Sri Sawai Maharaja of Jaipur
1699 - 1743 Jai Singh I "...was distinguished by his intellectual capacity and his liberal patronage of science and art. His attainments in mathematics and astronomy have made his name known to European scholars...." (Aitchison, p. 89)
1743 - 1750 Ishwari Singh
1750 - 1768 Madho Singh I
1768 - 1778 Prithvi Singh II succeeded his father as a boy of five. The regency was held by is Madho Singh I's widowed queen, a daughter of Jaswant Singh Chundawat, the baron of Deogarh in Mewar. "Immediately after Madho Singh's death, his father-in-law Jaswant came over to Jaipur and began to wield the regency on behalf of his grandson in concert with the three ministers, Kushali Ram Bohra, Raj Singh Kachhwa and Firuz. (Sinh, p. 259)
1778 - 1803 Pratap Singh
1803 - 1818 Jagat Singh II "...ended a life which had been spent in gross debauchery. He left no sons and an attempt was made to put Mohan Singh, a distant relative of the family, in power; but on the 25th of April one of the Ranis bored a posthumous son, Jai Singh, and he was recognized as heir both by the Jaipur nobles and he British Government. His mother, who was known as the Bhatianiji Maji, was Regent. Till the Rani's death on 1833 Jaipur was a scene of corruption and misgovernment, and the British Government found it necessary to appoint an officer to reside at Jaipur and to authorise him to interfere in the internal administration of the State, with the view of guarding the interests of Government and securing the payment of the tribute." (Aitchison, p. 91)
1818 - 1819 Mohan Singh (Man Singh II) -Regent
1819 - 1835 Jai Singh III "...died in 1835, leaving as his successor a son, Ram Singh, then under two years of age. It was supposed that the Raja had been poisoned by one Jota Ram, the paramour of the late Rani, who, under her influence, had acquired great power in the State and supplanted in the office of minister Rawal Bairisal, the nominee of the British Government...." (Aitchison, p. 91)
1835 - 1880 Ram Singh II succeeded to the throne when he was about two years old. "...It therefore again became necessary...for the British Government to interfere in the internal administration, in which till then the Chadrawatji Maji, as mother of the minor, Ram Singh, had been de facto Ruler. A Council of Regency, consisting of five of the principal nobles, was formed under the superintendence of the Political Agent, for whose decision all measures of importance were submitted; the army was reduced; every branch of the administration was reforemd, and sati, slavery, and infanticide were prohibited...." (Aitchison, pp. 91-92) "Maharaja Ram Singh did good service during the mutinies, for which he received a grant of the pargana of Kot Kasim under a promise to respect the revenue settlements made while the pargana was under British management. He also received in 1862, the privilege of adoption. He was an intelligent ruler, and took great interest in opening up roads through his State and also in education. Moreover, he much extended irrigation and gave his capital the benefit of gas and water workrs...In consequence of his liberality during the famine in Rajputana in 1868, his salute was raised from seventeen to nineteen guns as a personal distinction...At the Imperial Assemblage at Delhi in January 1877 his personal salute was further raised to twenty-one guns and the title of 'Councillor of the Empress' was bestowed upon him." (Aitchison, pp. 92-93)
Maharajadhiraj (title Saramand-i-Rajha-i-Hindustan Raj Rajindra Sri Maharajadhiraj)
1880 - 1922 Madho Singh II known as Kaim Singh of the Isarda Division of the Jhalai branch of the family was nominated as successor by Ram Singh II on his death-bed. The Government of India confirmed the selection, and Kaim Singh accordingly ascended the gadi under the name of Madho Singh II. He was then 19 years old, and during the minority, the State was administered by a Council of which the British Resident and the Maharaja were joint Presidents. He was invested with full powers in 1882 when he reached his 21st year. (Aitchison, pp. 93-94)

