The membership among the representatives of the service class bureaucracy, who carried on the description of the land allotments and general census of the population during the 17th century, wasn’t invariable. The first General Cadaster is notable for the participation in it of the significant number of high rank clerks and scriveners with considerable service experience. By the end of the century, we can observe the increase of the Landownership Department staff who, were connected with similar activity on professional basis exclusively.

Analyze Data

We analyze data on the ranks of service class people in the cities and counties of the southern frontier of Russia in 1676/77. We identify 39 cities with and without counties, which can undoubtedly be attributed to the southern frontier. We raise the problem of determining the north-ern border of the southern Russian frontier in the 2nd half of the 17th century. We identify thirteen ranks of service class people of the urban service. We considered the distribution of thirteen ranks in 39 cities. Based on the obtained data, we calculate the number of ranks in each city/county. In addition, we reveal the prevalence of each rank in the cities and counties of the southern Russian frontier.

The article analyzes main sources for genealogical study of service families of the 17th century. The subject of the study is sources on history and genealogy of service class families in the 17th century, revealed in specific study of O(A)stafievs, boyar scions of the Chernavsk uezd. The relevance of the study is determined by lack of scientific publications containing analysis of sources on the genealogy of service class people in Russia (and particularly, in “territory of the southern borderland”) of the time. It should be noted that genealogical aspects of formation of the military-service corporation of the Chernavsk uezd is virtually absent in scholarship. Relying on documentary, analytical, systemic, chronological, and biographical methods, the authors have examined unpublished archival sources from the fonds of the Order-in-charge (Razryadny) and Domestic (Pomestny) Prikazes from the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts. These are desyatni (books on armament capability, allocation, distribution of allowance), annual budget books, krestoprivodnye knigi (pledge of allegiance books), pistsovye knigi (owner land descriptions), otkaznye knigi (land grants books), petitions, revisions of service class people, etc. Working with these historical sources has allowed the authors to carry out a comprehensive genealogical study and to systematize data on life, family ties, specifics of military service of the service class families representatives in the southern borderlands in the 17th century, in particular, O(A)stafievs, boyar scions of the Chernavsk uezd. As a result of the study, many documents have been introduced into scientific use. The historical and genealogical research carried out by the authors has now been brought up to the 1640s. It has been established that boyar scions Astafyevs were among the first settlers in the uezd who received estates for service from Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov in the mid-17th century. One of unresolved issues in the study is the question of the Astafievs' “exodus” to Chernavsk, in other words, identification of their former place of residence. Service class people moved to different uezds for various reasons (lack of land, the development of new territories, military conflicts, etc.) thus expanding their familial geography. This fact indicates that in the course of studying genealogy of service class families, certain problems may arise associated with absence or fragmentation of sources for individual uezds and difficulties in determining the family ties, especially in the early 17th century.

We consider the subordination of cities and counties of the southern borderland (Black Earth Region) to Moscow prikazes. We determine that the main prikaz for the Black Earth Region was the Order-in-charge prikaz, which concentrated in its hands the military, administrative, financial and judicial management of the South. Specific tasks in the south of Russia were solved by other prikazes: Ambassadorial, Domestic, Prikaz of Riflemen, Robbery Prikaz and others. The Don Cossacks were in charge of the Ambassadorial prikaz, and were supplied with bread from the Black Earth Region territory. The Domestic prikaz endowed the service class people with lands, kept records of manors and patrimonial estates. The Prikaz of Riflemen supervised riflemen and city Cossacks. The Robbery prikaz organized the fight against criminal offenses. Throughout the 17th century, the competence of the Order-in-charge prikaz in relation to the cities of the Black Earth Region expanded. According to the documents, the desire of prikazes chiefs to expand the competence of their department is traced.

В статье рассматриваются описи приданого второй половины XVII в., выявленные в коллекции документов столбцового делопроизводства Тверского государственного объединенного музея. Документы относятся к частным архивам семейств служилых людей, территориально связанных в Верхневолжьем и Подмосковьем: Теприцких, Скорятиных, Киреевских, Суворовых. Описи выявлены в составе сговорных и рядных грамот, и как самостоятельные документы. Перечни движимого имущества включают украшения и предметы одежды, характеризующие владельцев как сравнительно обеспеченных людей. Это обязательные элементы гардероба: меховые шубы и шапки. Более вариативным является набор остальных вещей: охабней, ферязей, кафтанов, однорядок, телогрей. В обязательный набор ювелирных изделий входили предметы личного благочестия: кресты с цепочками, а также серьги и перстни. Описи приданого отражают характерные явления моды последней четверти XVII в. Источники демонстрируют высокую ценность предметов одежды и украшений в материальном обиходе провинциального дворянства конца XVII в., вне зависимости от материальной стоимости изделий, так как в них наряду с престижными дорогими вещами включались и детально описывались и предметы менее ценные, изготовленные из недорогих материалов. The article is devoted to the records of the dowry of the second half of the 17th century, revealed in the collection of documents of the column office work ( stolbtsy ) of the Tver State Joint Museum (TSJM), No. 1431. The documents relate to private archives of families of service class, geographically connected with Upper Volga region (Tverskoi, Jarovskii, Uglichskii, Bezhetskii, Kashinskii uezds, etc.) and Moscow region (Dmitrovskii uezd): Tepritskiуe, Skoryatny, Kireevsky, Suvorov. The lists are revealed both as part of collusion and contract records, and as independent documents. Lists of movable property include decorations and garments characterizing owners as comparatively well-off people. These are the mandatory elements of the wardrobe: fur coats and caps. More variable is the set of other things: okhaben’, feras, kaftan, odnoryadka, telogreia . The mandatory set of jewelry included items of personal piety: crosses with chains, as well as earrings and finger rings. The descriptions of the dowry reflect the characteristics of fashion of the last quarter of the 17th century. The sources demonstrate the high value of clothing and jewelry in the material environment of the provincial nobility of the late 17th century, regardless of the cost of the things. Along with prestigious expensive things, items of less valuable, made from inexpensive materials were included and described in detail.

We propose a systematic approach to the study of the South Russian counties garrisons formation principles located along the Belgorod and Tambov lines. We consider the state policy on attraction of various categories of the population for record in military people, including differ-ent social groups: peasants, relatives of service class people, townspeople. Particular attention is paid to attracting immigrants from the Don and Ukraine to new countries. We note economic and social measures to attract migrants. On the basis of new documents we trace the policy of the Russian government on forcible resettlement to the southern border of exiles which in the middle of 17th century considerably strengthened a number of local garrisons. We emphasize the predominant role of government colonization of the southern suburbs in the 17th century.
