A descendant of Fyodor Vasilyev was discovered in Vvedenye

The MS correspondent gained access to documents that shed light on the family secrets of Shuyanin, the father of 86 children, a Guinness Book record holder.

Let us remind our readers that the peasant of Shuisky district Fyodor Vasiliev, who in 2010 was nominated by the editors of MS as a candidate for the title “Name of Shuya,” became famous for being the father of 86 children. For comparison: Sultan of Morocco Moulay Ismail, who lived in the 18th century, had 700 sons and 342 daughters. Only he had not two wives, like the Shuya record holder, but a whole harem. That is why the name of Fyodor Vasiliev was officially included in the Guinness Book of Records, and it is unlikely that anyone in the world will be able to move the man from Shuisky district from this pedestal. Our newspaper dedicated many publications to Fyodor Vasiliev, proving that this man is worthy of installing at least some kind of memorial sign in his small homeland. However, we admit, we were confused by the fact that in the history of the Shuya record holder there were too many dark, insufficiently clear pages. And we didn’t even dare to dream about finding the descendants of a father with many children. And now, finally, we present to the readers what we managed to dig up in the archives and publications of past years, literally bit by bit. Finally, it was possible to connect documents that shed light on the history of the Vasilyev family. But we’ll tell you about everything in order, interspersing previously known information with information received by the MS correspondent recently.

Who is Fedor Vasiliev?

Fyodor Vasiliev (1704-1790) was born into the family of a monastic serf and was himself a serf, assigned to the Nikolo-Shartomsky monastery. He lived in the village of Vvedenskoye (now Vvedenye), and during the period of church reforms of Catherine the Great he was transferred to the category of “state-owned” peasants and moved to the Kufrino farm, which was located just a few fathoms from the village of Zheltonosovo, which at the beginning of the 18th century was territorially part of Shuisky district (now it is Ivanovo district). History is silent about the name of Fedor’s first wife, who gave birth to 69 children. But his second wife Anna, who gave him 17 children, was from the village of Melnichnoe.

By the way, Vasiliev is not a surname. Peasants in Rus' did not have surnames. It only meant a shortened form of his patronymic, that is, his father's name. Fyodor's son Alexey was already called Fedorov, Fyodor's grandson Egor was already called Alekseev, and so on.

The ancestral branch of the record holder

It was very difficult to feed such a large crowd of children. Children were sent to be raised in childless and small families. Thus, one of the sons of Fyodor Vasilyev - Alexey Fyodorov - was transferred to the village of Teplintsevo to the serf peasant of the landowner A.G. Plautina. In this village, Alexey grew up, got married, got a house, and gave birth to children Yegor, Stepan, and Vasily. Alexei’s grandchildren were born, raised, and started families here: Fedor, Ivan, Vasily, Flor. Grandson Vasily married Zakharya peasant woman Marya Antonova and moved to live in his father-in-law's house. In Zakharyin, Vasily’s sons, Photius and Nikifor, were born, raised and started families. Their cousin Yakov, who lived in Teplintsevo, took the surname Florov in honor of his father. Ivan and Vasily received the surname Egorov in honor of their father Egor. And Fyodor generally took the Parukhins’ surname, which was incomprehensible (at least to us). The descendants of Fyodor Vasilyev - free peasants - fled from the village of Teplintsevo. Zakhar Parukhin, enrolled in the ranks of the burghers, began trading in the city of Kokhma. The old people died, the young people left, their trace was lost. The children of Photius and Nikifor Vasilyev also left the village of Zakharyino. However, at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, Yegor Fotievich, Pyotr Fotievich, Fyodor Nikiforov and his brothers Mikhail, Peter, Dimitri, Maxim returned to their native lands.

So numerous offspring of those Florovs, Vasilievs, Egorovs, Parukhins live in this world, not realizing that their ancestor is the legendary Fyodor Vasiliev.

