History
The ancestors of the family were originally Chauhan Kshatriyas in the service of the Sayyids of Pihani, having migrated from Rajasthan in the 16th century. Jamni Khan, an early ancestor, obtained the post of Chaudhuri of Kheri from Sayyid Khurda in 1553, with a right to levy tax on all the lands in that pargana. His descendants gradually increased their possessions, the Chaudhri Parbal Singh Janwar owning Oel, Kaimahra, and Khogi, and his descendant, the Rai Than Singh, of Oel, owning many more villages.
