Paul (Petros) Rodocanachi

Notes:

Died of typhoid fever at 6 pm. His uncle Zannis Schilizzi gave 5,000 grosia to St John, Galata, for masses to be said every year on the anniversary of his birth and death. 1,000 grosia were given to St Victor's cathedral, Chios for an annual mass.

A marginal note in the diary of Zannis Schilizzi says that the family decided that the financial difficulties of St John's church in 1870 made it impossible for a bishop to celebrate the requiem mass.

Notes:

Recorded as taken hostage and hanged by the Turks, 23 Apr 1822, Chios. According to Catsiyannis, however, Petros was decapitated in his father-in-law's garden while Franga was forced to watch in order to obtain their gold.

Although not one of those held hostage and then hanged on 23 Apr 1822, his name appears with those who were on the memorial in Vounaki Square, Chios.

Petros married Franga (Stephanis) Schilizzi. Franga (daughter of Chadzi Stephanis (Zannis) Schilizzi and Hypatia (Zorzis) Calvocoressi) was born in 1801 in Chios, Greece; died on 25 Dec 1851 in Constantinople/Istanbul, Turkey. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She arrived in Constantinople on 5 Jun 1840 with her son Paul. Her brother Zannis paid 5,000 grossia each to St John's Church, Galata, and to St Victor, Chios, for masses to be read for her by a bishop every year on 30th Jan.

She was forced at knife-point to watch her husband being decapitated but escaped with her mother and son after after handing over the family's gold.
