Jan Andrzej Broel-Plater: Plater Genealogy

Notes	Gen.VIII Or Jan Andrzej Henryk. Appeared with various first names. In Polish sources he is mentioned only as Jan Andrzej. In German sources he is usually Jan Henryk but sometimes, also, as Jan Andrzej, once as Jan and on another occasion as Andrzej. Such conjectures are confirmed by the fact that when in 1694 he produced in German a devoted remembrance for his mother, he signed himself as "Johann Heinrich Plater" I believe that Jan Andrzej was born no later than 1626 because his younger brother Fabian was born in 1628. Jan Andrzej was the heir after his father of Great and Little Indryca and after that he purchased Antonosze (after the Morykoni´s and before the Romers) and Pudusiat. According to Uruski, he was the peace-time courtier in 1660 to King Jan Kazimierz. He was a "Warrior for three monarchs". Indeed, such a mention being made about him is fully justified because in 1660 and also after that in the years 1661 and 1664 he received brevets on two occasions to form a squadron of cavalry (rajtarska) - one of 100 horse and the other of 200 horse (Wilczyński). From 1669 he is continually mentioned as a Colonel in Foreign Contingents in the Army of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and finally as a participant in the relief of Vienna in 1683. Died: According to some Polish sources on the 24th February.
