Biography

Ferdynand Ignacy Piłsudski was born in Pajūralis [lt] Manor in c. 1670 to Jan Kazimierz Piłsudski and Ewa Piłsudska (née Prejkint).

The family was Polonized Lithuanian nobility that over time became part of the Polish nobility (szlachta);[1] it has been called either a Polish noble family[2] or a Polish-Lithuanian noble family.[3]

Ferdynand was the brother of:

  1. Konstancja Piłsudska (m. Jerzy Górski)
  2. Dominik Piłsudski (m. N.N. Stęgwiłł)
  3. Norbert Piłsudski (m. N.N. Grotus)
  4. Roch Mikołaj Piłsudski (b.c1680) - Stolnik of Vawkavysk. Roch's marriage to Magłorzata Pancerzyńska - whose brother, Karol Piotr Pancerzyński [pl] (died 1729), was Bishop of Vilnius[4] - raised the wealth and prestige of the Piłsudski family.
  5. Mikołaj Piłsudski
  6. Reinhold Michał Piłsudski (m. Teresa Kisarzewska)
  7. Joanna Petruszewiczowa
  8. Emerencjanna Jucewiczowa

  10. Anna Katarzyna Piłsudska

Ferdynand Piłsudski became a Colonel and Commander of the Samogitian Division in the Grand Ducal Lithuanian Army.

In the Warsaw Confederation (1704)[5] Ferdinand was a supporter of Stanisław Leszczyński and opponent of Augustus II of Saxony.[6]

Šilalė Manor was inherited by Ferdynand's son Ludwik Piłsudski. He in turn sold the estate to his brother, Franciszek Piłsudski.
