1 2 HISTORY OF RUNJEET SING'S FAMILY.
2 until the end of forty days. The child she bore was considered
3 by the Sansees as an adopted son of their race, and though he
4 was named Jaddoo Maun Buttee, they gave him the designa-
5 tion of Jaddoo Sansee, by which he was generally known to his
6 dying day. This is the commonly received account of the way
7 in which Jaddoo received the cognomen of Sansee ; but Scan-
8 dal whispers another tale, to the effect that he had a still
9 better claim to the appellation, as being really the son of one of
10 the tribe, and not of the simple Kauloo his reputed father.
11 About the year 1476, Kauloo, with his wife and only child,
12 removed from Sanseree to the small village of Sund (afterwards
13 called Sceende,) about a coss and a half from Drownkell, and
14 about four coss from Wuzeerabad. Here Kauloo died, some-
15 time about the year 1488. His reputed son Jaddoo Maun,
16 born in a Sansee camp, brought up in intimate acquain-

18 mode of life, generally resided among these people and
19 often accompanied them on their predatory excursions. In
20 one of these he was killed, about the year 1515, leaving
21 behind him an only son named Galeb or Gauleb, afterwards
22 nick-named Munnoo, from the large droves of cattle which
23 he used to drive away as his booty from the banks of the
24 Jhelum and Chinaub across the Ravee towards Lahore and
25 the Manjha country, where he generally disposed of his
26 plunder. This Gauleb, though probably a Veraich by caste, thus
27 headed a gang of plundering Sansees, until about the year 1549,
28 when he died at Sund, or Sceende, of wounds received in
29 one of his predatory excursions.
30 He left a son named Kiddoh, who being a man of quiet and
31 steady habits and a peaceable disposition, removed from Sceende
32 with some cattle, the only property left him by his father, first
33 to the village of Keallee, and afterwards, about the year 1555,
34 to Sukerchuck, then a very small village, one and a half
35 poss south of the present Gujerawalla. Here by perseverance
