<p class="C1">&#65279JODH SI&#7748GH (d. 1874), a colonel in the army of Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh and the son of Jai Si&#7749gh, was a descendant of the M&#257n family of Mu<u>gh</u>al Chakk. This family originated from one Laddh&#257, who, having shifted from Delhi, laid the foundation of a small village of M&#257n in the suburbs of Gujr&#257&#7749w&#257l&#257 where he had settled. He was appointed headman of twenty-two villages around it which rank lasted long with the family. Jodh Si&#7749gh's grandfather, Sarj&#257 Si&#7749gh, was an ally of Cha&#7771hat Si&#7749gh Sukkarchakk&#299&#257. The M&#257n family achieved great honour and influence under Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh and almost twenty-two members of it held trustworthy military posts. During the Anglo-Sikh war of 1848-49, Jodh Si&#7749gh fought against the British, but before long came back to Lahore. <i>J&#257g&#299rs</i> of this branch of the family were confiscated by the British government after the Punjab was annexed. Jodh Si&#7749gh was, however, granted a pension of rupees seven hundred and twenty. He died in 1874.</p>
