v1.c30.21

² [Gohad (Gohud) lies between Etāwah (Itāwa) and Gwālior, twenty-eight miles north-east of the latter. The chief, originally an obscure Jāt landholder, rose to power during the confusion of the eighteenth century, and allied himself with the British in 1789 (Thornton, Gazetteer, s.v. ‘Gohad,’ quoted in Sleeman’s Rambles, &c., ed. V. A. Smith, 1915, p. 270). Gohad was ceded to Sindia by Sir George Barlow, according to an arrangement made in 1805, during the brief and inglorious second term of office of Lord Cornwallis.]
