I had thought that this record might record the death of Jakub Chodkowski, son of Tomasz Chodkowski and Agnieszka Kuligowska, but there are some discrepencies. Jakub Chodkowski, son of Tomasz Chodkowski and Agnieszka Kuligowska, was married twice with several children. The Jakub Chodkowski in this record was a bachelor apparently fromt he village of Ozkarzewo Pańki. Therefore, I conclude that this is not the Jakub Chodkowski I thought it was.