How memory faded and was revived

Peasants were not nobles; they did not carry out “knee paintings.” But according to ancient traditions, they honored their father and mother, remembered a little about their grandfather and knew practically nothing about their great-grandfather. Gradually, in the 4th-5th generations, the memory of ancestor Fyodor Vasiliev began to fade. The unwitting culprit of this was Alexey, Fyodor’s son, who was being brought up by adoptive parents who considered him their own son and hid his true origins from him.

A woman from Russia gave birth to 69 children - a world record

The family legend about the “heroine mother” could not be actively passed on from generation to generation.

The revival of the memory of Fyodor Vasiliev began with the history teacher of the Zakharya school, local historian A. Dolgov, who came across A. Shirokogorov’s notes from 1870, telling about large family Fyodor Vasiliev. It was the son of the parish priest of the Vvedenskaya Church, Father Vasily, seminarian Sasha Shirokogorov who outlined the initial contours of the family tree of the Vasilyev family. He used the archives of the Church of the Presentation and the Nikolo-Shartomsky Monastery. Original version family tree The Vasilievs were further developed by the history teacher of the Zakharyinsky school A. Dolgov.

The editors would like to express their gratitude to Valentina Vasilyeva, a native of the village of Zheltonosovo, now living in the village. Introduction, descendant of Fyodor Vasiliev in the 7th generation, for help in writing the article.

The birth of one baby is a classic of the nature genre regarding the Crown of Creation, man. However, “thanks to” our intervention in nature and the development of artificial insemination technology, multiple pregnancy is no longer uncommon.

Twins and triplets are no longer a special feature. Women give birth to five, eight and even 11 children at once. We invite you to look at these courageous mothers, who at one time created a large, large family for themselves.

Identical 14-year-old twins were born as a quartet: Megan, Sarah, Kendra and Callie Durst became famous at the age of 6, and are now starring in a reality show about their lives.
According to data for 2005, 15 identical quadruplets were born in the world, 10 of them were sisters, but there are many more non-identical quadruplets. According to statistics, one quadruplet occurs in 700 thousand pregnancies.

The most famous, first and only case of the birth of quintuples identical twins- Canadian Dionne family. The girls were born in 1934 and long years were a landmark of the province of Ontario, and according to the twins themselves, their fate was not an enviable one.

In 2013, quintuplets were born in Salt Lake City - 3 girls and 2 boys. It is noteworthy that the pregnancy occurred naturally.

Last year, 2016, 37-year-old Odessa resident Oksana Kobeletskaya gave birth to quintuplets, although the couple were expecting twins.

Nkem Chukwu from Texas gave birth to eight babies in December 1998. Moreover, on December 8 she gave birth to a girl, and on the 20th she gave birth to 5 more girls and two boys (one of the babies died shortly after giving birth).

In 2009, 33-year-old Nadi Suliman gave birth to eight twins - two girls and six boys. All children are alive and well, and this is the only case of octuplets where all survived.

Nineteens were born in 1971, 1972, 1976, 1977, 1979 and 1999, but, unfortunately, none of these 54 children survived

Ten children - until today was considered the largest number of children born from one pregnancy. In 1946, 8 girls and 2 boys were born in Brazil; there are also known cases of the birth of such a number of children in China in 1936 and in Spain in 1924. There is no information about whether the children survived.

42-year-old resident of the Indian city of Riley Maria Fernandez naturally gave birth to 11 children in 37 minutes. All are completely healthy boys, six of whom are identical twins. This phenomenon is included in the Guinness Book of Records. Thus, today 11 children born from one pregnancy are an absolute record.

According to the Guinness Book of Records, a Russian woman gave birth to the most children in the 18th century: she gave birth to 69 children in 30 years.

The Guinness Book of Records records that the most children were born in the 18th century by a Russian woman, about whom it is only known that she was the wife of the peasant Fyodor Vasiliev. Over 30 years, she gave birth 27 times: 16 pairs of twins, 7 triplets and 4 quadruplets. There are 69 children in total.

By the way, after the death of his first wife, Fyodor Vasiliev married again, and his second wife gave birth to 18 more children: six twins and two triplets. However, even this result does not allow us to consider Fyodor Vasilyev the most father of many children in history. But the record of the nameless peasant woman has not yet been broken.
