Trzebieszów

Parish of Trzebieszów, 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.

Town or village — what the card index says

The card index calls Trzebieszów a small town („MP – miasteczko – seat of the leasehold”), but it NEVER HELD TOWN RIGHTS: from the first mention in 1418 it appears in the sources as a royal village, and in the reform of 1869–1870, which stripped several dozen small towns of the Kingdom of their rights, it does not appear at all. We leave the card index entry untouched and record the discrepancy. On the map it carries the symbol of a village that is the seat of a parish, not the symbol of a small town.

Offices: Szaniawski Maksymiljan (canon of Płock (kanonik płocki), dean, civil-military commissioner of the Łuków Land); Zakrzewski Michał (son of the castellan of Ląd (kasztelanic lędzki) [reading uncertain], starost of Trzebieszów, civil-military commissioner of the Łuków Land)

Propination, inns, breweries: Zakrzewski Michał (brewery, inn, mill)

More than five hearths in one hand: Zakrzewski Michał (72); Szaniawski Maksymiljan (14)

Extracts from outside the registers

Records under sigla which the card index does not expand. They give no hearths, so they enter no total.

Without an extract for 1794 — no card of this village carries that tariff. It is a missing extract in the card index, not a gap in the numbering of the cards.

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.

1789 T89Hearth tax register 1789

T8972 hearths1 manor house, 1 brewery, 2 inn, 1 mill, 67 cottagesT89 - wieś królewska, Zakrzewskiego „emfiteutyczna” dwór, brow., 2 karcz., młyn, 56 chat. o 1 gosp., 2 chat. bez gruntu i ogrodu, 5 chat. pustych, [wyraz nieodczytany] 4 chat. o 1 gosp.; = 72 dymy.card ad1)
The card gives no forename in this line — only „Zakrzewskiego”; T90 on card 1) calls the possessor of the starosty Michał Zakrzewski, but I do not merge the years. The village is held in emphyteusis: the word „emfiteutyczna” the card index took into quotation marks, so it probably quotes the register. The breakdown of the cottages: 56 with 1 householder + 2 without land or garden + 5 empty + 4 with 1 householder = 67, together with the manor house, the brewery, the two inns and the mill 72 — which agrees with the total underlined on the card. Before the last group („4 chat. o 1 gosp.”) stands a word which I do not read: on the line it looks like „żamie…”, and below the author repeated it in black ink within a border — there it reads roughly „za?tupich” / „zastępich” [reading uncertain]; it requires inspection of the original.

1790 T90Hearth tax register 1790

„kasztelanica” — the syllable „nica” added above the line in black ink; in the basic text stood „kasztela[na]”; the reading is confirmed by card 2), where the same word is written more fully. The adjective on this card looks like „lęckiego” (the letter without a stroke, and so not „łęckiego”), on card 2) like „lędzkiego”; I accept the office „kasztelanic lędzki” [reading uncertain] — to be resolved on the original. „w tem (?) 1 przybyło po r. 1789” — the question mark in brackets was set by the author of the card index himself; the number of hearths added is read as 1 [reading uncertain].

„x.” = ksiądz, priest. The surname read as „Szaniawskiego” — the digraph „Sz” the same as in „Szpital” on the same card.
