Sushkov

According to family tradition, it originates from the Tatar Murza who came out of the Golden Horde , who accepted the Orthodox faith, married a Russian native of Smolensk province , where he settled with her. This could be at the end of the XIII and no later than the first half of the XIV century, since in the XV century the Sushkovs had already managed to multiply significantly. The diploma of the Grand Duke Vasily Ivanovich (1511), three brothers - Dmitry, Yakov and Andrey, the children of Ignatius Sushkov, granted eighteen populated villages in Yeroslavl in Edom, in the Ilinsky camp . These three brothers, according to one old narrative, “returned from Lyakhov,” that is, they came from an area under temporary Polish-Lithuanian authority (Smolensk was taken back by the Russians for the first time in 1514). Of these three brothers, Dmitry died childless, the Jacob family ceased in the ninth generation, and descendants from Andrei who were included in the sixth part of the noble genealogy of the provinces: Yaroslavl, Moscow ^[3] , Penza and Poltava provinces ^[1] remain from Andrei.

In the Smolensk province there are several villages and folk farms called by the name of Sushkovs. At the beginning of the XVII century, many of the Sushkovs were sent from Smolensk, according to royal orders, among other "Smolensk gentry from the noble and noble families", to the order of the Kazan Palace , for distribution to the regiments on the eastern outskirts of the state, with revolt in those areas of estates and salaries.

Thus, the landowners Sushkova appeared in the provinces of Kazan, Ryazan and Voronezh. In the 16th century, Sushkov was granted the inhabited estates in Yaroslavl governorate. All these branches of the Sushkov family, as well as the Sushkovs who lived in the Shevsky Voivodeship, owned their hereditary estates for many generations. At the beginning of the XIX century, many of them were attributed to a single-yard salary, although some of these Sushkovs continued to own part of their hereditary estates. The Department of Heroldia recognized all these persons as having lost the right of the nobility and granted them, on the basis of the decree of November 16, 1816, to acquire the return of noble dignity through military service.

Many Sushkovs managed to return their right to the nobility as servants of ranks in the service and enrolled with their offspring, in different provinces, in the second and third parts of noble genealogical books . Only one Yaroslavl branch of the Sushkov family retained the right to their ancient noble dignity.

The great-grandson of Andrei Sushkov, Timofey Vasilievich, was granted two more estates in the same Yaroslavl area with a certificate of Tsar Fedor Ivanovich , dated April 18, 1591 . Later, with the import certificates of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich , dated April 21, 1621 , and Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich , dated August 30, 1648, the inheritance rights of estates for the descendants of Timofey Vasilievich were approved.

The Sushkovs of the Yaroslavl industry simultaneously owned estates in the provinces: Novgorod, Moscow, Tula, Nizhny Novgorod, Ryazan , Penza, Simbirsk, Saratov, Ufa, Astrakhan, Poltava and Ekaterinoslav. In the provinces: Smolenskaya, where the Sushkov family came from, and Yaroslavskaya, where it was originally included in the sixth part of the noble genealogy of the book, there was no one left in this branch of the Sushkovs.
