The '''Rasulpur Estate''' of Ghosi in Mau district was historically tied to the '''Chainpur Bhumihar family''' through succession by ''nawasa'' (daughters’ sons). When the zamindars of Rasulpur like those of [[Maksudpur]] and [[Salemgarh]] faced the absence of direct male heirs, they adopted the sons of their daughters as successors. These daughters had been married into the '''[[Chainpur]]''' family, which belonged to the '''Eksariya Bhumihar lineage'''. As a result, the estates of Rasulpur, Maksudpur, and Salemgarh became closely connected to Chainpur, creating a strong kinship network that preserved estate continuity and reinforced the influence of the Eksariya Bhumihars across eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. | The '''Rasulpur Estate''' of Ghosi in Mau district was historically tied to the '''Chainpur Bhumihar family''' through succession by ''nawasa'' (daughters’ sons).
