From the Uniate MK of the village Mokre (near Niemkowicze), stored in RGIA (St. Petersburg) for 1776-1801, there are records about the inhabitants of the village Niemkowicze.

-

From the “Income Tax Register” of 1775, Niemkowicze and Kuszle together had 15 farms and were listed under Pan Sawicki. He was a lieutenant in the royal service. Before 1775 Sawicki gave the villages of Niemkowicze and Kuszli (also his other holdings Czarnolozy, Krasne, Pieski, Klepaczy) into long-term lease to the strażnikowicza (guard?) of Owrucki surname Jelski. However, there may be a letter error in the documents and it could be stolnikowicza (stolnik), in which case we could assume that we are talking about Ignacy Jelski, who was promoted in 1775 to flag bearer (flagman) of the Lithuanian First Guard. Later a major of the Kingdom of Poland, died in 1820; he was the son of Stolnik owrucki Maciej Jelski. Further in history, Niemkowicze was always owned by several noble families.

+ + It is worth noting that the Savitsky family had long been settled in those territories and owned estates there, including Cherno Lozy in 1574. This is confirmed by a letter (complaint) from that year addressed to Pan Khodkevich by Jan Lesnevsky regarding the late Matthias Savitsky. In it, Cherno Lozy is mentioned as being in the possession of the Savitsky family.

+ > Servant Jan Leśniowski complains to Grand Marshal of Lithuania Jan Chodkiewicz regarding the case of the late Zhalinska, stating that the late Matys Sawicki, Grand Clerk of Lithuania, “thoughtlessly enriches people who could be of no use to him or to the Commonwealth.” The late Zhilinskaya perceives the late Sawicki’s actions as a personal injury inflicted upon her late husband, Zhalinsky. This document mentions the Charnalozy estate, which was granted to Matys Sawicki, and that he had a wife. + +
