Beswan

Beswán jagir owes its origin to Nawal Singh, eldest brother of Daya Rám, who, when worsted in the contest with his energetic younger brother, retired to Beswan, which with 26 other villages had been set apart for his maintenance during the life of Raja Bhuri Singh, his father. Nawal Singh does not appear to have ever taken any measures to press his claims to the gaddi of Hathras by right of seniority. He was succeeded by his two sons, Jíwa Ram and Harikishan. The former received Beswan and the estate connected with it, partly in jagir and partly on a fixed revenue for life, and the latter shared with him. Harikishen Singh joined his Thenua clansmesn Raja Bhagwant Singh of Mursan and Raja Dayaram of Hathras in opposing the British. Harikishen fought Britishers at Kachaura, Bijaigarh and Sasni. It was at the Siege of Bijaigarh that one of the sons of Harikishen Singh died. Harikishen was succeeded by his son Jaikishan or Jaikishor, who, on the downfall of Hathras, obtained the grant of taluka Shahzádpur, formed partly from Háthras and partly from Mendu.

Jaikishan was succeeded by Giri Parshad. He was a very learned and holy personality of his time. He translated and published all the vedas from sanskrit language to German Language in 1870 and for that noble cause he was awarded the prize in 1872 by the then German Government.
