Buksh seized seven fine villages belonging to the family of Bakur Allee Khan, which they had held for many generations.  He, Gunga Buksh, now holds no less than twenty-seven villages, all seized in the same manner, after the plunder and murder of their old proprietors.  The whole of this family, descendants of Khumma Rawut, hold no less than two hundred villages and hamlets, all taken in the same manner from the old proprietors, with the acquiescence or connivance of the local authorities, who were either too weak or too corrupt to punish them, and restore the villages to their proper owners.*

[* Kundee Sing had two sons, 1.  Cheytun Sing; 2.  Ajeet Sing.  Cheytun Sing had two sons, 1.  Sophul Sing; 2.  Thakurpurshad.  Sophul Sing had two sons, 1.  Keerut Sing; 2.  Jote Sing.  Ajeet Sing had two sons, 1.  Bhugwunt Sing; 2.  Rutun Sing.  Thakur Purshad, Bhugwunt Sing, and Rutun Sing, reside in a fort which they have built in Bhetae, four miles from Dewa, in the north-west border of the belt of jungle.  They hold forty villages, besides hamlets, which they have taken from the old proprietors of the Dewa and Korsee estates.  Thakur Purshad has another fort called Buldeogur, near that of Atursae, two coss south of Dewa; and Bhugwunt Sing has the small fort of Munmutpore, close to Bhetae.  Bukta Sing had only one son, Bisram Sing, who had only one son, Gunga Buksh, who built the fort of Kasimgunge, on the north-eastern border of the same belt of jungle, two miles south of Dewa, and on the death of his father, he went to reside in it with his family and gang.  He holds twenty-seven fine villages, with hamlets.  Twenty of these he seized upon from six to twelve years ago; and the other seven he got after the attack upon Dewa, in October last.  He has also a fort called Atursae, two coss south from Dewa; a mile west from Buldeogur.  Alum Sing’s descendants have remained peaceable cultivators of the soil in Dewa, and are, consequently, of too little note for a place in the genealogical table of the family.

Lalsahae had three sons, 1.  Dheer Sing; 2.  Bustee Sing; 3.  Gokul Sing, all dead.  Dheer Sing had two sons, Omed Sing and Jowahir Sing.  Omed Sing had three sons, Dirgpaul Sing, Maheput Sing, and Gungadhur, who was murdered by Thakur Pershad, his cousin.  Jowahir Sing had one son, Priteepaul Sing.  Bustee Sing had two sons, Girwur Sing and Soulee Sing.  Girwur Sing had two sons, Dhokul Sing and Shunker Sing.  This branch of the family hold the forts of Ramgura and Paharpore, on the border of the jungle six miles south-west from Dewa, and twelve villages besides hamlets taken in the same manner from the old proprietors.  Gokul Sing had two sons, Dulloo Sing and Soophul Sing.  Dulloo Sing has one son.  They reside with the families of Dheer Sing and Bustee Sing.

Misree Sing, the fifth son of Khumma, had three sons, 1.  Boneead Sing; 2.  Dureeao Sing; 3. name forgotten—­all three are dead.  Bonead Sing had two sons, 1.  Anoop Sing; 2.  Goorbuksh Sing.  Dureeao Sing had two sons, 1.  Anokee Sing; 2. name forgotten.  The third son of Misree Sing had three sons, 1.  Mulung Sing; 2.  Anunt Sing; 3. name forgotten—­all three still live.
