OF ARMS

In XVII century, the first known ancestor
of Generation XI, Pawel Ossowski with his
wife Zofia Orlowska, purchased in 1638
the estate of Neloyevskoye of Brest
Province, off the Niepokojczyckis,
Grigory and Ivan. Pawel had one son,
Yakub Ossowski. Besides his father's
estate, Yakub also owned the folwark of
Yagolki Kislye in Brest Province, which
he had bought in 1716 from the Lesecki.
With his wife Katerina Baratynska, he had
three sons (Simon, Andrzej and Mateusz).
It is not known what had happened of two
sons of Yakub (Simon and Andrzej). In the
genealogical book of Ossowski, they are
present on the tree, but no further
information is given about them. In the
Armorial of the Belarusian Gentry, they
are not mentioned at all as descendants
of Yakub.

Mateusz Ossowski was born in 1715, most
likely in the patrimonial estate
of Neloyevskoye. Continuing the tradition
set by his father and grandfather, he
went on to purchase new lands. In 1754,
he bought from Grabowski the folwark of
Shylin in Brest Voivodeship; three years
later, he became the mortgage owner of
the Ovzichi folwark in Brest District
from the Ludwik Orzeszko, the Podstoli of
1 Pinsk; in 1760, he bought the Litevsk
folwark from Anton Orzeszko, the Marshal
of Pinsk. In 1766, by privilege of King
Stanislav Augustus, he was granted the
title of the Wenden Game-keeper. With his
wife Theresia Zdzitowiecka, he had two
sons, Ivan and Antoni, and a daughter
Anna. Another Mateusz's son Augustin is
listed in the family tree, but we know
nothing about his fate. Most likely, he
died as an infant, so he was placed onto
the Ossowski genealogy tree, but was not
reflected in the pedigree of the
confirmed nobility.