"This State was founded by the Abyssinian admirals who served the Nizam Shahi Kings of Ahmednagar, and waged incessant war with the Mahrattas holding successfully their own territorial possessions. In 1733, Sidi Kasim Yakut Khan entered into an offensive and defensive, alliance with the British Government but until 1862 Jinjira " maintained a proud independence paying no tribute, and permitting no British Agent to reside in the island." In 1870, His Khan. Highness Nawab Sidi Ibrahim Khan " visited Bombay to pay his respects to His Koyal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh; and injudiciously prolonging his stay, his nobles rose and formally deposed him, giving the State to his son. The Government of India reinstated him, however, on condition of his engaging to be guided by the advice of its Agents, and of his reforming his administration. The Political Agent is the Collector of Kolaba. An assistant resides permanently at Marad, three miles from the fort. His Highness the Nawab has judicial inferior powers, and is entitled to a Salute. Salute of 9 guns which he received at the Imperial Assemblage, held at Delhi on the 1st January 1877, as a mark of personal distinction." (Ghosla, p. 156)

JATH
Area: 885 square miles
Population: 49,486 (1881)
Gross Revenue: £28,000 (Rs. 2,80,000) (1883)
JATH, a native state of India, in the Deccan division of Bombay, ranking as one of the southern Mahratta jagirs. With the small state of Daphlapur, which is an integral part of it, it forms the Bijapur Agency, under the collector of Bijapur district. Area, including Daphlapur, 980 sq. m. Pop. (1901), 68,665, showing a decline of 14% in the decade. Estimated revenue 24,000; tributeAgriculture and cattle-breeding are carried on; there are no important manufactures. The chief,. whose title is deshmukh, is a Mahratta of the Daphle family. The town of Jath is 92 M. S.E. of Satara. Pop. (1901), 5404.
"The family of the Jath chief claim descent from Lakhmaji bin Eldaji Chavhan, headman of the village of Daphlapur. Lakhmaji had two sons Satvajirav and Dhondjirav. In 1680 Satvajirav, who had entered the service of Ali Adil Shall, king of Bijapur, on paying a succession fee or nazarana, was appointed Deshmukh of the sub-divisions of Jath, Karajgi, Bardol, and Vanvad; Satvajirav continued one of the leading Bijapur nobles till the state was overthrown by Aurangzeb in 1686. He assumed independence for a few days, but finally submitted to Aurangzeb, receiving Jath and Karajgi in jagir, and Jath, Karajgi, Vanvad, and Bardol as vatans. Satvajirav's two sons, Babaji and Khanaji, died about 1700 before their father. On Satvaji's death without heirs, Esubai, the wife of his eldest son Bavaji, succeeded. On her death in 1754 Esubai was succeeded by her nephew Yashvantrav. In 1759 Yashvantrav died and was succeeded by his son Amritrav. Amritrav was succeeded by his son Khanajirav, who had two wives Renukabai and Salubai. In 1818 Renukabai made a treaty with the English under which all her possessions were confirmed to her. In 1823 Renukabai died and was succeeded by Salubai who administered the state for ten months and died without leaving male issue The state was then attached by the Raja of Satara, but in 1824 it was granted to Ramrav bin Narayanrav a member of the same family. In 1835 Ramrav died leaving no male issue. The Raja of Satara again attached the state and managed it till 1841, when it was granted to Bhagarthibai the widow of Ramrav. In 1841, with the permission of the Satara government, Bhagirthibai adopted Bhimrav bin Bhagvantrav. Bhimrav on his adoption took the name of Amritrav. During Amritravs minority the state was managed by Bhagirthibai till her death in 1845. On Bhagirthibai's death Sakhojirav Savant was appointed karbhari or manager, and remained in office till Amritrav came of age in 1855. In 1872 owing to numerous complaints of oppression on the part of Amritrav, the Government of Bombay ordered Captain, now Lieutenant Colonel, West to make inquiries into the alleged grievances. The result of these inquiries was that both the civil and the criminal administration was taken out of the chief's hands. The chief of Jath, who is styled Deahmukh, is a Maratha by caste and ranks as first class sardar. Besides small sums on account of rights in other districts, the chief pays to the British Government a yearly tribute of £473 18s. (Rs. 4739) on account of sardeshmukhi rights in the Satara district and of £640 (Rs. 6400) in lieu of furnishing svars or horsemen. At present (1884) the chief has no jurisdiction. A karbhari or manager has been appointed with the powers of a first class subordinate judge in civil oases, and of a first class magistrate in criminal cases."
