Marietta (Pandely) Agelasto

Notes:

Unknown to Argenti.

This information is provided by George Vassiadis who reports: Marietta and Anastasios are also attested to by Sturdza.


Argenti has Argentou Agelasto married to Eustache Eugenidi and says that Franga Agelasto is her sister. It is certain that Argenti placed Franga in the wrong family and he probably misplaced Argentou as well. Possibly (1) Argenti's Argentou was in fact Marietta and (2) was indeed Franga's sister.

LDS (familysearch.com) listed on 11 Mar 2001 a Marietta Agelasto birth abt 1820, Constantinople, marriage abt 1841, Constantinople.

The sisters Franga and Marietta Agelasto were declared as the sole heiresses of their uncle Stephanos D. Agelastos in a hereditary title certificate issued by the Mayor of Athens.

George Agelastos comments:

The initial of Maria’s husband’s name is not clearly legible on the certificate. It reads like “Θ” (Th) but is most probably an “A”, which means she is undoubtedly Anastasios Eugenidis’ wife, mentioned as “Marietta” on these pages.

Marietta married Anastasios Eugenidi about 1841 in Constantinople/Istanbul Turkey. Anastasios was born about 1797 in Sparta, Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece; died in 1860 in Constantinople/Istanbul Turkey. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Pandoleon [Pandely] D. Agelasto was among the 327 Chiot refugees in Syros who signed a letter dated 10 Jul 1829 to the Governor of Greece.

Residence: 1829, Syros.

Pandely married Sappho (Stamatios) Agapiadis. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Zolotas says that references to Dimitri Pandelis Agelasto are found in three sources: the Lazaretto Codex of Chios in 1787, archives of Chadzi Lorenzis Schilizzi in 1816, and in Smyrni in 1816. Argenti created two Dimitri (#7, Dimitri Zannis ) and (#10, Dimitri Pandelis), but this was apparently a mistaken reading of Zolotas who referred to Dimitri only as the son of Pandelis, not Zannis. (George Agelasto)

Logically this man may have had a first son named Pandely Dimitri. Indeed, Pandoleon [Pandely] D. Agelasto was among the 327 Chiot refugees in Syros who signed a letter dated 10 Jul 1829 to the Governor of Greece.

Notes:

Mentioned in the documents of the Evangelical School of Smyrna in 1743, 1764 by Zolotas. He and his wife pay at the Moundon Monastery to have their names included, along with that of Ioannis Agelasto in the Friday evening and Saturday morning memorial sermons (Codex of Monastery of Moundon, about 1746).

Argenti gives him the title "Chadzi". Chatzi derives from the arab word hajj, which means the pilgrimage to Mecca. The Christians´pilgrimage was not to Mecca, of course, but to the Holy Places in Palestine. For an orthodox Greek it was, in former times, a great honor to be able to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Places and, to make things perfect, to be baptized in the Jordan River, like Jesus. This made him then a Chatzi and he was so proud of it that he added this term to his name. Some put it in front of their Christian name ("Chatzi Dimitri Agelasto"), others combined it with their surname. Even in our days there are countless Greeks with surnames of the sort "Chatzikonstantinou", "Chatziapostolou" etc. (George Agelasto)
