     Laszló Kérészy was born circa 1350. Circa 1380 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary, Laszló Kérészy married Erzsébet Tussay, daughter of Márton Tussay. Laszló Kérészy died before 1414 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary.

     Lorinc Herencsény was born circa 1350. He was the son of Demeter Herencsény. He is mentioned in a document in 1387.¹

     Ambrus Pólyi was born circa 1350 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary. Circa 1415 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary, Ambrus Pólyi married Erzsébet Tussay, daughter of Márton Tussay.¹ Ambrus Pólyi died before 1434 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary.

     Erzsébet Tussay was born circa 1360 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary. She was the daughter of Márton Tussay. Circa 1380 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary, Erzsébet Tussay married Laszló Kérészy. In a document from 1414 there is a record that the widow Laszlóné Kérészy, born Erzsébet Tussay, acknowledges, in the presence of Márkus Isépy and his son, Mátyus, receipt of the quarter property and dowry due to her grandmother; remarking at the same time that her grandmother was Erzsébet Isépy, daughter of János Isépy (son of Sztanch) and wife of Mak Tussay. Circa 1415 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary, Erzsébet Tussay married Ambrus Pólyi.¹
The descendants of Sztanch Isépy's granddaughter Erzsébet Isépy (wife of Mak Tussay), namely, Erzsébet Tussay, the widow of Ambrus Pólyi, widowed Mihályné Hamvay, Orsolya Cseley, Krisztina Cseley (Jánosné Csizy) and Katalin Cseley (Miklósné Mérai Pothõ), (whom we mentioned in 1414) at the Chapter of Eger sold their inheritance in the villages of Cseley, Beretõ, Karós, Berecski, Arács, Sink, Kis-Mihály, Sóskut, Merk, Keék, and Bogát for 500 gold forints to János Perényi. This caused complications and litigation later on.¹

     Mátyás Isépy was born circa 1370 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary. He was the son of Márkus Isépy. Circa 1391 in Pólyi, Abauj-Torna, Hungary, Mátyás Isépy married Orsolya Chyrke. Mátyás Isépy was an heir in the will of Márkus Isépy in 1410 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary. "Márkus Isépy, who survived his brother, also made a last will, in 1410, at the Chapter of Eger; and his will, written on parchment paper, was in the possession of the family for a long time. It is mentioned in an old list of family documents. He left his own acquisitions and his properties at Beretõ, Karós and Keék to be shared equally between his son, Mátyus and his daughter, Anna."¹
In 1410 the grandchildren of Péterné Lasztóczy started court proceedings against Márkus, son of Mátyus I., and his son, Mátyus II., because the latter showed reluctance in returning Felsõ Halám, in its entirety, to the rightful owners; and they were still occupying it. State judge, Simon Rozgonyi agreed, in 1411, that the complainants were right; therefore he instructed the Convent of Lelesz to draw a border line between the two properties; and he made arrangements for the replacement of the old, and hardly visible, border markings, thus legally separating the properties. Mátyás Isépy was mentioned in a lawsuit or legal action in 1413 in Agócs, Zemplén, Hungary. In 1413, Jakab Agóchy and his relatives accused Márkus Isépy and his son Mátyus with wounding and even killing residents of Agócs. In the same year the Cseleys and kinsmen who lived with them in relative peace, raised a complaint against Márkus Isépy’s family because they took over by force their plough-lands in the border area of Terebes; further using their serfs, they regularly cut-down the Agóchys' forests at Cselej and other lands of theirs that were planted with trees.² He was mentioned in a lawsuit or legal action in 1413 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary. In 1413, Márkus and his son Mátyus complained when Gyapoly's son, Benedek Rákóczy, committed forceful acts on Sink and Arács, thereby causing extensive damage to them. The matter went as far as the highest court of the country, which in 1414 ordered retaliatory steps against Benedek Rákóczy on behalf of Márkus, Mátyus and András Isépy.¹ In a document from 1414 there is a record that the widow Laszlóné Kérészy, born Erzsébet Tussay, acknowledges, in the presence of Márkus Isépy and his son, Mátyus, receipt of the quarter property and dowry due to her grandmother; remarking at the same time that her grandmother was Erzsébet Isépy, daughter of János Isépy (son of Sztanch) and wife of Mak Tussay. He was mentioned in a lawsuit or legal action in 1418 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary. In 1418, it was Mátyus II Isépy and his son, András, as well as the Cseleys, who dragged János and Péter Lasztóczy, András Leszteméry and the five Chapy brothers / sisters into court, because in their opinion the latter carried away from Mérk, crops that were not due to them, at which occasion they even threatened to murder János and Achilles Cseley.²
In 1418, János Cseley and Mátyus II Isépy, together with their men, attacked - with arms - men working on the Halám farmstead of Péter Lasztóczy. They beat them up thoroughly and carried them off; and as Péter Lasztóczy hurried out to help; he, too, was assaulted in the woods at Halám. They even cut off his right hand and, as badly wounded as he was, they carried him off, too. That last violent act on their part brought serious consequences, as Mátyus II was brought to trial and was condemned to lose his head and all his cattle. It is not only he who was in serious danger but this also caused fatal disadvantages for his family, because it resulted in the confiscation of Izsép, Beretõ, Kis-Mihály, Sink, Arács, Berecki, Karós and Keék. The fiscus [bailiff] put his hands on these lands in 1419. Mátyus only escaped his punishment because - according to a record originating in 1422 - King Zsigmond fully pardoned him in consideration of his outstanding merits while he was in the king's escort in the Czech Country. Unfortunately we have to accept the mere mention of Mátyus' actions in the Czech Country, because the note referring to it does not give any further details.² He was mentioned in a lawsuit or legal action circa 1420 in Karós, Zemplén, Hungary. During his residence at Karós, Mátyus clashed with his neighbors, Ferenc Zerdahelyi and István Upory. He started an investigation against them because they forcefully took and drove away pigs that were brought to Karós by his serfs to eat fallen nuts in the forest; they even wounded Mátyus Isépy with their arrows.² He was mentioned in a lawsuit or legal action in 1424 in Kismihály, Zemplén, Hungary. During the year 1424, Mátyus Isépy and his son András, Jakab Cseley and his son András, as well as, János and Achillesz Cseley complain together of György and Tamás Doby, because the latter had their serfs remove border markings on Cseley-Isépy properties at Kis-Mihály. They also cut down fruit trees and took over forcefully a substantial part of the Cseley-Isépy land.^2,3 He was mentioned in a lawsuit or legal action in 1429 in Berettõ, Zemplén, Hungary. In 1429, Mátyus II and his son András came into conflict with the Buthkays when - in agreement with János and András Cseley - they wished to reestablish the faded and therefore shifted borderlines of Beretõ on the side of Falkus and Butke, that is, on the neighboring properties of the Butkays. This conflict, however, was settled by mutual agreement. A newer assault by the Zerdahelyis was much more unpleasant; as they had their serfs destroy the forests at Karos to the point that an investigation was started against them. It appears that Mátyus II needed money around 1429, because he pawned part of Karos to András Azáry for 100 gold forints.² He died in 1436 in Karós, Zemplén, Hungary. In the same year, that is in 1436, Gyapoly Morvai's son Benedek, together with his sons: László, Szilveszter and István, protested against Mátyus Isépy (who unfortunately died early that year) and his son András for repossessing plough-lands lying between Luskóc and Alsink for Margit Zeretvay, widow of Imre Leszteméry.¹
