<p class="C1">&#65279K&#256HN SI&#7748GH (d.1846), son of Pañj&#257b Si&#7749gh of Gharj&#257kh, in Gujr&#257&#7749w&#257l&#257 district, joined Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh's army and was sent to Pi&#7751&#7693&#299 Gheb in command of 500 horse. He remained there for nine years when he was recalled and placed under General Har&#299 Si&#7749gh Nalv&#257. K&#257hn Si&#7749gh accompanied Har&#299 Si&#7749gh on his numerous expeditions. He fought in the campaign against the Y&#363safza&#299 tribes on the northwest frontier in 1831. In 1834, he accompanied General M&#299h&#257&#7749 Si&#7749gh, the newly appointed governor of Kashm&#299r. K&#257hn Si&#7749gh returned after three years to Lahore with a considerable fortune. His son, Lahi&#7751&#257 Si&#7749gh, married the daughter of his old commander Har&#299 Si&#7749gh Nalv&#257, who took his son-in-law with him to Pesh&#257war in the campaign of 1837 in which the great general was killed. During the reigns of Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Kha&#7771ak Si&#7749gh and Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Sher Si&#7749gh, K&#257hn Si&#7749gh and his three sons ---- Fateh Si&#7749gh, Jodh Si&#7749gh Lahi&#7751&#257 Si&#7749gh were treated with favour and received military appointments but when R&#257j&#257 H&#299r&#257 Si&#7749gh rose to power, trouble came upon the family and not until Jaw&#257har Si&#7749gh became minister did it regain its former position.</p>
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;	K&#257hn Si&#7749gh was killed by a musket-shot in 1846 during the first Anglo-Sikh war.</p>
