Wólka Zastawska

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.

The village has been transcribed incompletely.

Card 2 is missing from the card index (numbering within the village). The card index numbers the cards of Wólka Zastawska 1) and 3); card 2) is missing — this is either the absence of the card itself or its having been filed elsewhere. What is missing cannot be said: all the sigla that are the rule in this series (T75, T89, T90, T94, T089, S87, O83, V48) stand on the two surviving cards, and the three hearth registers agree in giving 10 hearths each (T90 8+2, T89 2+8, T94 8+2), so no year looks cut short. Card 2) therefore carried either extracts outside this set (like MP or Ls.79 at Dębowierzchy), or a continuation that the surviving cards give no notice of. No total is made openly incomplete by this gap — except T75, which in any case does not divide Wólka from Zastawie.

One entry shared by two villages. The T75 entry on card 1) (item 1) covers this village together with the village of Zastawie — the register does not separate them. It stays on both cards in full, but it is counted once, at Zastawie; otherwise the year would count those hearths twice. That is why the table below has no T75 row here.

Offices: Markowski Józef (standard-bearer of the Mielnik Land (chorąży ziemi mielnickiej)

Propination, inns, breweries: Kłopocka Antonina (brewery, inn, propination); Markowski Józef (inn)

More than five hearths in one hand: Kłopocka Antonina (8); Stoiński (8)

spellings on the cards: Wólka Zastawska, Wolka Zastawska, Zastawska Wolka

Without an extract for 1775 — 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

MarkowskiJózef†standard-bearer of the Mielnik Land (chorąży ziemi mielnickiej)standard-bearer of Mielnik (chorąży mielnicki)

T89T89 – przyległość Tuchowic[z]a, Józefa Markowskiego chor. ziemi mieln. karcz., 1 chat. o 1 gosp. – 2 d.card 1)

The whole extract on card 1) is struck through with one horizontal stroke, together with the siglum „T89”; the content is repeated and extended on card 3) (entries 1 and 2 below). For that reason the hearths figure is empty — these 2 hearths are counted not by this entry but by entry 1 from card 3). Beneath the stroke the reading is made harder: I read the name „Tuchowica” or „Tuchowicza” [reading uncertain] (card 3) has clearly „Tuchowicza”), and the closing „– 2 d.” [reading uncertain] — the figure is underlined and cut across by the stroke of deletion, but it agrees with the arithmetic of card 3). Before „karcz.” card 1) sets no figure.

MarkowskiJózef†standard-bearer of the Mielnik Land (chorąży ziemi mielnickiej)standard-bearer of Mielnik (chorąży mielnicki)

T892 hearths1 inn, 1 cottagesT89 – przyległość Tuchowicza, Józefa Markowskiego, chor. ziemi mieln. – karcz., 1 chat. o 1 gosp. = 2 d.card 3)

Beside „karcz.” the card sets no figure; from the total „= 2 d.” one inn follows (1 inn + 1 cottage = 2) — the figure 1 is supplied from the arithmetic, not from the wording. „chor. ziemi mieln.” I expand as chorąży ziemi mielnickiej, standard-bearer of the Mielnik Land. The figure „1” before „gosp.” is written over a correction, with an additional oblique stroke [reading uncertain], but the arithmetic of the entry does not alter it. The figure 2 is underlined.

KłopockaAntonina

T898 hearths1 manor house, 1 brewery, 1 inn, 5 cottageshereditary owner– wieś dziedziczna Antoniny Kłopockiej – dwór, brow., karcz., 5 chat. o 1 gosp. = 8 d.card 3)

The breakdown closes: 1 manor house + 1 brewery + 1 inn + 5 cottages = 8. Beside „dwór”, „brow.” and „karcz.” the card sets no figures — the ones follow from the total. A woman: the surname written in the feminine form („Antoniny Kłopockiej”), in the nominative Antonina Kłopocka. She is the only person of this village besides the Markowskis and the Stoińskis; in O83 (1783) and T94 (1794) the successors of Stoiński stand on the same eight-hearth holding. The figure 8 is underlined.

KłopockaAntonina

T₀89propination (the right to sell drink)T089 Wólka Zastawska – Antoniny Kłopockiej: – propinacja.card 1)

Below this line, centred, stands a struck-out cross-reference „patrz Zastawie.” — the copyist at first referred the 1789 extract to the neighbouring village, then struck the cross-reference out and entered the possessor directly. I read the surname „Kłopockiej” (nominative: Kłopocka) — the letters are legible, although the line is cut across by faint traces of an offset from the neighbouring card, which at first sight look like a striking out; under magnification it can be seen that there is no deletion here. A woman: the feminine form of the surname in the genitive. The card gives neither hearths (with T₀89 there are none as a rule), nor an office, nor a legal status — nothing but the surname and the propination.

1794 T94Hearth tax register 1794

Stoiński†

T948 hearthssuccessors† deceasedT94 – folwark Wolka Zastawska, przyległość wsi Zastawia sukcesorów Stoińskiego, 8 dymów;card 3)

The card gives no forename — the surname alone; O83 (IX) adds the office („podczaszego łukowskiego”), but I do not merge the years, and so I do not enter the office here. The card gives no total for the year — the two entries together give 10 hearths.

Markowski†

T942 hearthssuccessors† deceased– część na Wolce Zastawskiej, dobra Tuchowicz sukcesorów Markowskiego, 2 dymy;card 3)

The card gives no forename; from T89 it is known that five years earlier this holding was held by Józef Markowski, standard-bearer of the Mielnik Land, but the wording of T94 itself stops at the surname, and so I do not supply the forename.
