In Trouble with the Law (Part 1 of 18)

There’s one in every family – someone who runs afoul of the law.  In my case, I found not one, but four direct ancestors who were called into court to face charges leveled by one of their neighbors. To make matters worse, a plethora of my cousins were also called into court to testify in the case. The case was brought to court in the year 1756 in what at that time was the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and continued into the year 1757. Evidence presented in the case dated as far back as 1639.

The court records, preserved in the Archiwum Główne Akt Dawnych w Warszawie (Archives of Ancient Documents in Warsaw) were discovered last year by my cousin Christa Shukaitis. While the records do not relate directly to her own family, she recognized that this was an important document about my ancestors, specifically my 5th great grandparents Ignacy Niedziałkowski and Zofia Kamińska and my 6th great grandparents Mateusz Krzysztof Niedziałkowski and Konstancja Żaboklicka. The document was written in Latin and neither of us could read it. Fortunately, a friend and fellow genealogist in Poland, Adam Pszczółkowski, translated the record into Polish. Now, I’m translating the Polish into English. This double translation is not without its faults, however. I hope that the meaning of the original is not significantly distorted by these efforts.

The record occupies 18 pages in the “Ciechanowskie Grodzkie Wieczyste”, catalog no. 107, pages 51 recto – 59 verso. Because of the length of the document, I will attempt to translate it one page at a time. Thus, the translation will take over two weeks. While the bulk of the record deals with the evidence in the case, the verdict is revealed only on the final page. So, what were the charges against my 5th and 6th great grandparents? Were they found innocent or guilty? Besides the case itself, what else can I learn about my ancestors?

Let’s begin with the first page, “Ciechanowskie Grodzkie Wieczyste”, sygn.107, k.51r:

Translated from Latin to Polish, and then from Polish to English, the record states:

Being the amicable settlement of the Oblates in Klonowo by Zygmunt Grabowski, magistrate of Ciechanów Ziemia and Wojciech Grabowski.

This happened on the lands of the Klonowo estates on Monday on the eve of the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle in the year of our Lord 1756, in the presence of the well-born and noble (that is, the nobleman) Stanisław Grabowski underwriter of Ciechanów, Paweł and Tomasz Łaguna, both municipal burgraves of Ciechanów, Józef Kamiński, Ignacy Kołakowski and others, also the usher of the court administrator Maciej Umiemski.

Klonowo

Based on the judgment of the court of the Ciechanów Ziemia, announced in the Ciechanów negotiations, on the Thursday after the ninth Sunday before Easter this year, the parties were required to carry out a settlement on the lands of the Klonowo estates.  Parties in the matter are the nobles:
– Wojciech Grabowski, the principal plaintiff and defendant present in person,

Józef Milewski was the nephew of the husband of my 2nd cousin 4X removed, Marianna Chodkowska. Although the clerk stated that this was the death record of Wincenty, this record must have recorded the death of Józef Milewski, not Wincenty Milewski .  Wincenty died on 15 Jan 1853. The only child of Jakub Milewska and Franciszka Suwińska who was the correct age at the time of this death was Józef.
