<p class="C1">&#65279MIRZ&#256 SI&#7748GH (d. 1787), was son of Ch&#363ha&#7771 Si&#7749gh, a Shergil Ja&#7789&#7789. One of his ancestors, Chaudhar&#299 Sarv&#257n&#299, had founded the village of Nausher&#257, also known as R&#257ipur Sarv&#257n&#299, during the reign of Emperor Sh&#257h Jah&#257n and was permitted to hold it rent free as remuneration for collecting the revenue of the neighbouring districts. For generations, the family held the office of <i>chaudhar&#299at</i> paying the revenue into the government treasury until Mirz&#257 Si&#7749gh, about 1752, joined the Kanhaiy&#257 <i>misl</i> under Sard&#257rs Jai Si&#7749gh and Haq&#299qat Si&#7749gh, and received from them several villages as his share of the conquered territory. Mirz&#257 Si&#7749gh died in 1787, and Haqiqat Si&#7749gh's son, Jaimal Si&#7749gh, resumed the major portion of his estates.</p>
