The eighth descendant of S. Dáúd was S. Khán Qír (?) (خان قير). He had four sons— 1. Sayyid ’Umar Shahid, who settled in Jansath, a village then inhabited by Jats and Brahmins. To his descendants belong the renowned brothers mentioned on p. 392, (9). The occurrence of the name ’Umar shews that he, at any rate, was no Shi’ah.
2. Sayyid Chaman, who settled at Chatorah, in the Parganah of Joli-Jansath. To his descendants belongs S. Jalál, who during the reign of Shahjahán is said to have founded K’harwah Jalálpúr in ‘Iláqah Sirdhanah, district Mirat’h. His son S. Shams left the imperial service; hence the family declined. He had two sons, Asad ’Alí and ’Alí Asghar, whose descendants still exist in Chatorah and Jalalpur respectively. They are very poor, and sold in 1843-44 the bricks of the ruined family dwellings in Chatorah for Rs. 10,000, to the Government for the construction of works of irrigation. The buildings in Chatorah are ascribed to S. Muhammad Qalab Khán, who served in Audh, and died childless.
3. Yusuf, whose posterity is to be found in Bihari and Dhainah (one MS. Dahnah).
IV. and V. S. Ján and S. Mán, had no offspring.
VI. S. Nasíruddín. To his descendants belongs S. Khán Jahán i Shahjahání, p. 392 (d.). On him the Sayyids appear to look as the second founder of their family. His first son, S. Mansúr built Mansúrpúr, and his descendant hold now-a-days Mansúrpúr and K’hataulí; his second son Muzaffar Khán [Sher Zamán] built Muzaffarnagar, where his descendants still exist, though poor or involved.
4. Sayyid Ahmad. He settled at Kawál in Joli-Jánsath, where his descendants still are. The MSS. mention Tatár Khán, and Díwán Yár Muhammad Khán as having distinguished themselves in the reign of Aurangzíb.
