In the scarlet field are three overturned silver arrows in a star, tied with a gold ribbon.

Originally settled near Uman , along with Kochubey and Lukomsky .

Family legend says that Fyodor Skoropadsky , who was evicted from Poland, served in the army of Hetman Bogdan Khmelnitsky , was killed in the Battle of Yellow Waters , and that his son Ilya was a general referendum. The documentary history of the Skoropadsky family begins with the sons of Ilya - Ivan , Vasily and Paul . When Uman was ravaged by the Turks (1764), the two elder Skoropadskys moved to the left bank of the Dnieper, and the third was captured by the Turks, after 30 years was found in captivity, at the request of his older brother, one Cossack returned to his homeland, older brother , at that time hetman, he was appointed to one insignificant post, having received a small manning in the possession. The last representative of the Pavel’s family (married in captivity to a Turkish woman), tonsured monks, transferred his inheritance to his cousins, the sons of Basil .

a) Vasily Skoropadsky and his offspring. Vasily received promotions following the promotions of Ilya's older brother; was a Berezinsky centurion, and then made a Chernigov regimental convoy, bought a lot of land in different places of the Chernigov regiment, built mills on them, planted settlements (there were many villages behind him in the current Sosnitsky district). From his brother were received and manor, which in 1718 secured by the royal letter; he died in 1727. Of his sons, Ivan and Mikhail , the first one remained somehow unknown, and Mikhail Skoropadsky later became one of the important officials. His children - Ivan , Jacob and Peter graduated from the course at the Kiev Academy. A few years after the death of his father, the first received the rank of general esaul, and the second - of the buncheon. In 1762, Ivan refused to sign a petition for the provision of a hetman's mace through the hereditary line of the surname of gr. Razumovsky; in 1767 he was elected to the Commission to draw up a new code. Heading at that time Little Russian affairs gr. Rumyantsev wrote about Catherine II about Ivan Skoropadsky , that “under all sciences ... he remained a Cossack,” another time (Feb. 27, 1768) —that “Skoropadsky was the leader of all the others, for he dreamed of being elected to hetman”. According to Catherine II’s response, in a letter to Rumyantsev, “Skoropadsky behaves (in the capital) like a wolf, and does not want to know any of ours”; mind. he is in 1782

b) Anastasia Markovna Skoropadskaya (nee Markovich), the second wife of Ivan Skoropadsky - hetman, the former widow of the bunny Konstantin Golub. She fell to be the first female Little Russian in the role of a high-born lady, in the living room of the Hetman's house, who opened a reception for important guests - St. Petersburg and Moscow officials. Her living room became a deliberation room, where government orders and plans were predetermined. She herself went to the capital more than once, introduced herself to dignitaries. When Peter I, from political calculations, began to marry Skoropadskaya’s daughter for the son of Count P.A. Tolstoy, Skoropadskaya (1716) turned to Ekaterina Alekseevna with a request that they be appointed from the sovereign to give her daughter a dowry. The request has been granted. The son-in-law of Skoropadskaya was appointed colonel to Nizhyn. In 1722, the hetman was in Moscow and congratulated on the Nishtad peace; was with him and the hetman, with her special retinue. In 1729, Skoropadskaya, already a widow, was in Moscow for the last time and again asked the Empress for new things to live for herself and her widowed daughter by that time. She was forced to do this partly because she was harassed by the new hetman of the Apostle, taking advantage of the fact that the Skoropadsky family was somewhat “suspicious” then, as was attributable to the name of the Polubotok surname. Before going to Moscow herself, Skoropadskaya sent letters there to important people with her nephew, Yakov Markovich, who went to work together for her father Andrei, Lukomsky colonel, who was also “in suspicion”. This Yakov Markovich, a bunker comrade, a very educated man of that time, who studied abroad, left behind an extremely curious diary. Incidentally, in this diary the name of the hetmansha can be found on almost every page, as the name that played a large role in Little Russian society. The husband’s weak character was especially emphasized by the liveliness, sociability of the character and the energy of the hetman.
