Clan and Banner Background

The Zhuge clan is recorded in volume 55 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners with families in Ula, Ningguta, and Saharca. Zhuoputuo of the Plain White Banner came from Ula and submitted early. The varied locations indicate separate recorded branches, not the birthplace of one ancestor.

Family Service and Distinctions

Zhuoputuo's fifth-generation descendant Tongbao served as a censor in the imperial secretariat; fourth-generation descendant Fuerha was a guard-company officer when the genealogy was compiled. Another fourth-generation descendant, Hetunbu, served as a defence officer in operations against Galdan and received a posthumous yunqiwei. The award passed to his son Changbao and grandson Sengta. The censorial, military-command, and hereditary distinctions belonged to different institutions and individuals.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

A branch descended from Sa'erkan of Ningguta was transferred from the Plain Yellow to the Bordered White Banner. Sa'erkan's grandson Sange held a censorial appointment, Sige served as a ministry secretary, and a great-grandson Changtai as a bithesi. The latter title, from Manchu bithesi, concerned official documentation and translation and is not simply a generic craftsman's job. Relations between the branches, precise settlements, and tenure dates remain to be verified.
