Hearth Tax Registers of the Łuków Land 1775–1794

Gozd

Parish of Tuchowicz, łukowski county.

Dear reader, remember that this is an AI study, that it may contain errors; treat it as indicative and verify it for yourself.

An entry on this card belongs to another village. Card 1) (T89, entry 2) lists separately the hearths of this village and separately the hearths of its appurtenances — the villages of Niedźwiadka and Kij. That second figure is written down here, but those hearths do not lie here, so they do not enter this village’s total: they count with the village of Niedźwiadka. The card itself underlines both figures separately and nowhere adds them up.

Offices: Domaszewski Franciszek (son of the treasurer of Łuków (skarbnikiewicz łukowski) · son of the treasurer of the Łuków Land (skarbnikowicz ziemi łukowskiej)); Domaszewski Paweł (pantler of the Land and deputy castle starost of Łuków (stolnik ziemi i podstarosta grodzki łukowski) · pantler of Łuków (stolnik łukowski); Domaszewski Stefan (treasurer of Łuków (skarbnik łukowski)

Propination, inns, breweries: Domaszewski Franciszek (brewery, inn, propination); Domaszewski Paweł (brewery, inn, propination)

More than five hearths in one hand: Domaszewski Franciszek (20)

These years count more here than the locality itself: 1775 — Gozd with its appurtenances. Such a figure must not be set beside the other years as two measurements of the same locality — these are different units of account, not a loss of hearths.

Caveats on the years' registers (1)

What the compiler noted beside the entry itself, and what the table above does not show:

  • T89 — The card does NOT give a joint total for this entry: it gives two separately underlined figures, „= 21 d.” (at Gozd) and „= 11 d.” (at Kij and Niedźwiadka), and adds nothing beneath them. Hence the total from the card remains empty; this is not in itself a gap in the reading. Both figures agree with the buildings set out, to a single hearth (1+1+1+15+3 = 21; 1+1+1+6+2 = 11). The phrase „w opiece Pawła Domaszewskiego, stolnika ziemi i podstar. grodz. Łukow.” is an addition in black ink above the line, underlined, with a long reference mark which curves downward and points to the place of insertion in the blue line — after „skarbnikiewicza łukowskiego”, before „z przyległościami”. This is an INSERTION, not a deletion: the stroke runs beneath the addition and not through its letters, and it ends in a hook beside the „(” inserted into the line below. After the words „i Niedźwiadka” there stands one more word before the colon, read as „z takową” [reading uncertain] — the last letters are effaced, checked at tenfold magnification with sharpening.

The card-index entries

Every extract for this locality in the wording of the cards, year by year. One block is one occurrence: this person, in this year. At a collective item the same card text stands beside every person named — because the card names them together and they must not be separated. The hearths given at a collective item are an equal division among those named, not a reading.

A list of possessors for 1789 — without hearths, hence the hearths figure is empty. The village is not divided here into holdings: one entry for the whole village. „mał[o]letniego” — the card writes „ma” + a „ł” raised above the line + „letniego”, that is a contracted „małoletniego” [reading uncertain as to the manner of the abbreviation, the sense unambiguous]. „stolnika” the card writes with a contracted „ol” (it looks like „stłnika”); I expand it after card 1), where the same Paweł Domaszewski is „stolnikiem ziemi”. The abbreviation „w pos.” = „w posesji”, in possession; „wś.” = „wieś”, village — neither of them do I expand in the text. Propination is stated outright.

The figure 20 concerns the grange of Gozd itself („dymów wiejskich 2giej klasy”), not the whole estate — the appurtenances (Niedźwiadka, Kij) the card names in brackets, but it gives no separate figures for them in this extract. The formula „dymów wiejskich 2giej klasy” runs just as it does at Annonin (card) and Lipniaki (card 1). Franciszek Domaszewski is here the hereditary owner and not the possessor; Paweł Domaszewski appears as his guardian, not as the owner. The abbreviated forename „Franc.” I expand on the basis of the T89 of the same card, where the full „Franciszka” stands.

The figure 20 concerns the grange of Gozd itself, not the whole estate — the appurtenances (Niedźwiadka, Kij) the card names by name, but it gives no separate figures for them. The result agrees to the single hearth with T90 on card 1) (the grange of Gozd — 20 dymów wiejskich 2giej klasy). The figure 20 is not underlined on the card. In this extract the card gives beside Franciszek Domaszewski neither an office nor any mention of a guardian.

O83 O83A description of 1783 [the expansion of the siglum to be confirmed]

DomaszewskiStefantreasurer of Łuków (skarbnik łukowski)
O83hereditary ownerO83(IX) – wieś Stefana Domaszewskiego, skarbnika łukowskiego;card 2)
A short characterisation of the village; it gives neither figures nor a list of holdings, hence the hearths figure is empty. The siglum is written „O83(IX)” — the Roman numeral in brackets is underlined. IMPORTANT: this is the only place in the two Gozd cards where the forename STEFAN falls; all the remaining extracts (T89, T90, T94, T₀89) speak of Franciszek Domaszewski, „skarbnikowicz/skarbnikiewicz” of Łuków. There is no contradiction here: „skarbnikowicz” is the son of a treasurer, and so O83 records the father, the office-holder, while the registers of 1789–1794 record the son, by then a minor under the guardianship of Paweł Domaszewski. I do not merge these persons and I do not correct either of the forenames.
