Summary/Abstract: The following article aims at correcting the existing historiographical records regarding the genealogy of the Chodecki Family of the Ogon coat of arms. The author claims that the Treasurer of the Crown Andrzej Miłośnik of Lubin, Umień and Chocz, the ancestor of the Chodecki family of the Ogon coat of arm; the starost of Halych Land Mikołaj Parawa; and Jakub Kuropłoch of Burzenin were not the sons of Andrzej of Lubin, the pantler of Dobrzyń, but rather they were the sons of Dobiesław of Lubin and Umień, the judge of Dobrzyń. Piotr of Górki and Lubin was, in turn, their eldest brother and thus the judge’s first‑born son. Moreover, Dobiesław of Umień and Lubin, the Lesser Standard‑bearer of Dobrzyń; Marcin of Umień, the Deputy District Judge of Łęczyca; Paweł of Umień; and Elżbieta, wife to the Castellan of Sandomierz, Klemens Wątróbka of Strzelce. There can be no doubt that judge Dobiesław was married twice. His children from the first marriage included: Piotr of Górki and Lubin, Andrzej Miłośnik, Mikołaj Parawa, and Jakub Kuropłoch. His second wife, Świętochna, the widow of Mikołaj of Tumusin, bore Dobiesław three children: Dobiesław, Marcin, and Paweł. His daughter Elżbieta, in turn, was born most probably as a result of his short relationship that took place between the death of his first wife and his marriage to Świętosława. However, since Elżbieta could have been born of Świętosława, it is impossible to disregard that possibility. In addition, “Andrzej of Lubin of the Ogon coat of arms,” the pantler of Dobrzyń between 1402—1414 appears to be a fictional person, who has been commonly confused with Andrzej of Starorypin, a brother to Jan Rasz; Eberhard, the rector of Rypin; and Piotr of Bieganów.
