons (different given names)” means: different combinations of a given name with a byname, not persons proved to have existed. Two namesakes from one family merge here into a single item, and the acts give nothing to tell them apart. An entry naming several families stands beside each of them — because the record names them together, and they must not be separated.

Family trees

Fragments of families assembled from the kinships the acts state outright. One fragment is as much as a single entry, or a group of entries, allows to be joined without guessing — not a whole family tree, only a certain piece of one.

The Kossowski family

The Kossowski family — descendants of Jarosz Kossowski

confidence B — 2 acts

A line assembled from 2 acts, linked by persons whose filiation is recorded. Predominant acts: Donation of a whole inheritance share of the paternal and maternal estates; cession of part of an inherited sum.

Caveat. Ancestors marked “mention only” are known solely from the filiation formula of a child — they have no appearance of their own in the register.

Michał Kossowski, being of sound mind and body, deposed that he gives a quittance to the well-born (Gen.) Tomasz Kierzbrów [the reading of the surname uncertain], steward of the starosty [the name – uncertain reading], and to his successors – for the protestation together with the inspection of wounds, made by him before the present records on the Tuesday after the feast of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity in the Year of Our Lord 1742 [22 May 1742] against that same party quitted – by reason of the satisfaction rendered to him through the hands of that same steward; and that same protestation together with the inspection of wounds he cancels.

[The deponent] unlettered. [Signature of the assisting friend:] Michał Kossowski, assistant

notes and marginalia The entry begins on f. 9r (scan 57-010) and ends on f. 9v (scan 57-011). A rare case: the active party is a **royal subject** (Providus) who – as a person unable to appear of himself before a court of the nobility – acts with the assistance of a nobleman, Michał Kossowski, an officer of the castle court known from the 1743 volume. The date of the protestation verified: Trinity Sunday 1742 fell on 20 May, and the Tuesday after it was 22 May 1742. The persons and the village of Biardy agree with the PTG tags for scan 57-010; the surname of the steward is given by the tag with equal hesitation („Tomasz Kierzbrów?”).

localities in the entry —

The noble (Nob.) Aleksander Kossowski, being of sound mind and body, deposed that he gives a quittance to the well-born (Gen.) Marcin Tchórzewski called Szymańczyk and to his successors – for the marks, both for the acts of violence and for the wounds, adjudged by a decree of the present office handed down in the terms for complaints, that is in the courts of the office's suits, on the Monday after the feast of the Assumption into heaven of the Most Glorious Virgin Mary in the Year of Our Lord 1743; further for the penalty of the tower and for the whole and entire process between him, the deponent, and that same party quitted – having received sufficient satisfaction; and the decree and the act expressed above he cancels.

notes and marginalia The third mention in the 1744 volume of **the penalty of the tower** (sessio turrica) – cf. entries 1202 and 1258. The date of the decree has been reckoned: the Monday after the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary 1743 = 19 August 1743 (a Monday) – the same session at which the decrees of entries 1172 and 1183 were handed down.

The noble (Nob.) Michał Kossowski, being of sound mind and body, deposed that he gives a quittance to the well-born (Gen.) Marcin […]rzewski [uncertain reading] – for the sum of twenty-eight Polish złoty together with the penalty obtained, adjudged by a decree of the present office issued between the well-born (Gen.) Wojciech Tchórzewski as plaintiff on the one side and that same party quitted on the other, and yielded up to him by that same well-born (Gen.) Wojciech Tchórzewski before the present records, and now in fact taken up; and the enforcement clause of the decree and the deed of cession he cancels.

[Autograph signature:] M. Kossowski

notes and marginalia The surname of the party quitted is illegible; the PTG tag for scan 57-037 gives it as „Marcin ....rzewski”, that is, it was illegible for the indexer as well – the gap has not been supplied. The entry shows the traffic in debts arising out of judgments: the plaintiff yielded up the adjudged sum to a third person, who levied it.

persons in the entry Michał Kossowski, acting also in the name of Michał Borkowski, his lord [uncertain reading], for whom he stands surety – the first party; Jan Domański – the second party; Michał Borkowski – in whose name the deposition was made

localities in the entry —

The well-born (Gen.) Michał Kossowski, in his own name and in the name of the well-born (Gen.) Michał Borkowski, his lord [uncertain reading], for whose ratification he stands surety, on the one side, and the noble (Nob.) Jan Domański on the other side, being of sound mind and body, deposed and acknowledged that mutually and reciprocally they and their successors — and namely the noble (Nob.) Domański that same well-born (Gen.) Borkowski, for a certain protestation made before the present records on account of certain claims — and for all and each of the claims which they had against one another up to this day, by reason of the settlement concluded, they give a quittance; and that same protestation they cancel.

[Autograph signature:] M. Kossewski

notes and marginalia In the manuscript the surname of Borkowski is written as „Barbowski”; the PTG tag for scan 57-040 gives „Michał Borkowski” – the reading of the tag has been accepted, the discrepancy noted. The designation of the relation between the deponent and Borkowski („domini sui” – his lord) has been read with uncertainty; if the reading is right, it would be a rare trace of a client dependence between noblemen.
