Abstract

The aim of the study is to study the family history of one of the prominent figures of the Cossack elite, the starosta of Nosivka, the Korsun colonel and the hetman – Hrygoriy Hulyanytsky. He and his family was forced to move to the territory of Przemyśl land in the late 1660s – early 1670s and settled in the village Tershove near Sambir. Hrygoriy married Anna Khmelnytska Pashkevych. Thus he became related to Khmelnytsky. Spouses are buried in the Lavrovsky monastery near town Staryj Sambir. The descendants of Hrygoriy and Anna are represented by three generations who, by the middle of the 18th century, lived on the territory of Przemyśl and Sanok lands. Hrygoriy and Anna had four sons (Ivan, George / Yuri, Olexandr, Hrygoriy) and four daughters (Anna, Anastasia, Marianna, Catherine). Ivan (1676–1703) inherited the title of starosta of Nosivka from his father, lived at the royal court in his youth and served in the army. He married twice. His descendants moved to the Sanok land. They are known by the middle of the 18th century. George / Yuri (1681–1697) served as Crown Cupbearer in Gostyn. He had three sons and a daughter. They also lived in the Sanok land in the first half of the 18th century. Olexandr (1690–1718) remained in Tershove in Przemyśl land. In his youth, he served in the army. His successor was his son Joseph, Royal Cupbearer in Busk (since 1728). Their marriages, economic activities, social intentions show, that they were fully integrated into the local gentry society. The daughters and sons of Hrygoriy intermarried with the local gentry families. Grandchildren from the son of Olexandr, who continued to live in the Przemyśl region, adhered to a similar marriage policy. But the descendants of Ivan / Jan and George / Yuri, once in the Sanok land, intermarried with the local Catholic gentry. Sons and grandchildren of Hrygoriy tried to realize themselves in the public sphere. However, none of them reached the level of their father and grandfather. Their activities did not go beyond the usual models of social practices adopted in the local noble environment. That is, these are attempts to be realized in the military and yard service, sporadic participation in the local noble sejmyk and the receiving of reputable positions in district governments as a marker of a certain social status.
